Don't you just hate it when some has to twist their arm at a 45 degree angle behind their back and then shoot themselves 9 times? Truly, not suspicious whatsoever.

Even Al Capone would give poor children free milk at soup kitchens (though he would acquire that milk from vendors through intimidation and threats)

My standards are getting lower for which neoliberals deserve to be put in the ground during/after the revolution.

The Hong Kong police aren't Chinese mainland police or secret agents, but they showed saintly levels of restraint against the Hong Kong terrorist-backed nutjobs.

cayde6ml ,

Unfortunately yes. I still remember liking the movie when it came out, but now I see it as racist propaganda.

cayde6ml ,

You mean liberates a neighboring country after being bombed for 8 years, and whose economy continues to improve.

There is actually a Chinese version of Batman in one of DC's universes named Wang Baixi. He's an agent of the CPC, lives in Shanghai, and he's an inventor that designed and updated gadgets/technology for the Chinese equivalent of the Justice League.

I fucking love the idea of there eventually being an ongoing solo series where Wang Baixi is the CEO of a tech-corporation akin to Huawei, Qualcomm, Tencent, YMTC.

By day, he is a tech-CEO and member of the Politburo. He could be portrayed as kind of like Engels in that he has alot of guilt over having a net worth in the billions, but he actually cares about his employees' mental, physical, emotional and psychological health, is very generous with pay and working hours and holidays, and actually takes his employee's decisions and opinions into consideration, and he is well aware that he owes everything to the CPC, and actually gives a shit about his people and the country.

And by night, as the Chinese equivalent of Batman and secret agent of the CPC, he patrols the streets and rooftops looking for random violent crimes to stop, like sexual assault, muggings, smuggling, organized crime, violent drug dealers and pimps, and also looking for, hunting down and arresting foreign imperialist agents, rooting out traitors of the Chinese government, and taking down corrupt capitalists, CEO's and corrupt CPC bosses that misuse their powers.

I was a huge fan of Batman Begins and the Dark Knight, but the Dark Knight Rises leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. I haven't watched any of the movies in like a decade-ish though, I don't think.

In my mind, Batman is an archetypical anti-hero. He is a capitalist and definitely not a communist revolutionary, but I always view Batman as an Engels type character.

As a capitalist and in multiple incarnations, he's usually portrayed as caring about his employees and paying them very well, he donates billions to charitable causes (This isn't to say that donating money fixes societal problems, or that a society shouldn't have to rely on donations from a billionaire with a conscience to barely put a band-aid on society's problems, but I digress) that provide housing and decrease the costs of food and rent of Gotham by proxy, and he is just as likely to go after corrupt and criminal CEO's and politicians and judges as he is to go after violent criminals, and he also provides funding to mental healthcare services and institutions and will often be against the death-penalty and he generally wants to help people more than beat the shit out of them.

Just like Spider-Man, I don't think Batman should necessarily be pro-cop, since they are part of the capitalist system, and they treat him as a common criminal rather than a savior or at least a helper.

Yeah, China is a very safe country in the grand scheme of things, and is well on it's way to almost eliminating crime in general, especially violent crime. But a government can't be everywhere at once, even in best case scenarios. There's always someone being hurt somewhere. And I imagine the random violent crimes would be something he finds occasionally, and the focus of his comic series would be about long-term buildup and conspiracy storylines.

cayde6ml ,

That's an insult to cats. At least cats aren't racist imperialists

cayde6ml ,

I would advise you to not write the show off, compilations like that can be extremely misleading, the show is surprisingly deep and mature.

cayde6ml ,

I disagree with the quality dropping off significantly, the most important people are still working on the show, unfortunately Roiland isn't prison.

cayde6ml ,

I love it.

cayde6ml ,

I know exactly what you're referring to, and I think it's sad that it seems all Rick and Morty fans have to distance ourselves from that copypasta or risk as being associated as "those type" of fans.

cayde6ml ,

That Giant Incest Baby really shouldn't have happened.

cayde6ml ,

I thought the Cowboy Bebop Netflix adaption was kinda good? From what I read, I mean.

cayde6ml ,

I think what the paragraph means is that China had developed productive forces enough to where if absolutely necessary, it could feed all of it's people without importing any food. But that is more so in theory than something feasible or desired at the time. It would most likely mean that China would have to take resources, capital and investment away from industrialization and shift it over to agriculture, which would slow down industrialization and would leave people unhappy and wanting more food variety, and leaving money on the table by not engaging in trade to further advance productive forces.

And producing food only for internal consumption can become a weakness and very vulnerable to food and supply chain disruptions, with no resources or money to trade to fall back on.

I'm not sure if any country is completely or truly self-sufficient when it comes to food, but China is one of the few with plans in place long term to achieve this possibility if needed.

cayde6ml ,

"But at what cost?!"

cayde6ml ,

How is it unrealistic? Many places in China and DPRK take influence from it.

cayde6ml ,

I don't see the problem with trees on the side of skyscrapers. I could see multiple reasons for this, but that would require more idealization.

cayde6ml ,

I fucking love it.

cayde6ml ,

Don't place in China and the DPRK take influence from solarpunk? I agree that there is no small-scale isolated path to socialism, but I think it's a wonderful post-revolution concept.

cayde6ml ,

It might seem unnecessary, but I can see the benefits to it in socialist society. Some extra food for a relatively small amount of effort, hardened resiliency in case of supply issues.

cayde6ml ,

I meant viewing solarpunk more as an aspect of socialism for fun or just in case of supply chain issues, people can feed themselves.

I don't have anything on hand, just pictures of hydroponics in China and DPRK

cayde6ml ,

Fair

cayde6ml ,

Alot of the architecture and city planning, when I have the energy to look.

cayde6ml ,

I meant more like the vines and hydroponics.

cayde6ml ,

Agreed, he's basically a genocidal colonial footsoldier responsible for the deaths of billions.

cayde6ml OP ,

Stfu bootlicker.

cayde6ml OP ,

I dislike your racism but I give you a modicrum of respect for having a shred of decency to not tolerate transphobia. Edit: Sorry, I thought you were talking to me, not parapol. I thought you were on his side.

cayde6ml OP ,

A death threat from a neoliberal, how unsurprising. Scratch a neoliberal, and a fascist bleeds.

I can now respond in return that I look forward to when the racist crakkker ass neoliberal western imperial order collapses under the weight of it's fascist projecting contradictions, and that you enjoy being game-overed by a combination of white supremacist violence, war, disease, or suffering for 50 years as your country's air becomes even shittier, and your lungs black from all the smoke, pollution, toxins, while you beg your bosses for a day off work.

Meanwhile, the East and Global South will rise up in revolt and begin laying the groundwork for establishing socialism. China will enjoy vastly improved living standards and technological progress, and clean air and fresh food and water, as it becomes a luxury in the west. And Chinese people will embrace further deepening socialism and actual democracy rather than capitalist dog and pony shows. I hope your last goddamn breath is you blaming China for not bowing down to your capitalist delusions.

cayde6ml OP ,

Oh my bad, I apologize vehemently. I thought your first comment was calling me a fascist. I didn't see that you were responding to parapol. I feel like shit now. I thought you were on the neoliberal's side, I'm so sorry. I feel awkward now.

cayde6ml OP ,

Don't blame yourself, I feel horrible. Like I almost made you cry, and damn I feel so guilty. When I saw your comment, I thought you were accusing me of using neoliberalism to cloak racism.

cayde6ml ,

I understand your general sentiment, but I think calling Putin not a "bad guy" is overselling it. He's still a brutal dictator and a bourgeois scumbag, he just happens to be on the Global South's side for now. My support for him begins and ends at anti-imperialism. I'm not saying he's the devil incarnate, and he has done alot of good for Russia, but I can't not call him a useful necessary evil.

cayde6ml ,

I'm speaking more towards about how Putin views/uses the Communist Party as controlled opposition, but he also is aware that they are his likely successors if/when something were to happen to him.

Also how Putin simultaneously pays lip service to aspects of the USSR, and then turns around and praises White Army officers.

This might be a neoliberal-ish criticism, but the amount of wealth and power and control he and his oligarchs hold over all of Russia. That isn't to say that western capitalist countries don't have it worse in this aspect, of course they do. I know that Putin pretends to like aspects of socialism and that he isn't a marxist-leninist, but he is still a manipulative scumbag that seems to dangle the living standards and continual improvement over the common population while he is too tolerant of the oligarchs. Yes, Putin does have a fine leash on them, but he is still part of their class.

I agree that Russia seems to generally take care of it's people far better than the U.S. does, and even the United Nations admits that the semi-independent ethnic republics of Russia do have lots of autonomy and relative freedom.

I also agree that Trudeau, Biden, Macron are all dictators. I'm talking about how Putin has opposition killed.

Now, I'm not against Putin and the FSB assassinating targets out of a neoliberal misguided sense of morality, it's almost impossible to have a functioning security state without some equivalent of secret police. My criticism is that even though most of Putin's targets are neoliberal idealogues endangering the Russian state, I wouldn't be surprised if he uses it to suppress legitimate opposition.

Actions speak louder than words, but imo its disingenuous to say that the PSL failing to support RATWM is because of PSL disliking those lolbertarians.

I've spoken with Rainer about this, and while I don't agree or like with everything he says, his point was that RATWM would expand the core message out to a broader populance, and that he doesn't like associating with the Lolberts and likened this to the Bolsheviks working with reactionary trade unions and groups. Obviously not the same situation, but the general message is the same.

cayde6ml ,

You have good points in your final sentence. I was going to say that many of the audience at RATWM are probably led astray or misinformed by the establishment and not directly part of the capitalist oligarchical leaders, but now that I think about it, Tulsi Gabbard being there isn't a great sign. You're mostly right.
