I don't see how they can truly encircle China. Russia and Mongolia to the North are secure, Central Asia is mostly secure, Southeast Asia is much closer with China than the US. Obviously there's India, Japan, and Korea, expanding that meaningfully gets less likely with each passing day.

It's so hard for me to imagine the US having anything like the political will to do something like that.

literally sounds like she's on the verge of tears because her zionist funding might get pulled if she's seen as 1% affiliated with him

political islam is so dead

in the modern era, it was only ever a substitute for revolutionary Marxism in the best case scenario

hardline religious foreign policy, progressive reformist domestic policies

If only there was a political tradition that was both fiercely anti-imperialist and socially progressive.

For me the excitement is less about a socialist mayor of NYC (which would definitely be cool!) than what this indicates about American political consciousness. It is both a dramatic failure of the Zionist propaganda machine that repudiates their legitimacy entirely and a demonstration of the continued growth in socialist consciousness based on chanting material conditions. It is a clear sign of the continuation of the American people's further embrace of anti-capitalism and support for socialism. Obviously there's still a long way to go, but things are trending well and quickly. And NYC, though not a political capital, is an incredibly politically influential city that tends to be a major indicator of future nationwide political trends. Think Occupy, Bernie (he's a Brooklyn Jew), AOC, the student encampments, etc. When there is a shift in American political consciousness, NYC is often at the forefront.

In all ways, this is a very good sign for the prospect of building mass socialist consciousness in America, which is a prerequisite to socialist revolution here.

Does this guy think it would be unpopular if that literally happened?

lmao keep telling that lie Trump, it definitely won't come back to bite you

 

This dummy doesn't even have demands. Hopefully the rest of the continent holds out and demonstrates to the US its dependency on its neighbors.

 

So I've been watching a YouTube channel called Little Chinese Everywhere. It's a Chinese woman who travels to all different regions of the country. Her videos on minority regions have been amazing, and demonstrate what socialist national liberation looks like in practice. In this video, she goes to a Tibetan city where, for four to six months of the year, the Tibetans leave the city and "play in the grasslands" - long extended summers spent entirely living in the traditional way, but without dependence on subsistence pastoralism. It ends up being a months-long social and cultural festival where all of their traditional lifeways thrive. Then, when the weather turns, they to back to the city and live a modern Chinese urban life (but still thoroughly Tibetan). Tons of her videos show this thriving of non-Han nations with autonomy over their land, lives, and development. It's genuinely moving stuff, and it seems like an excellent model for a socialist post-US and its native nations.

 

Bring it on!
