quote:Qiu said he began improving his company’s work promoting the party about four to five years ago and now it has 12 party members out of its 170 employees. He encourages employees to use “Xue-Xi-Qiang-Guo,” or “Study Xi to Strengthen the Country,” an app that promotes President Xi’s ruling doctrines, he said.

people make snide jokes about xi jinping thought or whatever but this is how you reverse the cultural shifts that have led to that upswing in materialism (the bad kind) everyone mentions when they complain about china. in the absence of a revolutionary situation, like, say, decades after a successful revolution, you have to maintain the ideology if you want the next generations to believe in the broader project.

if you've seen stuff that's happening in china and gone "hmph, it'd be nice if the communist party did actual communism like they say they will," well: this is how.

I mean if we grant that "tax breaks for doing A Thing" are a way of encouraging behavior, "tax breaks for imbibing ideology" doesn't really seem like a ridiculous notion on its face

The author is still not sure what's going on inside China's opaque economy, but she explained the US's global imperial system very well. Better than a lot of Latin American books I read.

They aren’t endorsing it, they’re just presenting a dry and analytical view of the world (as they see it) without any blinders on. it comes across as condemning the entire american imperial project as hollow and cynically motivated to me.

The Russians actually have a long history of collaboration with various Islamic groups, you kind of need to have good diplomacy with Islam when you're trying to take over all of central Asia. Also, look at where Tartarstan is on the map. Yeah, they're Muslim but they're completely enveloped by Russia. Independence isn't really an option for them, so collaboration with the ethnic Russians is the outcome.

The second paragraph says, "iww is not political", a position that nobody actually believes and also the reason why it is mostly dead, because it doesn't have any loving aspirations anymore I guess the better wording is, "iww back when it was relevant"

bob dobbs is dead posted:The second paragraph says, "iww is not political", a position that nobody actually believes and also the reason why it is mostly dead, because it doesn't have any loving aspirations anymore That article was written in 1922 when the iww was near the zenith of it's power and influence The iww has always disavowed "politics" meaning forming a political party. It's the core of what separated them from other unions and the socialist party. Wobblies have never claimed to be apolitical. Syndicalism literally just means trade unionism. That's the direct translation from French where the term was coined.The connotations of it being an alternative to communism only emerged after the Russian revolution. Wherein the democratic centralists created the word "anarcho-syndicalist" as a derogatory for the worker's opposition. You don't understand what your talking about so quit pretending you do

china's also not bulldozing mosques, that viral post and subsequent guardian article were about the destruction of a gatehouse built in 2014, not the actual prayer hall.

how do we even know that the Chinese government, let along Xi was responsible for this as recent tragic events in Notre Dame Paris (General Secretary Xi has already sent condolences) show, religious buildings which are very old are fire hazardous, it's entirely possible that a bad maintenance engineer accidentally started electric fire resulting in building burning down. But now western propaganda are blaming it on Communist party.

Grapplejack posted:You're referring to this yeah. bellingcat of all places investigated and found this out Are Historic Mosques in Xinjiang Being Destroyed? quote:It is therefore apparent that there has been a change between March 19 and 20, focused on the gatehouse. In the slider below comparing the two dates, we can see that the building immediately to the south of the gatehouse has also been completely removed, although the larger rectangular building to the south, which we believe to be the prayer hall, appears to be intact. the evidence for the other mosque being destroyed is dicey, and there was a weibo post someone found of a person who visited late last year. so it's a dubious claim at best but major papers still ran with it. the guy isn't cia but it speaks to the lack of vetting from media and experts that some law student can post satellite photos with very little attribution or evidence to back up his claims and become a superstar practically overnight. see also: moses, brown.

https://twitter.com/PeoplesWorld/status/1118255478361022464 indeed, the government has invited the European Union to send human rights inspection teams to Xinjiang, although these invitations have been declined these same voices had precious little to say about Spain’s aggressive crackdown on the Catalan independence movement last year, other than to reiterate the necessity of a “united Spain.” The West’s interest in the Uighurs is a lot less about altruism and a lot more about its economic and political rivalry with China. Xinjiang province is rich in natural resources. Over 40% of its territory is suitable for agriculture and forestry, it contains some of China’s largest mineral deposits, its coal reserves account for nearly 40% of the national total, and it contains around 25% of China’s petroleum and natural gas. Economically, Xinjiang is key to China’s development, and this means that it is also key to Western imperialism. members of the World Uighur Congress (WUC) visited Ottawa to lobby the Canadian government to impose sanctions and coordinate an international campaign to pressure the Chinese government. In the last month, the WUC made similar visits to New Zealand, Italian, and European Union officials. The WUC is based in Germany and receives annual funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) Added up—a million prisoners among a population of about 10 million, restrictions on growing beards or abstaining from tobacco and alcohol, systematic live organ harvesting—it starts to sound like the stuff of cheap Cold War movies. The purpose of this unchecked yet widely circulated narrative is to whip up a frenzy of moral outrage that can justify various forms of foreign interference in China’s sovereign affairs.
