What these "China no socialist" ultras don't have is lack of conceptual understanding of what socialism is. The way they think is brilliantly described by Gabriel Rockhill in his Understanding Siege Socialism appearance, where he actually quoted Mao on this topic. In essence - ultras only have sensory understanding of what socialism should be, but not conceptual - let alone doing any praxis. They don't have a good grasp of dialectical materialism, they see socialism as "being this and that and that" - a set of characteristics that are present (or absent) in a given society.
Conceptual understanding of socialism is the realization that socialism (and communism) is first and foremost a long, painful, tedious and prudently planned contradictory process of consciously building towards a certain type of socio-economic order. It concedes that building socialism, whatever form it initially takes, means that a new society is born OUT OF capitalism and under tremendous imperialist pressure. It does not, however, preclude using different tactics (when appropriate) which may seem to contradict the overall goal or strategy.
No one in their right mind would say the USSR was not socialist, even though the NEP certainly allowed a wide range of private economic activity. Oh, by the way - it never went away fully because for that you have to develop productive forces to a colossal degree. On the other hand, the USSR did have a powerful planned/socialized sector by the time Khrushchev was in power, yet his right deviations and revisionism were obvious to many.
Perhaps it reflects their weak theoretical grounding, perhaps something else (ahem fed ahem). BTW the "global proletariat must rise up" is a big red flag imo (no pun intended). Even fucking capitalists admit China is not capitalist...

Well, to be completely honest, you gotta have 45 gold medals in mental gymnastics to come up with anything remotely coherent given that the AFU is losing ever so faster.

This sounds like the ultimate state of despair for Elensky.
It is as though he thinks this:
- Gives him an instant article 5 card (in reality it's 99.999999999999% chance of NATO refusal, with NATO proving itself to be a paper tiger tool for the US imperialism and internal racketeering)
- Will appeal to the Pentagon guys: "Hey, MIC Lobby! Here's your chance to make another couple billion dollars! I'll provide the meat"
- Will be used as payment for the massive debt. "I gotta convince the West Ukraine is not going to default... Please would someone buy the Eurobonds! uwu"
- Will let him stay alive a bit longer

I'm not dismissing it, overall it's an okay source imo. But I remember them posting something akin to "Transgender nonsense" - and it was an incoherent mess of words. Yes, it was a long time ago, still, I thought some people might feel uneasy.
Also - in this exact post they linked "Transgender - The Inability To Distinguish Facts From Wishes". A bit sus, I suppose

Fair warning: this source has shown some reactionary tendencies, particularly of transphobic variety

very little doubt that the US was behind the terrorist attack
Almost zero doubt imo. Either they did it themselves or they gave the order to someone else and helped them along.

..Why is anti-China marxism so big?..
If you were a CIA operative, working out the details of, say, COINTELPRO, and knowing there is a substantial amount of Marxists and communist-leaning people out there... AND one of your goals was to demonize the AES states... Wouldn't you want to tear off a chunk of potential revolutionaries and defang them, turning them into armchair communists who never achieved anything and who always criticize everyone who did?
Bear in mind that a lot of those are in the West. Parenti spoke ostensibly about leftcoms/ultras (and left-anticommunism). This gets a few people off your mind, making the situation safer for the capitalist state machine at home.

They are of a different kind, they do have one thing in common - they stood/stand in the way of unobstructed Western imperialism.

Yes, this is unquestionably one of the factors (major ones) fueling Western hatred towards Putin. And Lukashenko. And Imran Khan. And Nicolas Maduro. And Jacobo Árbenz. And Khomeini. And... The list is huge, you get my point.

When they finally talked, “that phone call was quite difficult”... ...Part of it, Stoltenberg recalls, was the fear Zelenskyy would soon be “caught or killed”.

Archived version: https://archive.ph/4cNnW >The trip, which was viewed as a key opportunity by Ukrainian officials for Zelensky to sell the United States on how to support Ukraine going forward, failed to resonate in Washington. Biden held his stance on prohibiting U.S.-provided longer-range missiles to strike inside Russia and Zelensky found himself caught in a political crossfire as influential Republicans largely criticized or snubbed him. A meeting with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump — Zelensky’s first since the start of the war — came together hastily after Trump initially said he didn’t plan to meet. >Zelensky’s U.S. swing reinforced the sort of unsettling limbo Ukraine now finds itself in going forward — reliant on the United States as its main ally to arm it against Russia yet unsure how long that support will continue as attention on the war fades in its third year and with the new escalation in the Middle East.

So far, president Vladimir Putin and top-level Russian government figures have hinted at taking Kharkov, Odessa and 3 other regions. What do you think is going to be their way of solving the crisis in Ukraine, depending on the particular way the West and their fascist puppet in Kiev choose to go? Which way do you think is the most rational?
The puppet masters are going to be just fine. You won't. And your Nazi government is not going to cover your ass. Original post: https://nitter.net/ArthurM40330824/status/1732276517189902347
