Wait, he does?
I LOVE and highly recommend Miniminuteman
I like to imagine that Stalin would have, as well
I thought it was the CIA that had JFK assassinated? I'm not necessarily overly doubting you, just wondering how you came to that conclusion.
Tara Reade, right?
I also don't trust Russia.
I'm planning something to get me to China, though.
This is always such a useless and thought-terminating cliche: While it looks (and arguably is) horrible that the Communist Party of China has or is affiliated with billionaires, the truth is that billionaires (at least not ones connected to state-owned enterprises) have almost no political power in the government as a whole.
Billionaires and the rich are tolerated for different reasons, but ultimate power rests with the CPC, which control the commanding heights of the economy, and almost always direct it in a pro-working class way.
Even Lenin argued that socialism is basically a more advanced version of state capitalism, except with the proceeds going towards average working people and society as a whole.
Comparing modern China to the USSR is almost apples to oranges. The USSR had very little time to build socialism, and had to brute force it.
According to Marx's original writings, he strongly argued AGAINST this. He argued that it would be best for a socialist society to slowly and steadily nationalize/collectivize workplaces and economic entities, as they maximized gains from the slow capitalist transition, because they outlived their usefulness, and centralization would be the next logical step, instead of random companies accumulating profit inefficiently.
I'm hoping to plan something to escape the U.S. before then
This is fucking awesome, but I can't be the only one who thinks the shape of this thing is... intriguing.
I would do literally anything to get to Chengdu, now. I am literally begging.
While I'm not Chinese, I've read that there have been instances, both modern and historical, of definite racism in China.
That all being said, while racism is always a horrible issue, I don't think China's issues of racism are NEARLY to the same extent or intensity as in the west.
While I'm sure that I'm generalizing, its truly remarkable how surprisingly multicultural that China is.
It seems like that Chinese people/citizens don't care where people come from (not in a malicious or arrogant way, I mean), they primarily care about who you are as a person and what your role in society is, which matters far more.
Also, I thought that China recognized roughly 57 different groups? But that might just be main ethnic groups, and I'm not doubting that there are 37 or more different minority groups, now that I think about it.

It seems like the shitlib's complaint isn't that the U.S. military is a fascist, neo-colonialist, imperialist army of mindless Stormtroopers, but that the violence isn't focused or financed enough.
