I'm religious so I do believe in biblical evils, I might view capital that way and that might be (I don't really care) "anti-dialectical". There are plenty of Marxists, usually Maoists, who opposed Dengism for the same reasons. If me calling Deng a capitalist roader is more digestible then there you go.

China being dengist is the issue, I understand the whole "we need to build our productive forces" but honestly, I've come to view capital as almost a biblical evil. It is a corrupting force.
Anyway, yeah they don't care about Baathism, but my concern was more with the allowance of the Palestinian genocide. The USSR would've put troops on the ground.
China is currently being surrounded by US allies, like I agree, but the US won't let that happen without going into a hot conflict.
It's not about letting the US "win". It's witnessing a genocide and doing nothing to help. I don't care about aid or diplomacy, I'm talking about lives. We are measuring these conditions with the death of a people. These revisionist states can very easily just...submit. The west has consistently shown that they will hollow out the core of all existing socialist projects because we all work within their framework.
I'm not American so yeah I agree. I don't expect white people as a whole to do anything for decades at least. At least to the scale that is needed.
This is going to be real armchair leftist but I've been thinking about this for a while. Everything we've been seeing these past few years has really led me to believe that we've entered a period where all of the big let's say anti-west if not anti-imperialists will wither away due to passivity. Russia, China, Iran, they will passively watch their allies blink out one by one, I'm pretty sure if the DPRK ever does invade SK or vice-versa, we will see China do the same thing Iran is doing now. The US will push every red line, the entity has gotten so bold, the of the world know this. I think we've reached a point where the Jakarta method has been perfected, the US will butcher anyone and they know that others will not retaliate.
It won't happen but I think the only way out of this horrible mess is for the left to let go of compassion in a sense. Iran should have glassed Israel, and targeted hospitals and schools. Israel could win such a conflict yes but the fucking nazis would have left in droves, they don't have the spine to live through even an inch of the hardship that our brothers and sisters in Palestine have been through. In a grander sense, and yeah yeah this is but who gives af, there needs to be mass retaliation. Like Algeria did against the French, or a reverse of what we're seeing happening in Syria. If this is the Cold War 2.0, we are seeing a USSR that watched Vietnam fall without care. This a one-sided conflict, our "socialist" bloc is comprised of China, Vietnam (lol, they WILL side with the US), DPRK, and Cuba, idk nothing about Laos. There is no plan.
This isn't meant to be doomerism, I just don't know how these countries can just...watch. China is especially, hot take I guess, but I have no faith in their current strategy.
Currently no one, I use gimp for symbols and small stuff like that, AI for anything else as placeholders. My plan is to start looking for an artist once I'm about 70-80% done!
The biggest concern for me isn't Israel's escalation (they will escalate no matter what) but the US's reaction. No way they don't do something no? Either way, this has made my year, I'm glad to see Israelis feel in an inch of what they have given to others
there's going to be more?? Has Israel ever been hit like this before?
may they all strike true
So I've always believed I was a dialectical materialist but I DO believe in biblical evils. I didn't realize that my belief in God suddenly disavowed me as a materialist.
We would have more likely seen the genocide escalate into a proxy war, something that would have more than likely saved lives. Let's remove troops from the equations, how about some fucking navy support hm? Anything to help even the odds for Hamas. Russia is controlled by Putin, someone who so badly wants to be part of the western club, and they STILL do more than China.
