dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

If the international bourgeoisie wanted to or could decouple themselves from China, they would have done so many years ago.

Why? Why do you think they would do that when they're making hundreds of billions from access to 1.6million proles worth of production? No. Absolutely not. They will not do such a thing while they have market access and capital growth. Only upon having that access taken away do the numbers on paper then shift for the people who are completely and totally driven by the hard numbers.

The question isn’t what could China have done following the cultural revolution but what it should be doing now.

Yes and the point I am generally making is that it is pre-emptive to switch to a socialist mode of production before securing the resources that you need to sustain that mode of production.

China IS doing that, with their current focus on new forms of energy they aim to eliminate their need to import oil, which they import 70% of their needs. They are doing this through solar mega projects and Thorium, which also eliminates their reliance on uranium imports.

Upon achieving this security, the material requirements for the socialist mode of production open up.

All of this is ahead of target for 2035, looking like it will be achieved by 2032.
