Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Obviously it's a process that is always brewing under capitalism but you know what I mean. Do you think we are close, like within 5 to 10 years close to a major declaration of war between the imperial core and the periphery or something of the sort? Would you argue it's already started?

I see Palestine liberating itself, I see solidarity with them along the people, I see the ripples that the Ukraine conflict has started, I see more and more revolutionary sentiment building. Could be an experience bias because now I'm more involved in real life so I see it more, but things just seem to be accelerating and I'm here for it. Much work needs to be done to capitalize and educate/funnel us all towards a progressive revolution and not a reactionary one, but I'm ready

As well as mistakes. One of the big criticisms I have is China being too soft on the bourgeoisie and how LGBT ppl were treated in some socialist countries.

For sure, and in general I think it's important to understand that whatever form socialism takes in any particular country is going to be rooted in its history, culture, social norms, and existing material conditions. Every socialist nation develops in its own way, so the things we need to look at are general transferable ideas that can be implemented in the local context.
