How the hell it’s even “more tech based than Lenin’s model”? Lenin was great advocate of technological progress and tried to build and draw to party every even semi eligible technical personnel he could find, he just had to work with completely backwards country where technical education was solely in the hands of bourgeoisie.
“Lenin’s model” moved from semi-feudalism to spaceflight in 40 years, despite 3 huge destructive wars no less.
wth is neocommunism even
googling it keeps giving me eurocommunism
It’s like communism, but with more spoon bending (this joke is immediately going to date me)
There is no spoon.
They aint reckoning with shit lmao
The article is all kinds of hilarious. My fav was this bit a the end:
Beijing’s steady military buildup—combined with its expansionist territorial claims and increased efforts to form partnerships with countries such as Russia and Iran—has major implications for the U.S. defense budget. America must scale up its efforts to ensure primacy on land, at sea, in the air, in cyberspace and in outer space sufficiently to deter any rivals.
Apparently, US plans to take on the combined power of Russia, China, and Iran militarily. The sheer hubris of that is just astounding.

While Xi Jinping likely spends little time reading Marx’s “Grundrisse” or debating the labor theory of value with his comrades
this is such a stupid mischaracterization. xi literally has a doctorate in marxism from tsinghua university, he’s definitely read more of marx than the author of this bullshit. this whole thing reeks of having zero understanding of marxism or leninism.
I’m pretty sure that nobody with any actual understanding of Marxism or Leninism would be let anywhere close to writing articles in western media.
One time I was interviewed at a strike, they did not write that article
Same way we never hear about mass protests happening in western countries like France, while any protest in a place like China will get wall to wall coverage. Propaganda through selective reporting is very effective.
