But they've done a decent job.

It's like how everyone blames the head coach when a team is bad. Maybe the players are bad.

there's been remarkable progress in many ways under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party, but i don't think this can legitimately be seen as a victory for socialism

from that perspective, it is more useful to see it as a disproof of the notion that liberalism is economically superior, and that commerce produces liberalism. of course, there are many such disproofs, but china is the most prominent and current

I'm about to finish all of my duties for the semester, which as usual gives me a feeling of emptiness. I do have to start writing at some point. One last exam to proctor/grade. I should have done something more productive today, but after a meeting in the morning, I basically hosed around itt while doing an Archer marathon.

By what standard is it bourgeois? Why do it continue to stand by and propagate Marxist-Leninism if it's bourgeois? And why don't we see an inflection towards liberal democracy as bourgeois are naturally inclined towards?

because the bourgeoisie are both extant and politically dominant. liberal democracy is not the only bourgeois ideology - monarchic absolutism is just as bourgeois, for instance, or in this case this weird oligarchical structure that they've got going. rhetorical maoism, such as it is, is pretty much a lip-service thing

a socialist society does not have massively wealthy tycoons extracting favours from the political government, this just does not happen. you may have enormously powerful bureaucrats with relatively high personal consumption, but you don't have Wealth Accumulation on the scale we see among many individuals in china today

The consensus among my friends is that women can get away with much more casual attires than men in most offices, being able to wear various tops and sweaters and somewhat smart-casual pants while men are stuck in suits and ties 5 days a week.
