Slavvy posted:What do you do with these people, seriously? I'm just going to get probed, aren't I. When they immediately start name calling "tankie" and don't actually engage with arguments nor provide anything substantial (lol just linking a Wikipedia article and nothing else) you've already established that there's no point engaging there. The auspol thread is equally bad. Just know that these people are mostly online wankers that will immediately cower and support fascism when the US starts poo poo. Focus your energy on studying theory, analyzing history and practicing revolutionary activities. Get out there and meet your fellow "tankies" they're far more attractive than those forum posters. Online libs don't understand dialectics or contradiction.

Just posting itt to say I'm very glad d&d is so stupid they'll actually suggest people read this one instead of their own. The last few pages here have been really enlightening vs whatever the gently caress is going on over there. It's like seeing society through a class lense for the first time again.

The China watchers are upset that the CCP: 1. Refused mRNA vaccines and spread anti mRNA propaganda so people didn't get vaccinated 2. Allowed traditional medicine to be used so people didn't get vaccinated 3. Didn't use their authority to force vaccination 4. Didn't make their healthcare system better What was the point of welding people into their apartments and allowing entire buildings starve, if they were going to do nothing else and then open 'er up?

There's a 'listen to renters' open mic thing coming up in my town, because lol housing crisis is across the globe. Does anyone know of any good speeches or longer quotes from any M/ML/MLM comrades, on landlords/rent seeking, that I might be able to read aloud and get folks attending nodding or cheering along for before I loudly attribute it?

Having a big "friend" which is also a totalitarian dictatorship would not bode well for Australia's long-term future. But you obviously aren't going to agree with that line of thinking if you also believe America is only marginally better than China. I think it’s also useful to not just think about this just in terms of US/China but also the ASEAN countries, India, Japan, Korea etc. Australia isn’t the only country having to balance engagement between the two powers and I think it’s really instructive to see how China may have strategic partners of convenience (eg Russia) but no real other allies or friends globally. For better or for worse more major countries would rather court the US and act in alignment with the US and EU on security issues then with China. For all it’s problems the US still has a leadership role on human rights and solving global problems in a way that China doesn’t. We need major action on climate for example which the EU/US need to lead partially because their aid budgets will be critical for transitioning the developing world away from carbon. China is also about to have a massive demographic challenge over the next few decades with a rapidly ageing workforce and far less ability to use highly skilled immigration to shore up its talent deficits. It’s on a clock in a way most Western countries aren’t. Some people are paranoid this means China may think it has a window that is closing to take Taiwan, especially as Taiwan has been lagging in modernising/keeping pace with China’s capability growth, which could prompt action soon. A lot of people disagree. I don’t know. But I do wish there was more focus in the media on our regional ties, and if we did it would more likely put us in the US camp (vs China, as most countries in Asia have much more severe concerns about their regional ambitions).

The difference is that only one of these countries' governments will permit you to publish a book, a newspaper article or even a Twitter post about its historical and ongoing atrocities.

Yeah the produce in a regular chain supermarket in Australia will blow minds. Let alone going to the butcher or green grocer or fishmonger in the shopping center just next to the Woolworths/Coles.

yellowcar posted:does australia have a large community of lost cause south vietnamese exiles like we do here in north america? secondly, are they are insane trumpers like ours? lollll I live in a large Vietnamese area and during a recent state election there were a ton of signs for the DLP (gay conversion torture good, trans people bad, abortions bad, climate change not real religious party) in the downtown shop and restaurant windows. There was a massive swing from the socdem incumbent (but retained). The two biggest swings were to the aforementioned religious cunts and the trots. The DLP candidate was vietnamese.

In California you are exempt from property taxes if the tiny house can be moved on its own wheels, so thats one incentive for it. So glad I didn't go down that path.

I was always told Japanese workers often work really hard, long hours. Then later the line changed to "well actually they just pretend to work but really they just sit there doing nothing for 12 hours" which seems maybe a bit racist, like a justification for the US killing their economy. What's the actual lowdown? Mix of? Leans one way or the other?

Telluric Whistler posted:Working on global projects the Chinese part of the team would get frustrated with the Americans always wanting to talk endlessly, the Americans would get frustrated at the Chinese team being inflexible (usually it was because the Americans didn't present a good case for making any changes despite talking so much) -- the hours worked seemed to be pretty similar between the two though Jesus christ YES the American PMC like to talk. And yeah it's the literal opposite of democratic centralism with them; They'll just bring the same poo poo up over and over despite the rest of the team not agreeing then talk about it in instant messaging after the meeting to undermine you

R. Mute posted:this is one of my favourite anarchist bits. pick a local action, declare it worker self organisation and use it as a cudgel against the state and a victory for anarchism. is it a viable alternative to whatever policies the state enacted? no. does it scale whatsoever? no. will it be used to avoid thinking about what a large scale solution to these problems would be? yes, absolutely. Anarchists are idealists. They're just slightly left of trad libs.
