Thank you for explaining! I wonder why that started? Like of all the communist countries calendars why follow Juche?

What does Juche 113 mean and why is it used here? Thanks

I hope so as well. Many western leftists act like China surpassing the US would be a bad thing. They aren't perfect but they've done a whole lot more for the common person than the US does.

Covid really made things hard. A lot of people lost money as companies and individuals couldn't pay their workers or lendees, making very few have savings they need. My immediate family's savings is my job.

But you do make a great point redtea, China is in a league of its own. Yes, life is still hard but the standard of living in most cities is so beyond that of the US. When I was getting insurance in the west and told them which cities in China I would be in, they thought it was a third world city... These are cities with over 2 million people, subway systems, multiple hospitals, and colleges... It is wild how big the different in social services is.

Fully agree with you on the US crumbling and Chinese standards continuing to fly light years beyond but the standard Chinese worker’s life does suck. I say this from my experience. I know very few from the 20s to 50s that’s current happy working. Most work for little pay and barely can afford things. Again, I agree with the larger picture but if you live in China I think the person to person picture is full of capitalistic like stress.

Thanks, I like this explanation a lot.

I agree that this helped China a lot but IMO modern Chinese working life is just as bad as in America. That is not to say that life has not been improved at an insane rate. I hope the low to middle class worker can be less of a slave soon. A lot of my family has zero retirement plan other than betting on government insurance which barely pays half of what one needs to live.

What is the fruit of his labor in this metaphor?

Thanks for explaining. Very hard to read, hope I can change that.

I will check out that website, thanks. I will try to find more.

Thanks for explaining. Hope I can change this because the text and background font are almost the same on my screen.

Thanks, this is also helpful. Any reading recommendations?

BTW why is your text background all brown and hard to read?

Thanks for linking this

This is very helpful. Thank you!
