With China’s popularity rising, there has to come a point where a country’s population decides to say:
“We need to follow a Marxist-Leninist model pronto if we want to remain a functioning society, because capitalism isn’t working anymore.”
Which country is gonna say it first?
My guess goes to..
Pakistan
Probably the Russian federation. They have a strong communist party, and a population that reveres it’s socialist past, and a socialist neighbor to emulate.
Spain and Italy?
Italy LOVES fascism, there’s no way
They’ve been doing general strikes all year. They’re cutting ties with Israel. We are WAY more fascist than Italy. We have zero healthcare and WE are paying for the fascist fundamentalist state of Israel to continue its holocaust.
Second wave, 1848 weeps
Second wave socialist revolutions overthrowing the judiciary and merchantry, not second wave capitalist revolutions overthrowing the clergy and aristocracy/nobility.
As Lenin said in his eponymous Imperialism book, it would be in the nation who “is the weakest link in the chain”
Now ehich nation would that be? Hard to say without devoting some serious scholarly dia-mat analysis.
For now, Burkina Faso is a shining beacon in africa. I have hope for the burkinabé.
marxism isn’t going to emerge because of china’s popularity. revolutions would occur if imperialism wasn’t constantly doing black ops to kill every single last communist and their mother.
if i had to guess, it’d be somewhere in south east asia, but who knows, maybe if we don’t have genocide sam in latam a few countries here could do with a revolution.
Latin America is my vote, could happen in Mexico, I would have voted Argentina better Milei, and maybe Venezuela before Trump.
Truthfully though, I think we’re locked in, globally, permanently to Capitalism and right wing ideology into the end of humanity now for deeply complex reasons.
The game changed drastically this year and most people are just not aware how literally impossible it is to change.
well, tbh we’re going back to 2001 after milei’s finished so we’ll probably be so fubar that anything could happen, if the communist party here organizes a bit lol.
but yeah, people don’t realize how deeply embedded the cia is involved in latam. even moderately left wing people are persecuted all across the region in one way or another, if we think about political figures in the pink wave for example.
What changed this year?
China. A second socialist revolution. First, there’s actually precedent for it there. Revolutionaries could call themselves restorationists, promising to fulfill the original revolution’s abandoned mission. Maybe a version that actually empowers workers and builds bottom-up social democracy. Socialism without the authoritarianism. What better country for a socialist revolution than the one that gave us 9-9-6? China is ripe for a socialist revolution.
Properly define authoritarian before using it as a thought-terminating scare word, & you will come to the conclusion that it is simply used to conjure up stereotypical images about certain peoples & their governments.
How do I know this? Because it is so abstract as to be meaningless without further context, & the further context makes countries like China look like fully-realised communism compared to the coloniser states.
Contradictions & struggle increase under a socialist system; they do not evaporate overnight. It’s not easy, & every Party that has led a socialist state is extremely aware that the struggle for communism gets even harder under socialism, because socialism needs to deal with resurgent bourgeois elements, provide for healthcare, establish & defend all the peoples rights (housing, work according to personal ability, healthy food, clean water).
Most importantly it needs to constantly try to get all the people involved in the political sphere with constant bottom-up appointments and elections for leadership and also deal with constant feedback from below and surveying/referenda. And unlike other systems, socialism involves self-criticism & the Party keeping each other honest, on the path, & meeting planning goals (or else you get Yugoslavia).
Anti-corruption must be an even stronger priority under socialism. The Xi era is markedly better for socialism than the era starting with Deng. The CPC has already been reshuffling & getting rid of corrupt actors/aspirant bourgeoisie in the military & in civilian sectors. The remants of capital in the form of Chinese billionaires live terrified lives for a good reason, & their assets are ultimately on-condition & used to sabotage them (by appropriating & investing in all-China development instead of letting them buy political power). This would not have happened if China’s socialist revolution somehow just reverted to feudalism/early capitalism. Instead, maybe there would be a Brezhnev-like “maintenance era” of stagnation (that was a bit better than Khruschev but still bad, and did not correct the political damage done by the preceding one).
We would not see enormous developmental progress, very high civic engagement, low crime, & imcreasing arts-&-culture exports, & potential world-leader status, nor would we see favourable trade terms with other countries & “pay when you can” loans to those ravaged by colonialism, nor would we see unwillingness to engage in shared pillage exploits (ie. military alliances formed to harass poor nations). All of the above happening at the same time is an unfathomable contradiction in a capitalist country.
The evidence just does not show that the CPC are doing such a bad job cultivating socialism that an ultra-left civil war is necessary to course-correct for Deng. Moreover, another civil war in China is implicitly an endorsement of the imperial order, and I hope you aren’t seriously suggesting the neocolonial capitalist slaver bloc ought to go on unopposed.
Sorry I’m going to take a swing here and say that you’re a white EuroAmerican just completely uninformed to the reality of the Chinese people, Chinese law and Chinese sentiments. You are completely detached from the reality of China. And honestly even from this short comment it doesn’t appear you have a strong grasp of Marxist theory either.
There’s so much wrong with your comment it’s hard to know where to begin, but definitely read theory.
“We need to follow a Marxist-Leninist model pronto if we want to remain a functioning society, because capitalism isn’t working anymore.”
Aaah, the over-simplification of highly complicated changes
The ‘high complicated’ change being liberals midwifing fascism.
You could start by identifying the successful Marxist-Leninist country. I don’t think there is one.
Cuba, China, Vietnam, and DPRK are all successful Marxist-Leninist countries.
DPRK? 🤨
The country that survived an American genocide and now is thriving? Yes.
Thriving? 🤨
Cuba… If being able to withstand an embargo by the most powerful nation on Earth for decades and still managing to outperform them on healthcare, education and life expectancy is not “successful”, I don’t know what is…
lol, china is biggest world economy. the soviet took a famine ridden feudal country and turned it into a global power. meanwhile kkkanadians are clapping literal nazis in parliament. keep coping while your burger reich overlords annex your settler colony and you spend all of you wage on a 2m2 appartment.
i hope you enjoy becoming the 51st state because brainworms this extensive can only lead to annexation by the us empire.
china was already mentioned
I don’t think westerners would want to live in a country like China. If that’s the case, why don’t people just immigrate there?
But people are immigrating over there.
But due to the Soviet Union collapse event, there’s still huge skepticism on how well China is performing and how badly the US is performing right now, despite the fact that China is already ahead, widening the gap at an accelerating pace and with no end in sight.
We’re going to see a turnaround of events in speed, size and scale like we’ve never seen before.Comparing the economies of China and USA is not the same thing as comparing the quality of life for Chinese and US citizens. You are somewhat correct when you people are immigrating to China, the overwhelming majority going to China are expats. China makes it incredibly difficult to become a permanent resident.
I would say the attractiveness of living in a socialist or even communist country is based on a lack of understanding of what that actually means.
Because uprooting your life and moving to a different country is really hard to do as anybody with even a minimally functioning brain would understand?
“if your country is so bad why don’t you move” sorta vibes
but to answer your question, westerners have no idea what china actually is.
We completely agree on that. Westerners cannot conceptualize what China is really like.
