the US has always tried to form "alliances" between blocs of nations when it feels like it needs to project an image of a multi-lateral anticommunist coalition (SEATO being another noteworthy example), rather than the reality of either the US acting unilaterally, or the US pushing these smaller countries as client states

this is especially funny in the context of Asia, where the countries in these various permutations of treaties and alliances and pacts have a certain tendency to loath cooperation with each other because of past histories (example: Japan's relationship to everyone else) and/or competing interests (example: Vietnam, Malaysia, and Taiwan all have overlapping claims in the South China Sea), so if not for the US and their influence and coercion they probably wouldn't be in this kind of thing at all

a book that ive been reading that is somewhat relevant to the China discussion and probably a good resource for anyone hesitant on the matter, who wants to learn about how 'intellectuals' and other authoritative opinion makers in the west have always been in the service of coming up with explanations as to why non-westerners don't deserve to rule themselves is Contending Visions of the Middle East. its not a marxist text and (obviously) its focus is on the west's treatment of Islam, but it goes into covering the far east and how orientalism and the idea of the essentially innate essence of the west being 'liberty loving' and the not-west being 'authoritarians and their servile peoples' started off as greek chauvinism that had little basis in reality and then was transmogrified thru the ages into the theory of modernization in the Cold War, which said that the only way to ensure that the "third world" could "modernize" is to be loyal pawns of the United States and never threaten its national security interests and capital.

I'm only partway thru it and its probably repeating themes from Said's book on orientalism but its nice for getting a sense of how utterly skewed the perspective on the east has been and how "human interest" has always been a mask for imperialist interventions. Also, tons of mind boggling hypocrisy (theorists waxing about how "traditional" societies hate free thought and liberty, when writing about post-coup, pre-revolution Iran) and how academia let itself be used as a tool to justify US agendas.

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

there was a letter to the editor by a Green parliamentary hopeful the other day which went something like 'sure, the US has never behaved according to ethical principles in the past, but how can we know that they're not sincere about it this time you aggro commies?' and i genuinely did a little hysterical giggle because the dude was totally serious

I know you want to be the next Taintrunner style whacko but there's Judakel and Dumb Lowtax yet to have their meltdown where they reveal their crimes. Judakel definitely tortures animals.

you can save some time by throwing the bitch rear end posts they've made itt into a markov chain generator, it will make just as much sense as whatever twenty paragraph capitalized manifesto will be vomited up

the position exists, the justification does not. the second is not necessary and will be fabricated as needed

i really chilled about capitalism when i realized that while we causally speculate about the viability of humanity and life itself in the face of capitalism re: climate change, capitalism by definition will collapse before humanity and the biosphere. marx simply didnt have the information to determine the fatal contradiction in capital, the destruction of the reproductive capacity of its resource base.

it might not do so in time to save anyone or anything; certainly far more will die, and less justly, than in a revolution. material reality can be a real fucker that way.

yeah but we're not dead yet bitch

odds might be long and death is certain but that's how's always been since we crawled out of the filth. maybe it's just passing time until we fail but i'd rather do that than certainly fail
