Said before that expats and the journalist class have a vision of China where communism just disappears like the morning mist and reveals what amounts to a quirky rustic tourist trap called China full of smiling servile natives that serves as an exotic playground for the bourgeois.SorePotato posted:Privatization and also genocide of millions of communists Also basically this, yes.

SorePotato posted:Privatization and also genocide of millions of communists I know this is true for most people but I'm trying to understand this from the point of view Naomi Klein and similar western leftists who I guess believe that privatisation and capitalism are not good and presumably then think that the ideal outcome for China is something other than becoming, like, post soviet Russia or Indonesia or South Korea. I guess just them having not really thought that far ahead is the most likely explanation

Naomi Klein is really good at offering up criticisms of capitalism, but can’t seem to ever do anything but throw up her arms and say “well whaddya gonna do?” because to suggest any alternative system (or sharp solutions) would remove the sheen (and book deals, and speaking engagements, and round table thought leader panels) of Acceptable Leftist for Liberals that she has.

It has parallels to people demanding Assad Must Go: who runs the Syrian government government afterwards? Who runs the bureaucracy and civil services? Who keeps the water running? Who keeps the power running? There's no "exit strategy", here. Even if you were to have the most charitable interpretation of "popular, decentralized" rule, such that it's a state of affairs where local/regional governments get to have more autonomy over themselves but is otherwise similar to how it is today, that doesn't actually address the problem of COVID policy specifically, because a contributing factor to the Xinjiang fire was the local government being overzealous in its pursuit of COVID-zero policies, even after already having been told by the central government not to do that. And on top of Hong Kong opening up to disastrous results being the result of it having that kind of autonomy as a SAR And on top of the original outbreak in Wuhan being the result of local government being timid in their response Nothing about it makes sense beyond raw anticommunism

If it must happen, China should become generic liberal democracy with strong state control of capital so we can see western libs just become more openly racist as they no longer have the facade of Evil CCP to mask their anger at a foreign country eating their lunch. We could see the amped up Sinophobia that leads to stuff like "We can't play Tchaikovsky because Russia"

Though wasn't a co tributing factor in the fire being the street was so packed with cars its effected the ability of the firefighters to do their job, which I assume means run hoses amd get access to the fire hydrants which sounds like less a COVID zero problem and more of a alternate side of the street parking problem

See also how the US didn't actually stop treating Russia as an enemy after Russia stopped being communist. Would at least be lol to see Falun Gong and expats be treated as the enemy rather than brave refugees
