Europe has convinced itself that Russia and China are existential threats to the EU, largely due to the EU's status as vassals in the US Empire. The US Empire has been demoting the EU from vassal to periphery, though, so now they are caught between increasing tensions with the US Empire and their own historical hatred of Russia and China.
Starmer's visit to Beijing makes it seem fairly clear that the European bourgeoisie at least wishes to normalize more with the PRC.
unrelated: just finished “state and revolution.” liked it a lot, was able to let it sink in. thoughts on next?!
That's great! Consider checking out the Marxist-Leninist reading list I made! State and Rev is fantastic, but is that your first work of Marxist theory, or just the latest? What are you interested in?
it’s my latest. thanks for the link! i’ve knocked out most of the prominent marx / engel writing though i want to “finish” capital, and start “the 18th..”
i tend also to read anarchistic theory too. since at least right now that clicks in my brain more too. :)
thanks again!
No problem!
i concur. i feel like the op meme is just slop. not ai just .. bog standard slop.
Yep, we'll see soon how the tides change.
