    This image is almost 3 years old already lmao.

    If any libs want to learn how tankies see the future you might want to read about the past for once. Pop history doesn’t count.

      That’s the kicker, Leftists are correct far more often than liberals yet libs never put 2 and 2 together.

        It’s late stage capitalism, bro, revolution is just around the corner, bro.

        Repeat for 150 years.

          Revolution has already come in many countries, and the US Empire is on its way out. Not sure what your point is, this is correct.

                  That isn’t really a point, could you explain what you meant, rather than sling pejoratives?

                How is China not capitalist? The government keeps it’s capitalist leashed, but they are the driving force are they not?

                I’m also not sure how you’d not see them as an empire? It’s a big ole place with a lot of folk.

                  You pretty much said it. The CPC holds all the political power in China, they dictate how to organize society, unlike in the west where capitalists hold all the political power and thus dictate how to organize society.

                  The only thing you could argue are the results of the CPC leadership, and these are crystal clear after you visit China.

                  The driving force in the PRC is the public sector. An example I like to use is the rubber ball factory vs the rubber factory, the one who controls the rubber factory has power over the rubber ball factory. In the PRC, heavy industry and large firms are almost entirely under state control, the private sector is more for smaller firms and secondary industries.

                  As for being an Empire, Imperialism isn’t judged by size, but by relations with international countries.

        Only if you ignore all the obvious facts that make them wrong. For example two of the “allies” pictured here were never allies.
