I saw stalin and trotsky in the closet making revolutions and I saw one of the revolutions and the revolution looked at me.
(but i think trotsky was too joyless for that)

|No.}From an outsider's perspective, I don't consider the current China socialist because of the fact that private property and many other capitalist elements still exist within it, but I do appreciate how much it has been able to develop over the past few decades, like poverty reduction and massive infrastructure projects that wouldn't be possible with typical liberal democracies.
For me flipping it on its head helped me understand this. In many capitalist states, especially in europe, the bourgeoisie had to make concessions to the proletariat in order to not have them flee to the USSR. Or use them as counterrevolutionary propaganda "see how good our workers have it, just as good as you plus bananas and modern cars, dont you want that as well??".
This is why a lot of european nations, even though they have never had a socialist mode of production, have rather good worker rights, comparatively good healthcare (compared with other capitalist nations e.g. USA), access to kindergardens, rent assistance programs etc. There even are housing cooperatives here in Germany, these are socialist policies under capitalism! This was the ruling class making concessions out of necessity in order to keep their position and pacify the workers. And it worked really really well, to this day workers in Germany for instance think that this is just how their country is because their system works better than the others and will defend it. But the main means of production remain firmly in the hands of the bourgeoisie and no one will claim that these nations are anything but capitalist. They can at any point start strangling the working class and indeed we are currently moving in this direction.
Now in China the dominant class is the proletariat, but for various reasons that others can explain better they still need a bourgeoisie. Stuff like pacifying their bourgeoisie so they don't revolt, or flee or destroy the MoP they possess. Or allowing for more consumer goods and having a free market under state supervision rather than a black market working illegally. However the main modes of production (logistics network for instance) remain under the control of the worker controlled state and therefore the proletariat. That is, at any point the proletariat can start strangling the owning class and indeed we can also see a movement in this direction, for instance mandating worker councils and harsh sentences for billionaires and corrupt officials when they start to work against the common interest.
Internet searching is fucked, anything leftist is buried. Does anyone have good links for german audiobooks? Especially looking for "Arbeitslohn und Kapital" thxxx 
but this naked display of distilled arrogance in a generous bedding of ignorance combined with the heady almost overpowering aroma of smugness is a perfect example of what makes genocideman engineering so special.

I finally got around to making my own book. Its for my wife to introduce her to ML.
It looks really ~~janky~~ rustic and I hope it holds together well but we'll see I guess. Unfortunately I was careless with the glue in when sticking the text block to the cover and so it looks really dirty.
I typeset it myself in LaTeX then printed it on regular A4 copy paper, which unfortunately has the wrong grain direction since I want to fold it but finding proper paper is impossible. I'm going to buy a huge roll of paper and cut it myself next time probably since its rather cheap actually, like 20€ for a roll of 0.61x50m A1 paper.
Bound it with the cheapest linen thread, waxed with paraffin because I still dont know of a good beeswax alternative, glued the spine with regular white craft glue. The tapes are really thin linen gauze. I got the boards from the back of notebooks and glued it all together with corn starch. I think this whole book of 300 pages = 75 sheets cost less than a euro since its basically paper, toner, some thread, some gauze and a few grams of corn starch. Oh and the wrapping is some brown packing paper.
I'm hoping to make a couple books like this so I get a library going but I dont know if I'll bind it on board again or just glue it on some carton. It's a lot more effort to glue it on board and they're still warped despite all my efforts.
I'm thinking of printing the covers on 120gsm cardboard and gluing them together over the spine basically thread the linen gauze through the back cover and glue it on, then glue the front cover so the tapes are sealed. then I could just tip the textblock on the covers and it would cause that much warp. Dunno yet though. First I gotta typeset "Imperialsm, the highest stage of capitalism", which is next on the list.
