Showboating Chinese Olympiads wouldn't know sportsmanship if they saw it, unlike strictly by the numbers American athletes with good fundamentals.

I'm just surprised that people are still trying to trot out the whole 'adrian zenz and american puppetmasters controlling all western media making it up' argument when its been torn to shreds before in the thread.

Love to tear arguments to shreds by ignoring any evidence/report I don't like and banning anyone that disagrees with me.

the argument: the objective trail of evidence that shows these stories almost entirely laundered through a single group that is indeed run by Zenz and his weird pervert friends to 'christianize' china and including such weird testimonies as 'I was held in a death camp but they let me leave to come do this interview with my passport and no handler or anything'.

The legal minimum in China is around 3-6 months.

In "hypercapitalist" Russia, the minimum is 4 months of full pay, but up to 18 months at half pay. There is also universal pre-k and an allowance for child care.

The US is in the middle ages.

Belarus is at 3 years

Suppose if a social democratic party in the West managed to nationalize the commanding heights of the economy like China, would it be possible at that point to legislate one's country to socialism? (This is basically the Bhaskar Sunkara model)

they have a materialist view of sex and gender. they don't like the subjective application of identities because its cartesian idealism ( i think therefore I am) but they have nothing against homosexuality or transgender people.

in any case, their position, whatever its merits stands in the way of a better stance imo: its ok not to have an opinion about everything and specifically marginalized minorities.


i don't have an opinion on them outside of they are human beings who deserve human dignity and I think before the CPGB(ML) lists their line on these minorities, could also adopt such a position

A mere reference to gender identity and idpol, without expressing an opinion, is enough to make many people incandescent with rage.

We have to ask ourselves why that is, because when I grew up some years ago, this wasn’t an issue affecting peoples’ minds. People didn’t talk about it; they didn’t debate it: it wasn’t an issue.

ironically this casts doubt on dialectics because it seems that in the singular case of being british race really does trump upbringing, ideology, education, class position, etc
