  • Highly recommend reading Domenico Losurdo - Class struggle for more on this.

    It gets into how there’s not just a single class struggle, i.e. working class versus bourgeoisie, but many different and related class struggles. Both Marx and Engels held this multivariate view of class struggle too, and it was only later that chauvinists, anti-feminists, and imperialists restricted its meaning to the workplace only.













  • Highly disagree with this.

    Even if you ignore the PRC’s primary materialist / world-historic acheivement over the last few decades (lifting more people out of poverty than any country in history), then you still have futuristic / sci-fi things like:

    ELECTRICITY MIX (PERCENTAGE)
    ============================================================
    2010:  [████████████████████████] 61% Coal  |  39% Clean
    2025:  [████████████████] 32% Coal           |  68% Clean
    2030:  [████████████] ~25% Coal (target)     |  75% Clean (target)
    ============================================================
    
    • Rapid development of fusion power.
    • Space missions like a planned moon landing possibly as soon as the 2030s, and planned mars landings for 2040s.

    These are star trek / bucky fuller level ideas.








  • For an even better analysis than you could ever get in a university class, I highly recommend reading Domenico Losurdo - Liberalism, a counter-history for a more detailed history of what liberalism is. Even from its very foundations and founding authors, it was white supremacist, pro-slavery, anti-worker, pro-colonialism, pro-workhouse and prison, etc.
