Influential at an intangible spiritual feeling of not giving up. You're right, it's not material, it's not measurable, and maybe even not that relevant. It could be me overcorrecting on western despair that isn't going to change or become easier.

Someone like Xi led the country, along with their government and their party, but unless I'm ignorant on that as well, others inspired the people to change with it and make it work. In the same way that its not reasonable to measure it in members or population numbers when insiders dislike and outsiders appreciate, especially with the former pope.

But, again, I'm probably miss-evaluating a few things, including personal despair.

Fair enough. Thanks for that, good post. I'm seeing that I was thinking about the influence on captivating some people into rethinking what they think about the reactionary path, from whether they should reject it, to whether they should reject it in a different way, and what progress and dreams were seen as acceptable to lose in what turned out not to be temporary, let alone necessary.

And I'm used to and don't know how to talk about spirituality, which obviously isn't as important as material analysis, and sometimes overcorrect both the world's and personal feelings of despair.

I understood it and was going with influential as inspirational and motivational to the largest and most diverse group of people, not the most radical. Maybe chinese and neighbors alone beat the numbers for Xi, which whom I don't think vibes much populism or direct impact. It's not "some cool antiwar stuff", which is kind of the official line of the church, it's the words about capitalism, inequality, climate change, billionaires, financial sector, calling Gaza every single day, and the limited but huge shifts about communism, feminism, and LGB (missed something there, I know), all while at the top of the reactionary central of the west for centuries.

Actual existing communism is great, but, I don't know, doesn't feel it moved the techtonic plates as much.

Maybe its a bit western-centric, but a local random good person I follow on xitter pointed out that the late pope was the most influential leftist of the last decade. Flawed, like any human, but yeah, that hit.

Can't say whether the chickens are well treated (which means they aren't, I know), but yeah they can be.

America has no qualified workers, no production chains to supply production, and no capital interested in industrial development. It'll work great.
