The claim that the comment "is slop" might overlook socialism and the role of education in class struggle. According to Marxism, socialism is about dismantling class structures and empowering the working class to control production and governance. Education under socialism should awaken revolutionary consciousness, not simply train workers to serve the system.

Marx warned that the ruling class controls both production and ideas to maintain power. A true socialist education system would encourage people to challenge these structures, not support them.

Educated people won't stay obedient. That's why reactionary powers historically avoid aiming for truly educated masses—they prefer a controlled education system that reinforces their ideology, not one that fosters critical thinking or revolutionary action.

China’s ambitious education plan seems to promise quality and accessibility, but we must ask: what kind of education will it promote? True education awakens class consciousness and challenges power structures, but education shaped by the state can become a tool for reinforcing conformity, obedience, and the status quo.

As Marxist theory teaches us, the ruling class controls not just the means of production but also the means of ideas. The flex here is not in building 'education power,' but in demonstrating the capacity to shape minds for the future workforce, ensuring stability within their system of production and governance. In this context, the plan isn't just about making smarter citizens; it’s about making a more compliant society under the guise of progress.

Wonder why Bezos' media channel, aligned with Trump, aligned with etc. is the only source on this..

Meanwhile the investigators in question deny this because of course they deny and we can't trust those either.

Lol the article even has community notes

The comments overwhelmingly express skepticism about the conclusion that undersea cable damage was caused by maritime accidents rather than Russian sabotage. Many commenters argue that it is implausible for ships to accidentally drag anchors for long distances without noticing, suggesting intentional actions instead. There is a strong sentiment that the article's headline misrepresents the content, with accusations of spreading misinformation and downplaying potential Russian involvement.

Marx and Engels developed communism as a scientific critique of capitalism, envisioning a classless, stateless society built on the abolition of exploitation and private property. Their revolutionary theory sought to empower the proletariat, not to impose authoritarianism.

Lenin, Stalin, and Mao departed from this vision. Lenin’s vanguard model centralized power, which under Stalin became a tool for repression. Stalin and Mao betrayed the revolutionary spirit by targeting workers, peasants, and even communists who resisted their distortions of Marxism. Their regimes prioritized the interests of the party-state over the emancipation of the working class.

Despite the harm these deviations caused to the global proletariat and the communist movement, revolutionary theory has advanced. Many contemporary movements reject the errors of authoritarianism, advocating for socialism rooted in democratic, collective power. The struggle for communism continues, undeterred by those who betrayed its principles.

Critique those regimes, which shouldn't be conflated with the original ideals of communism as a philosophy for human equality. The horrible ones were against communists.

Yeah who knows. As of now things look like a PR stunt

Maybe, although Trump’s initiation of the ban in 2020 and its culmination under a bipartisan effort makes it seem that this is not a party issue but a function of state power responding to perceived threats to its hegemony, maybe economic, cultural, or political. This underscores the Marxist understanding that capital ultimately unites in opposition to the interests of the working class.

Communist theory is grounded in the material reality of class struggle, not in abstract "LLM slop". The facts remain and is important to repeat: capitalism exploits workers everywhere. Let's focus on the real issues, not dismissive labels.

Or was it an out of place reference to a meme thread in my profile history where one joke was to ask chatgpt if one doesn't catch a joke

The dismissal is a classic deflection, avoiding the material reality of global capitalist contradictions. The working class faces the same forces of exploitation, and any attempt to obscure that fact only serves to reinforce bourgeois ideologies. It's crucial to avoid inadvertently reinforcing us-them language; you are a part of us, as I am. The truth remains: capitalism's structure perpetuates oppression everywhere, and the task is to unite workers globally in solidarity, not retreat into nationalist illusions.

Our dire situation is indeed global, and the crises of capitalism spare no nation, including China. While the Chinese state presents the veneer of rising material conditions, this trajectory is underpinned by the same contradictions inherent to capitalism everywhere: exploitation of labor, environmental degradation, and the alienation of workers. The notion that Chinese workers, amid rising inequality and workplace pressures, are immune to propaganda or the diversionary tactics of consumerism is illusory. What RedNote—or any platform of genuine cultural exchange—offers is the potential for workers to transcend these national divisions, expose the ideological frameworks that bind them, and unite against their common enemy: capital. To stifle the struggle of Chinese workers by reducing their experiences to caricatures or dismissing their agency as propaganda-induced is not only an act of sinophobia but a failure to recognize the universality of their plight. Whether in the imperial supepowers or somewhere in the periphery, the struggle is the same, and solidarity forged in shared understanding is the path forward. To reject this is to retreat into illusions of exceptionalism that only serve the ruling class.

Everyone else is an agent in this honeypot
