Socialism has many definitions, but some socialists (e.g. richard wolff) will define capitalism and their vision of socialism in the following way: If you have a tiny group of people unilaterally telling everyone else what to do and how to distribute the revenue in a wage labor system, that's capitalism. If you have the workers democratically deciding what to do at their workplace, that's socialism. Some critics call china and soviet russia "state capitalism". China and Soviet Russia of course did have a large mix between private and public workplaces and it wasn't ever entirely one or the other. Edit: Also I don't mean to derail the thread. Just a lot of people will look at china and go wondering what does communism or socialism or capitalism even mean, and it's nice to have different perspectives. comedyblissoption has issued a correction as of 22:38 on Jul 23, 2018 |

quote:The taste in the soup comes from the broth; the fins themselves are almost tasteless.[5] Rather than for taste, the fins are used for their "snappy, gelatinous" texture,[5] which has been described as "chewy, sinewy, stringy." delicious e: quote:On 2 July 2012, the State Council of the People's Republic of China declared that shark fin soup can no longer be served at official banquets. This ban may take up to three years to take effect because of the social significance of the dish in Chinese culture.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Wasn't traditional Chinese medicine literally bullshitted into existence a few decades ago? Seems like we have a worldwide case of alt med bullshit going on everywhere. Yeah pretty much, that's why I say thanks Mao. "Chinese medicine" wasn't really anything other than an amalgamation of old wives tales etc. It's like basically what if you codified all the insane homeopathy, anti-vaxxer, raw milk, Jenny McCarthy types' views and called that "Traditional American Medicine." Then of course he kept on using Western medicine/doctors for himself because he knew full well "traditional Chinese medicine" is a load of horseshit. Anyway an article if you are interested: http://www.slate.com/articles/healt..._t_believe.html quote:Mao understood he needed to deal with criticisms like those of Lu Xun, Wang Qingren, and Wang Chong in order for Chinese medicine to be taken seriously, both domestically and internationally. His solution was a two-pronged approach. First, inconsistent texts and idiosyncratic practices had to be standardized. Textbooks were written that portrayed Chinese medicine as a theoretical and practical whole, and they were taught in newly founded academies of so-called “traditional Chinese medicine,” a term that first appeared in English, not Chinese. Needless to say, the academies were anything but traditional, striving valiantly to “scientify” the teachings of classics that often contradicted one another and themselves. Terms such as “holism” (zhengtiguan) and “preventative care” (yufangxing) were used to provide the new system with appealing foundational principles, principles that are now standard fare in arguments about the benefits of alternative medicine. goddamnit China

Y'all want some chicken horror look up "vent pecking" some time. Apparently captive chickens will frequently get it in their heads that it's a good idea to peck at the other chickens' throbbing cloacas right after an egg is laid, to the point where they sometimes peck their guts out through their rear end and then cannibalize them. Weirdly free-range chickens do it more than caged ones, so enjoy that mental image the next time you buy free-range grass-fed eggs at whole foods, yuppies
