Sorry, @SovietReporter, we don’t accept propaganda here, only facts and logic from our truthy government & MBFC-sanctioned corporate media.

No first use: China vs. No first use: United States

But, listen, let’s review the rules. Here’s how it works. The President makes decisions. He’s the Decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration? You know, fiction.

Video is in reference to: After Ukraine, US readies ‘transnational kill chain’ for Taiwan proxy war Washington approved the dangerous sale of the Link 16 communications system to Taiwan. This is the final link of what the US military calls a “transnational coalition kill chain” against China, and signals a commitment to kinetic war.

This shit landed from outer space: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charanjit_Singh_(musician)#…

In the 21st century, Charanjit Singh gained attention for his 1982 release Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat, an album originally intended as a fusion of electronic disco music with Indian classical ragas. Singh’s use of both the TR-808 drum machine and TB-303 bass synthesizer has led some music journalists to suggest that it is perhaps the earliest example of acid house music; predating Phuture’s seminal Chicago acid house record “Acid Tracks” (1987) by five years. Comparisons have also been made with the work of other electronic dance musicians who were inspired by acid house such as Ceephax, Phuture 303, and Aphex Twin. According to The Guardian writer Stuart Aitken, Singh’s record was “far ahead” of its time.

The Chinese state has been allowing some limited amount of capitalism, which it is slowly whittling away, and this article shows an example of that whittling. But that isn’t state capitalism.

State capitalism seems to have a variety of contradictory meanings. The Chinese state itself doesn’t run under the capitalist mode of production, because it has fiat monetary sovereignty. It has no need to extract surplus value from workers to make a profit, because it has the ability to create money out of thin air and to destroy money through taxation. This also means that it isn’t subject to the boom & bust business cycle, at least not directly: it’s affected by the (again limited and dwindling) indigenous private capitalist business cycle and by the business cycles of other capitalist countries.

The CPC is a Marxist polity, so it’s no surprise to them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_cycle

Periodic crises in capitalism formed the basis of the theory of Karl Marx

@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

Russia wanted to be a part of Western imperialism but the US rejected it, because it wanted Russia to be on the menu instead of at the table. The post-Soviet neoliberal shock therapy was a Global North plundering, which in Russia started under Yeltsin and ended under Putin, and the US still wants to finish the job it started.

.
Now Russia, out of necessity, has joined the Global South majority against the imperialist Global North minority.

Funny how expat is only ever used in reference to Westerners. I’ve never heard someone call an Asian person in the West on a temporary work visa an expat.

My color laser printer uses only K to print blacK. It takes four cartridges, and I’ve only had to replace the C, M, and Y cartridges once in the 15 years or so I’ve owned it, because I almost never print pages with color.
