WSJ: The West Reckons With Beijing’s Neocommunism
(www.wsj.com)
They aint reckoning with shit lmao
The article is all kinds of hilarious. My fav was this bit a the end:
Beijing’s steady military buildup—combined with its expansionist territorial claims and increased efforts to form partnerships with countries such as Russia and Iran—has major implications for the U.S. defense budget. America must scale up its efforts to ensure primacy on land, at sea, in the air, in cyberspace and in outer space sufficiently to deter any rivals.
Apparently, US plans to take on the combined power of Russia, China, and Iran militarily. The sheer hubris of that is just astounding.
Read: "give moar moniez to our rulers and saviours: MIC, oil barons and banksters"
How the hell it's even "more tech based than Lenin's model"? Lenin was great advocate of technological progress and tried to build and draw to party every even semi eligible technical personnel he could find, he just had to work with completely backwards country where technical education was solely in the hands of bourgeoisie.
"Lenin's model" moved from semi-feudalism to spaceflight in 40 years, despite 3 huge destructive wars no less.
Lenin: "Communism = Soviet Power + Electrification of the Whole Country"
Western propaganda: "Lenin was against technology!"
I think they are silly enough to not realize that high tech 100 years ago is not what is high tech now. If you truly abandon materialism this does make sense.
This also reminds me of the popular 90's liberal mantra about "knowledge based economy" (used to justify deindustrialisation), as if the economy wasn't ALWAYS based on knowldge ever since people learned how to make fire and tools.
America must scale up its efforts to ensure primacy on land, at sea, in the air, in cyberspace and in outer space sufficiently to deter any rivals.
Yes, America's problem is definitely their paltry military spending. They must spend even more on the arms industry, that will fix all their problems. For freedom!
Also in outer space? Is America planning another Space Race? Despite their claims of victory, the last one really didn't go that well for them.
