p' sure that before mao died all the quality of life indicators like food security and life expectancy and infant mortality and literacy rates and not trying to invade vietnam were all solidly and steadily going up. so there doesn't seem to me that there was any real compelling peasant/proletariat interest to incentivize giving any economic or political power back to the rentiers

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:it shows when western leaders say that they should fling open the doors to accept millions of ukrainian refugees, no problem! and these are often the "good-minded" liberal people who say this. i think many people in the non-white countries in the world immediately recognize that for what it is. the U.S.-led liberal ideology professes a universality when it actually reflects a particular white supremacist conception of the world organized in a pyramid-shaped hierarchy and a neoliberal, capitalistic, privatized world order controlled by western elites and multinational corporations. A bit of an American take, this. We euros have a lot of practice in doing non-skin based racism. We can do racism against people you have to get to pronounce a single handful of words to find out. Bit of an aside.

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:I have nothing to add, but this is good stuff. Thanks. I had one question: Chinese capital is rising and expanding, why settle for managing a share of the American-run world market, (and they can be quite sure that share would be, in per capita terms, much closer to a third world level than a NATO / Japan junior partner level) and negotiating, from a position of weakness, for some percentage of the resulting profits, when they could be competing on an equal footing? I wouldn't argue it's anything intrinsically unique to Chinese capitalists, just they're nearly unique in being in a country that was strong enough, and in an advantageous enough international position (during the later parts of the cold war) to prevent American capitalists from effectively crushing them before they could become effective competitors. EDIT: to put it another way, these kind of interests would in a sense emerge "naturally" in a developing capitalist country, it's just that developing capitalist countries don't generally have any means to resist US imperialism strangling that development.

gradenko_2000 posted:"state capitalism" is a phrase invented by capitalists to deny the successes of Actually Existing Socialism. Pay that poo poo no mind. i posted something like this in the first thread but i've seen "state capitalism" used to mean two or even three different things: 1. capitalism so advanced as to be managed and not just safeguarded by a state, as lenin identified in germany or something in one tract in which he used the phrase 2. capitalism allowed to operate within but held in check by a socialist state, as lenin claimed was done in the NEP and many would claim china does now 3. if the state buys all your labor and sells you all your products then the state is just one big capitalist, so (socialist country) was/is capitalist actually

state capitalism strikes me as one of those ideas created by the liberal habit of conceptualizing things only as a list of bullet point features, and not their actual relations. the mechanics of how a socialist state operates the means of production seems largely secondary to the requirement that they must do whatever they are doing to uphold a dictatorship of the proletariat
