quote:

Engels said, "Motion itself is a contradiction." Lenin defined the law of the unity of opposites as "the recognition (discovery) of the contradictory, mutually exclusive, opposite tendencies in all phenomena and processes of nature (including mind and society)". Are these ideas correct? Yes, they are. The interdependence of the contradictory aspects present in all things and the struggle between these aspects determine the life of all things and push their development forward. There is nothing that does not contain contradiction; without contradiction nothing would exist.

Is there a good book on modern Central Asia? I read S.A. Smith's one-volume on the Russian revolution a year or two ago and he paid attention to Central Asia, Islam, and the revolution and it was fascinating. I realized my understanding is really limited to European Russia.

I've suggested Adeeb Khalid before. He's not particularly left leaning but he's not a cold warrior either, which is rare in Sovietology.

He's the leading historian of Central Asia today imo, and he just brought out a new complete history of Central Asia. I haven't read it yet but I hear it's good.

you do realise corruption exists even in supposedly-authoritarian states, right? especially in areas that are "linchpins", cause that's where the money is

(also, executions didn't really help in stopping the endemic corruption in the late-ish ussr. of course, arguably, modern china is much less dysfunctional than the late ussr)

I'm currently reading "How China Escaped Shock Therapy" by Isabella M. Weber and it's so chock-full of new stuff for me to learn and dig in that if I tried to report about it I'd end up just posting whole chapters of the book, but here's something that's small and digestible:

I shouldn't be surprised that the Americans hosed over Chiang Kai-Shek, but it's still at least a little shocking that it was so intellectually bankrupt of them. Shades of Paul Bremer in Baghdad

even though it happened ~82 BC the Salt and Iron Debate transcript/summary is a great read and still relevant

All they want to do is make money, do you not remember IBM or Ford gleefully buddying up with Nazi Germany to get access to their markets? They don't care what the narrative is if the money's there, and worst case scenario they buy their way out of punishment.
