Chinese international student in my class was telling me about how his evangelical dad in Beijing believes that Trump was chosen by god to win the election, but that this victory is part of a larger divine plan to destroy the united states
@stalinslefthook@After__History Yes China. Then you should read more about what happened in China during the 20s. Revolution was on the table in 1927, but reheated menshevik ideas about 'stages' lead workers into disastrous class collaboration and the massacre of the party cadre

@stalinslefthook@After__History They adopted class collaboration and this lead to failure in 27, when 1927 should have been a second 1917. They tailed the bourgeoisie, did not take power when the opportunity arose, and lead workers into an avoidable defeat.
Yes Industrialisation should have begun in 23
@fertile_trotsky@stalinslefthook@After__History You're being silly. Extraction of surplus value from the peasantry via taxation and inequitable exchange would have maintained their consent better than the primitive accumulation that was eventually used. Further not waiting 10 years to start would have helped
@stalinslefthook@After__History What vast resources would have been required to tell the ccp NOT to ally themselves with their class enemy in the KMT? Why would beginning industrialisation half a decade earlier have hurt the overall industrialisation goals?
@stalinslefthook@After__History The left opposition platform was for intense industrialisation. It was in adopting aspects of this policy of industrialisation that got Stalin his reputation as an arch centrist
@corialias@HankHeil To be honest it's made me feel better about getting older. I may not be aging that gracefully, but at least I've not got this much of a complex about it
@Sanele_NS@caraksha103 It's so much easier to deal with. If you have information early you can anticipate problems then even if they can't be solved you can push them up. Then when the crisis does come no one is busy screaming, 'why wasn't I informed!' Makes the whole thing smoother, less stressful

@PaliNewsNetwork I, for one, will never begrudge β on the contrary, it warms every fiber of my soul β the scenes of Gaza's smiling children as their arrogant Jewish supremacist oppressors have, finally, been humbled. The stars above in heaven are looking kindly down. Glory, glory, hallelujah.
@thirdintl@gayest_tone@butleriano Israeli's 'right to exist' requires genocide and ethnic cleansing. Zionism in general does. Anyone who supports Zionism is complicit and should be treated accordingly. Regardless of if they are Jewish
