.worlders come swinging with bangers like this.

How about you blame the oligarchs and big tech CEOs for reprogramming your mind to think and dislike what they want you to think and dislike.

The oligarchs aren’t reprogramming anyone. They facilitate right wingers to spread propaganda, but the actual propaganda is produced by right wingers. Do you think the oligarchs spend their personal time carefully crafting narratives, memes, posters, news article and Facebook posts?

Let’s not pretend that the west needed Putin to become racist/fascist. The same west which slaughtered tens of millions of people at the altars of capital after WW2.

Legal terms are the only terms that are factual and avoid what people feel about the issue.

Pure ideology. What a joke. The institutions of the state do not exist as divine arbiter of truth.

Biden is a genocider because he did everything in his power to provide arms to a state engaged in genocide. Given the level of dependence the idf has on us arms, if Biden made the decision to stop arming Israel, the genocide in Palestine couldn’t have been sustained for more than a few weeks at best.

It is just blatantly counterfactual to state that Israel has the military means to continue the genocide without us military aid.

Some stats on us-israel military cooperation

Israel not only received 22 billion* dollars in aid (the second biggest military spender china spends 140 billion per year ), but also buys almost all it’s military equipment from the us. Israel’s airforce for instance is fitted with us produced planes.

Always funny to see how trump is way less pro-russia than liberals keep screaming. Man completely failed to warm US-Russia relations in his first term and I doubt he is in the second.

Trump’s latest statements highlight the unease many in Moscow’s elite feel about his unpredictability, which has led to a cautious response since his re-election.

Lol the trump admin is only unpredictable if you take trump’s statements too much at face value. The US government doesn’t run on 1 person’s tweets.

Trump’s latest statement on the war in Ukraine notably omits any mention of providing additional weapons to Kyiv, instead signalling a shift towards deploying economic measures against Moscow.

Shift? The west has been using economic measures since day 1.

Trump administration officials have previously indicated that they believe the US could further target Russia’s economy by sanctioning its energy sector.

Lol. Sanctions raj on overdrive.

Biden was already a fascist. Trump just makes the fascism more visually aparant.

It worked, thanks buddy

Will try once I extract my personal files from the system into a USB

The world’s second-largest economy added roughly 277 gigawatts of solar last year, surpassing the previous year’s record of 217 gigawatts, the National Energy Administration said in a statement on Tuesday. It also added nearly 80 gigawatts of wind, according to the statement.

The pace of renewable power installation in China will likely slow in the next few years as delays to grid infrastructure upgrades and limited land availability pose challenges to project development, according to BloombergNEF.

Still, the country is expected to add 273 gigawatts of solar and 94 gigawatts of wind in 2025

These 3 statements taken together are contradictory. The pace of adding renewables will slow down, but in 2025 we will still see more renewables added than in 2024?

I mean, to be fair, I’ve seen more substanceless paragraphs from liberals.

I see, if you are not a native English speaking, then I apologise (this is partly why I don’t like bot accusations).

Marxism teaches us to question everything to see if they serve the working class or just maintain power.

But this power itself could very well be working class power. Maintaining such power would not be a problem, and indeed should be the goal of socialist education.

When I say ‘challenge power structures,’ I mean education should help people understand class struggle and how to improve society, not just obey the system blindly.

Again, teaching children to blindly obey authority figures is not something you can accuse Chinese society of doing without actually compiling and analysing data/evidence.

This isn’t about imposing some ‘Euro-centric’ idea but asking if education is helping build socialism or just keeping things the same. It’s an universal issue.

Universalism itself is a rather euro-centric idea. The European colonists were eager to declare their ideas as universal and to apply them to other societies.

The only way to actually address issues in Chinese society is to first investigate into specific details in Chinese societies. Making general claims/questions is not helpful. Especially not when they are made against a country with one of the richest surviving marxist traditions.

I don’t like accusing people of being bots, but damn is this comment written in chatgpt’s writing style.

I have a better question. What specific part of Chinese education do you believe is so problematic that it undermines socialism?

Because otherwise we are just blowing smoke clouds past each.

China’s ambitious education plan seems to promise quality and accessibility, but we must ask: what kind of education will it promote?

Why ask questions when you intend to answer them yourself and are most likely (speaking from experience) going to ignore any answers received?

True education awakens class consciousness and challenges power structures

The first part is true but the second part is not. The second part presupposes that whatever power structures are in place must always be challenged. You are imposing your own ideology in education. And I know that you are not talking about criticizing or improving the power structures, but rebelling against them because of your next sentence.

but education shaped by the state can become a tool for reinforcing conformity, obedience, and the status quo.

Basically, you want chinese education to become a tool for your euro-centric ideology to forment civil disobedience, in service of your euro-centric goals.

As Marxist theory teaches us

What Marxist theory theory actually teaches us is that we must be critical of everything, including our own biases and circumstances. You are applying your own ideology, developed under the experience of capitalist dictatorship to a socialist society.

Well, in this case, they do have a valid point, in that the growth that China experienced was due to high amounts of capital investment rather than innovation per say. And as we know from the labor theory of value, high amounts of capital investment comes from a correspondingly high amount of the workforce being employed in producing the means of production (rather than consumption).

But to this point, there are 3 rebuttals

1. Xi has made it a point to shift from factor based growth to innovation based growth
2. An an underdeveloped country, China needs high growth in capital. The criticism about factor based growth only applies to fully developed countries. Lifting 800 million people out of poverty is proof that factor driven growth was the correct path for China to take
3. China only became such a massive exporter of goods because the advanced capitalist countries de-industrialised. At the same time, these regions maintained high consumption due to imperialism. Chinese industry is forced to pick up the slack of America/Europe.

That echoes the peace terms that Zelensky and Putin’s representatives discussed in Minsk, Antalya and Istanbul in March and April 2022. Those talks ultimately failed because the Kremlin team refused to budge on key additional demands such as limiting Ukraine’s armed forces and rewriting laws on language rights.

Well, it seems the Russians have gotten their demand of limiting Ukraine’s armed forces either way. So the first one was at least in retrospect, not a bad compromise. As for the second one, what exactly are those details, would you like to elaborate, Mr. Matthews? Is the reason that you aren’t elaborating that the Russians were against the reduction of minority language rights, as admitted even by an Atlantic Council article?

But in many – in fact most –important ways, Zelensky is a victor. Four fifths of Ukraine will emerge independent of Russian dominion

Independent of healthy prime aged males as well

free to rebuild itself as a prosperous European democracy

Yeah cause the “prosperous European democracies” are doing so well themselves, right? How many European leaders have an approval rating above 30%? How many are neoliberal hellhole police states, Owen?

If Ukraine is very lucky, it may find another leader of Zelensky’s strength and calibre.

With luck like this, Ukraine won’t need enemies.
