I didn't even notice that when I picked this screenshot. It's perfect.
"Hegemonic Imperialists" "Pathetic"
The more I look at the image the funnier it gets. I was really just going for the shitty tech deal Stellaris joke.
LOL
It gave great joy to see everyone find this post as funny as I did when I saw it blowing up while at the office. 
As soon as I saw the article I knew what I had to do.
..... Where's this from 
Stellaris
emerging country: a former colonial country that was last relevant 160 years ago and in the most optimistic predictions will maybe be a nice cultural vacation destination for people from actual emerging countries
As much as I want them to be irrelevant, french monetary fund is a lasting cancer on the world so I really don’t want to take the target off their backs
"Everything has been turned upside down. We are the emerging countries. They are the developed countries. So we have to do to them what they did to us. We have to impose joint ventures and technology transfer," argues Nicolas Dufourcq, CEO of the public investment bank Bpifrance, in an interview with AFP. (Translated)
It is honestly interesting to see neoliberalism being quietly thrown out the window, now that it's shown to really be quite awful for actually building up a country. Now western countries are trying to emulate strategies that China figured out decades ago, albeit without the right ideological foundation beneath it. Really reminds me of Deng's quote:
The superiority of the socialist system is demonstrated, in the final analysis, by faster and greater development of those forces than under the capitalist system.
And we are really beginning to see that here. Of course, actual socialist reforms will not come from bourgeois governments, and revolution is absolutely still needed, but Chinese socialism has already shattered the efficiency myth of neoliberalism, and I'm quite hopeful that eventually capitalism itself would be discredited.
We have to impose
These people really are just used to being bullies aren't they?
impose
ok man that's not how that works
but Chinese socialism has already shattered the efficiency myth of neoliberalism
The Soviets did in 30 years what it took amerika several hundred to do. "Neo" or not, communists proved superiority over Liberalism a century ago.
China dealing with annoying barbarians again
what is a frenchman but a wine-drinking western xiongnu, after all?
What kind of Socialist system is superior? 
Hmm yes, we'll do technology transfers without central planning or state control and while strictly enforcing IP laws. 🤡

Glass half full moment. Why yes I am pouring water out of my cup but that just means it's half full!
That whole saying is one of my pet peeves. The glass is half full if you're filling it and half empty if you're emptying it
Want France to emerge? Elect Melenchon problem solved.
