present-day socialist realism only reads as parody if you're projecting onto it that way. if you're mostly spending time with disaffected bourgeois aspirants then yeah, makes sense there's a reason rural villagers put up posters of mao zedong and now xi. it's not "kitsch" to them and dismissing it as such is ludicrously patronizing

The bolt tightening thing seems like something you'd really need to get into a rhythm for since he misses at least once on camera.

good socialist realism shows people struggling and overcoming stuff in a sorta "this is real people in real every day struggle" and i think it did well to evolve past "peasants in the field, iron workers in the mill, party workers instructing socialist thought" like showing athletes and scientists and other aspirational stuff   idk how you can unironically like a painting of some bureaucrats talking about how to better enforce VAT compliance or w/e edit:  like even this Zizek book cover fuckin rules b/c the romanticism and realism are blended just-so it makes lenin feel human and in a sense something aspirational, like we should all be thinkers and doers like lenin Antonymous has issued a correction as of 01:31 on Apr 22, 2022 |

R. Guyovich posted:please do let us know the unique insight you've gathered from the finest thread gbs has to offer on how it's all the product of coercion or whatever other brilliant thoughts are rattling around in that vessel of yours Oh no, not the GBS thread! As crazy as it sounds rguy, I don't spend every waking minute on SA. Which is maybe why I don't say things like "rattling around in that vessel of yours." Who talks like that? Otherwise I don't know what to tell you besides, no. Mao maybe, I've met a lot of older guys who are really all about Mao still but I have never met a person in rural China who looks at a picture of Xi Jinping (which, I dunno where you get the idea that it's usually the villagers themselves putting that stuff up.) a tear drops from their eye and they say "this... this is not kitsch, this is deadly serious to me." It's the stereotype that rural people "distrust the party," and there's some truth to it, but I think it's more often apathy than anything good or bad. If you want to talk about what's patronizing, your portrayal of rural people is patronizing. They're not medieval peasants, blindly devoted to Xi, who look at some crappy party painting and say "next year in Beijing!" Maybe it looks different if you're in your bubble in Shanghai or Beijing, and you watch CCTV all day, there are a lot of rural Chinese people so if you tried you can find a way to make any story. But that would be "ventriloquizing" or whatever, right?

pathetic mischaracterization of my position and a transparent attempt to go "actually it is you who is infantilizing" to feint away from your own projection not once did i say everyone in china or rural china is a monolithic group only capable of revering the party. they are varied and have plenty of their own opinions, positive and negative. but it's the negative that get amplified among corporate media and expats for very obvious reasons, and merely acknowledging the (rather large) cohort that is able to appreciate the improvements in their lives since '49 and give credit where it's due is treated as childishly as you're doing here. because there can't be any engagement with this idea on the merits, no sir! it must be treated as illegitimate on its face and browbeaten out of existence. how loving boring. i bring up gbs because it's easy shorthand for this attitude and the thought-terminating cliches that come with it. also we're on sa, dumbass! there's a specific reference pool one can draw on here that would be meaningless in other venues.
