An AI-generated blog post by a Chinese diaspora AI grifter wherein he compares the layoffs of middle managers (which were not because of AI) to the programme of eradicating sparrows in the Four Pests Campaign.

I’m so tired of having to correct this narrative every time I see it.

First of all, the Great Leap Forward (1958-1962) wasn’t a mistake or badly executed. It had a few hiccups but had overall tremendously improved the conditions of the Chinese.

Second of all, the hundred flowers, the suppression campaign, and the Great Leap Forward should be seen as one coherent application of the mass line.

They gathered opinions, filtered out the reactionary content, formed a coherent policy, and returned that back to the people.

Communism fucking works every time it has been applied and anyone who tells you otherwise is fucking lying.
