-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

5 year old account resurrects just to post against China for not doing enough per their own unstated standards.
The Japanese Red Army is disbanded and its members dead or in prison, having accomplished very little organizationally or to build power. The PRC has prevented billions of deaths even just in its own borders - and still exists as a project in which to struggle. So should we be sayinh, "fuck The Japanese Red Army" based on these objectiveoutcomes? That seems unprincipled.
Stalking post history doesn't change what I said. The PRC with all its power has done fuck all is my point. The USSR did more for the world with a fraction of the economic power of China. Why should I care if China becomes powerful when all they do is care about themselves. Useless country.
Ah yes the roads, hospitals, ports, airports, schools, trains, manufacturing facilities, and green energy initiatives done in dozens of global south countries has only helped themselves. I guess Africans can't use roads or something, is that what you think? Only the Chinese get to use the railway in Kenya?
As of writing my comment you had 3 thinga in your posting history. Two from 5 years ago and one from today. Don't you think it's exaggerative to call it stalking to simply make note of that?
It means, most likely, that you registered many accounts ages ago and are using it as an alt. This does actually cast your comment in a particular light.
I believe your point, your thesis, which you led with, is, "fuck China". And for, as I already noted, not doing enough. Your rehashing here is pointless. If you want to die on the hill of it doing, "fuck all" then that is certainly a choice.
The USSR did many great things. It also collapsed and took scores of socialist countries with it. It was also Zionist and integral to the creation of this settler-colonial genocidal project. As scientific socialists we must acknowledge not just what factors favor revolution and that we can impact, but what factors destabilize a state after the early stages. Much of the collapse of the USSR was due to failed internal struggles and organization, with Kruschev's nonsense as a canary in the coal mine.
I also would never accept the claim that the USSR had a fraction of China's economic power, it was massively productive and for more useful things. Much of China's productivity is for garbage products (not low-quality, just ridiculous products) for export to the US et al. But China is certainly powerful.
Did you miss the part where I mentioned billions of averted deaths? Do you see zero benefit to the continued existence of a socialist project governing a state eith 1.4 billion people? And China does have a very conservative internationalism that nevertheless benefits the global south.
Objectively wrong.
