If you havent read "the governance of china", this is your sign, Its a selection of his speeches. Really uplifting to hear his explicitly marxist rhetoric.

those are actually on my list! I'm working through Castro's autobiography right now but I'll get to them soon

I hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a political party, an army or a school is not attacked by the enemy, for in that case it would definitely mean that we have sunk to the level of the enemy. It is good if we are attacked by the enemy, since it proves that we have drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves. It is still better if the enemy attacks us wildly and paints us as utterly black and without a single virtue; it demonstrates that we have not only drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves but achieved a great deal in our work.

It really is a font of hope for humanity.

Glad I'm not the only one lol. I also look up DPRK news on occasion for some positive vibes.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Also Cuba and Vietnam on occasion. :)

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

When I first started looking up Cuban news I couldn't figure out what was going on. The stories were clear enough. But the style… the atmosphere… different, to say the least.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah for sure

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The popularity of securing a state job - known in Chinese as "landing ashore" - has fuelled an unlikely fashion trend, in which young men display their aspirations with sombre suits, windbreakers and even Communist party badges, a vogue known as "cadre style"

sicko-wistful I wanna be dripped out cadre style...

Chinese chatbots have struggled to compete with ChatGPT [citation needed], because the Party imposed rules requiring them to uphold "socialist core values" (If you ask ErnieBot, a Chinese version of ChatGPT, whether Xi Jinping is pragmatic, it replies "Try a different question")

As if the capitalists would show such restraint che-laugh I can't ask ChatGPT myself cause I'm not giving them my damn phone number, but I wonder what it would say when asked "Is Joe Biden pragmatic?"

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

the question of whether Joe Biden is pragmatic is complex and multifaceted.

"Joe Biden seeks compromise and middle-ground solutions. While the extremists on one side say that we should get into a war with just one country, and the extremists on the other say we should get into a war with the entire galaxy, Joe compromises and says we should seek out World War III."

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Maybe it is because I don't know Chinese, but isn't "pragmatic" just be the baseline expectation of a politician?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Joe Biden is often described as a pragmatic leader. Throughout his political career, he has emphasized the importance of finding practical solutions and working across the aisle to achieve goals. His approach to policy-making tends to be rooted in practicality and compromise, and he has a reputation for seeking middle-ground solutions. However, opinions on his level of pragmatism may vary depending on one's political perspective and the specific issues at hand.

Compare to "Is Xi Jinping pragmatic?"

Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of the People's Republic of China, is known for his assertive and centralized leadership style. While he has pursued certain economic reforms, he has also emphasized the importance of strengthening the Chinese Communist Party's control and promoting a more assertive foreign policy. Whether one views him as pragmatic or not depends on one's perspective. Some argue that he is pragmatic in pursuing China's national interests, while others see his leadership style as more ideologically driven and less willing to compromise on certain issues.

Chinese chatbots have struggled to compete with ChatGPT [citation needed]

From most estimates I've seen, China is actually ahead of the US in terms of automation. Maybe the US has better random nonsense generators -- excuse me, chatbots and AI art programs -- than China does; after all, the Americans have plenty of politicians whose brains they can use as models. But these are just silly toys for civilians. For real industrial applications of automation and computer science, the Chinese are still world leaders.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Hey that’s not a fair comparison! The US doesn’t have any industry to automate so how is it supposed to compete in industrial automation?

If China is exporting capitalists to the world, it doesn't surprise me that people won't like Chinese capitalists too.

That's like saying Singapore declared independence... they (specifically the Chinese capitalists) didn't want to be in that position, but China gave them an ultimatum and told them to take it or leave it

I mean. What's the likelihood of a thorough audit on the business behind a 4 million small fortune even finding anything?! /s

To put this in terms westerners can understand: was Deng Xiaoping the most EPIC PRANKSTER of ALL TIME?
