Mirror's Edge is fucking awesome. I prefer the 2016 version's city than the 2008 game's, though

I think that China has more or less single-handedly saved the world, and just in-time.

Obviously, history is made by people and productive forces, and it's an hyperbole to say that China by itself saved the world. And nothing is locked in stone.

But China has done an extremely fucking excellent job over the past several decades, and managed to get it's hands and tentacles into every orifice of the capitalist's, to prevent socialism from being destroyed. China's policies have been lifting hundreds of millions of people, likely even billions, as the BRI advances, out of poverty, and fights back some of the worst excesses of capitalism.

And crucially, it's China's socialist model that is leading the charge in renewable energy/green technology, at massive goddamn scales, and is exporting and selling all of this to countries all over the world, especially the global south, allowing them to further develop and wrestle off the chains of capital.

While there is still a really long road ahead, and we shouldn't be complacent, I think/hope that the toughest part of this socialist/vs capitalist war is already over. It would take multiple acts of god to even slightly slow China down, and I doubt that even they would make a dent in China's heroic leadership and resolve.

And while climate change, pollution, environmental damage and ecocide will unfortunately likely remain a problem for a long time to come, China's initiatives have severely reduced the potential warming of the Earth, and just in the nick of time, to prevent the worst of the worst of the worst from happening.

If the CPC had waited even just a decade longer to begin it's process of revolutionizing green energy/renewable technology, A.I., microchips, I would be even more suicidal than I currently am.

It fucking horrifies me how easily China could have been successfully sabotaged/invaded/destroyed, and humanity likely being doomed, and global runaway climate change failing to be mitigated by China, and the green revolution/4th industrial revolution never kicking off or being delayed by just a few years, if Xi Jinping hadn't come into power and further mobilized the proletariat, or if Deng's gamble didn't pay off.

I hope to move with my family and I to China and be granted asylum/refugee status, and we're exploring our options.

But even if it doesn't pan out, I have an extremely small amount of solace, in the fact that China has likely already won and outmaneuvered the imperialists, before the war could turn hot. Socialism is the inescapable future.

It's a city in the desert, and it's pretty cool.

Ordoliberalism sounds like a society modeled after Ordos, China, which would kick-ass.

Or a everyone gets free Oreos.

I think that socialist countries, namely China, will lead the charge in fighting against PFAS buildup.

And while this isn't a substitute for complete removal, eating a cup of blackberries or 2 cups of blueberries every day will remove microplastics from your blood, or at least your brain.

I understand being skeptical about scientific breakthroughs, but as you said, if any country can do it, it's China.

People have called many things impossible, and China proved them wrong. The CPC is literally a technocracy.

When China employs people, it's called slavery and colonialism and "Han chauvinism" and Yoghurt genocide.

When China pays workers more than adequate wages and better working conditions, it's bribery and manipulation.

When China uses automation, it's "muh spooky 1984 totalitarian SE-SEE-MAI-PEE-PEE sneaky Chian-kneeze plans"

China/communism can't fucking win, with these crakkkers.

"But at what cost?!1"

What I remember vividly was that someone posted a thread about how communists should sleep with deployed Amerikkkan soldier's wives.

To be 100 percent fair, tap water in China has shown a concerning level of trace amounts of heavy metals (Not the Led Zeppelin kind, unfortunately) and is often slightly worse than in the U.S., in China its more understandable given that the nation is still a developing country containing over 16 percent of humanity and installing and cleaning new state of the art pipes and irrigating water and purifying minerals from water is extremely complex and tedious work, the Chinese government at least has greatly improved water treatment over the past few decades, continues to do so, has a very strong drive to provide for its people, and has spent billions of dollars introducing tap water to Tibet, which previously didn't have running water until recently.

Where as the U.S. if anything probably wants to get rid of tap water because "its communist!"

It drives me up the wall that cracker pieces of shit like that sit on their ass and whine about imaginary oppression in Shanghai. She's probably pissed that she can't scream at brown people about how much better the West is, and thinks her words are worth their weight in gold. If she thinks its so miserable, let me take her residency in Shanghai.

Self-defense is when you bomb Russia for 8 years

As excellent as this article is, I've had multiple conversations with Captaincool07, and I think comrades should know that he is unfortunately a Han supremacist. I hate using that term since it sounds like its giving credit to liberals, but he really is. He thinks the CPC is more of a nationalist party than a socialist one, and he thinks Vladimir Putin is a "radical centrist", and that China's success is more due to nationalism than socialism, and he once said that he thinks that China should return to controlling 25-40 percent of the entire world's economy, rather than a multipolar one.

He's also vehemently homophobic and thinks that Mao's socialism "went too far".
