  • Overall a great video, and she did go over this a bit, but it should be stressed that our participation should be limited to

    • Supporting our own candidates in our own working-class parties (IE not the democrats or any capitalist party). These “bourgeios socialists” like AOC, bernie, and mamdani, are not educated enough to realize that by calling themselves “socialists” while running in a capitalist party, they’re watering down the definition to mean just a more equitable sharing of the imperial spoils. None of them are advocating ending the US war machine.
    • that it should be used only as a platform to spread socialist ideas, which of course can’t come about through the system of bourgeios democracy.

    A common tactic of US imperialist and western supremacist socialists, is to ignore the history of the failure of capitalist-party-entryism, especially in the imperial core. Lenin’s advice to the british communists stressed both above, and still ultimately didn’t work out, due to the bribery of the labor aristocracy from the spoils of imperialism.





    1. Don’t de-link from the world market. We can’t really blame the USSR for the cold war, and the US successfully alienating them from the rest of the world, but there were times in the USSR’s history when overtures could have been made, especially to non-aligned countries.
    2. Don’t shy away from a market economy; create a socialist market economy that serves the people. People love treats, and if the capitalist world is able to give them treats, and you aren’t, then people will lose faith in your system over time.
    3. Make sure the military and intelligence forces are controlled by the party, politically educated, and vigilant against opportunists and careerists.
    4. Don’t get involved in war quagmires, or fund revolution abroad. The US set many traps the USSR fell into, and used its larger resources to force the USSR to drain its economy and focus too many material and human resources on the military, which isn’t a productive sector. In a poker game where your opponent has more chips, and forces you to pay a high ante, you should always fold except with the strongest of hands. After you get nukes, you can just always fold and never pay any ante, as has been proven by the PRC and DPRK.

    The PRC and other socialist countries have mostly addressed these.



  • Without getting into the specifics: China has no reason or desire to alienate most of the world, they want friendly relations more than anything else. Here’s the US’s proven mass surveillance record, so they should not be trusted when it comes to making claims against their enemies.

    US tech companies have had a near monopoly over social media, operating systems, and hardware dev, making these claims nothing more than projection, in an attempt to alienate the PRC from potential allies as part of the US trade war against China.

    Also a bonus vid about the Chinese firewall and why they rightly don’t allow US surveillance state platforms to operate inside China, and no country should.
