incoming milei, with a poker face: “vender la infraestructura del estado a fondos buitres americanos es el acto mas soberano de la historia.”

knowable* woops

Would it not be more prudent to focus on denouncing specifically the most reactionary elements of these philosophies/religions while ignoring the more benign ones, at least for the time being? I acknowledge your point that everyone is able to familiarize themselves with and judge what elements of these things are detrimental and which are less so, but we should also be careful to not fall into the trap of cultural chauvinism.

Exactly, Mao fusing elements of confucianism with Marxism is a huge part of it’s success in China. Rejecting the impact of culture and traditions developed in any given society is not marxism but a vulgarization of marxism, and an efficient way of getting dismissed by the people.

“I want no part of the kind of Marxism which infers all phenomena and all changes in the ideological superstructure of society directly and blandly from its economic basis, for things are not as simple as all that.” — V. I. Lenin, 1920.

As a metaphor for things, dripping water is a demonstration of dialectical principles that use softness to overcome hardness, and the weak to control the strong. I believe in the invaluable spirit of that drop of water, which bravely goes into the breach with no thought of retreat. Those of us who are involved in economic development will inevitably encounter complications in our work. We can either rise to the challenge or flinch and run away. It all depends on whether we have the courage to adhere to philosophical materialism.

When dripping water takes aim at a rock, each droplet zeroes in on the same target and stays the course until its mission is complete. The drops of water fall day after day, year after year. This is the magic that enables dripping water to drill through rock! How can it be that our economic development work is any different? Just look at areas where the economy is lagging. Historical, environmental, and geographical factors have all played a part in holding back development. There are no shortcuts. Nothing can change overnight. Instead, we need to focus on the long haul by turning quantitative changes into qualitative changes.

Things as a process, sum of quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, struggle of opposites(soft overcomes hard), objective reality, the world and its laws are unknowable, rejection of mysticism, etc… It’s all covered. As i mentioned, it’s a simple text but it filled with these principles.

disagree, the essay is very simple but full of dialectical thinking and materialist philosophy.

its definitely weird, but i do think there is an abundance of ultras in the west who despise China more than the US itself. Also not every article has to cater the largest groups, articles like this can cater liberals and ultras alike.

Chomsky saying he has no clue what dialectics is and no intention of finding out is a masks off moment.

this just caters to ultras, who funnily don’t know what dialectical materialism is.

thanks, will check it out. seems like an upgrade to swappy.

For wayland, i use the combination of grim+slurp+swappy.

jajaja si, estos son los que dicen que los priistas son comunistas.

yup and depends in class too, i can’t imagine a traditional family in the proletariat during the industrial revolution in England for example.

The 20th century traditional middle class american family was only possible due to the concessions, segregation and imperialism.

yup and women+children were integrated to the workforce as the development of industry started taking off to increase the supply of labor-power and reduce wages. the structure of the family in a given society is the reflection of the development of the society!
