@Kathleen_Tyson_ You’re correct. None of what this charlatan says is correct.
English
This is completely wrong.
China doesn’t want or need Western energy, chips, or the US market in 2026.
Energy independence is being engineered with domestic alternative energy, expansion of oil drilling (China now 3rd largest producer), and import partners Russia and BRI states.
China rejected using new Nvidia gaming chips this week and is not buying AI chips in size anymore.
Exports to US are down from a peak of 21% of total exports in 2017 to just 11% in 2025, and will decline in importance further as exports surge to the global South.
I know it’s hard work staying informed, but do the work if you’re going to prognosticate about China.

Here is what each side actually wants. China wants three things. Cheap energy from the Western Hemisphere. Nvidia chips to fuel its AI. Access to the US market. America wants three things. Chinese consumers to buy stable coins to finance US debt. China as a lab to test AI surveillance that cannot be tested in America. Chinese manufacturing — in America and Venezuela. This is not a trade deal. This is a restructuring of the entire global economy. China becomes the factory and the lab. America becomes the financier and the landlord. Both need each other to survive. That is the grand bargain.

@MattPolProf Empathizing with Israel = good nuanced civilized.
Empathizing with Palestinians = suicidal empathy bad, anti western.
This is unironically the thesis of this book.

“Before I forget, Novara Media is a creation of Plan C too! And the research institute at which Aaron Bastani did his PhD was funded by Mi5. His supervisor went on to work as an advisor for the MI6 run Counter Disinformation Unit at DCMS (British government Dept of Culture, Media and Sport).
This isn’t even all of it. So basically we're looking at the “mainstream and acceptable” British left being run by an intelligence network.
This actually makes a lot of sense when the cultural organs of the left trace their intellectual lineage back to the IRD, Congress for Cultural Freedom and Round Table (British Empire).”

@X1H1_ @AbbieHoffmanner He has a masters in the study of Marxist theory, well documented that he studied Marx intently for ~6 years.

@martinjdwareham @YesterdaysBrit1 @fredgs05 @reformparty_uk The world you were born into existed because of the high taxes on the richest and high unionization rates among the workers.
Thatcher destroy that for offshore tax havens and the city.
English
@YesterdaysBrit1 @fredgs05 My year of my birth, we’ve lost so much as a country since then 😢 When Maggie was in power I was a young conservative, with so much optimism for the UK. I’m hoping @reformparty_uk will get into power and hopefully bring back that feeling of optimism for me 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Britain. 1967. And if we had much less than we have right now, in reality we were richer in so many other ways.
English
@DollyGreyCloud @YesterdaysBrit1 @andreasnowdrop 90% top tax rate on the richest and 80% unionization rates helped.

@YesterdaysBrit1 @andreasnowdrop We had nothing, but I could walk the dog for miles without being raped. There was dancing on the village green. We used to sing round the piano, that was our entertainment.

BREAKING - @zarahsultana exercises Parliamentary Privilege to expose the unjust nature of the Filton 24 re-trial.
UK press has been court ordered not to publish these details.
“If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that”

11.30 Monday am bread is cheap, pensioners are shopping. 6.30pm its expensive working adults need to buy it.

@KitKlarenberg What do they mean by "dynamic pricing"?

Britain has more wage compression than the soviets, because the British state itself IS functionally soviet.
We adopted an economically communist model in 1940 when Churchill handed over control of the homefront to Labour, and have essentially never recovered.
A small thread🧵
Zynx@ZynxBTC
The UK has a far flatter income distribution than the Communist Soviet Union. The UK take home minimum wage for working a full time job (40-hours) is now £22,555. At £100k salary, the take home is £68,558. That is a net income ratio of 3.04:1 We are now at the point where the wage compression and taxes in the UK means that the difference between minimum wage and a top 5% salary is a net income difference of only ~3x. In the USSR using the same comparison, this figure never fell below 5:1 It's actually even worse in reality because the person earning £100k in the UK often has student loans. Britain is nominally capitalist but functionally communist. China is nominally communist but functionally capitalist. Funny how that works.

@ShoahUkraine The same guy who's wife went through the entire gulag experience with him and described his works as largely fantast.
English
Yes, I have! You mean the same Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn who was successfully treated for cancer while he was in the Gulag? What an oppressive regime that gives you life-saving medical care.
Is that the same guy who called the October Revolution a "Jewish invasion" of Russia and denied that any Jews served on the front lines, despite well over 250,000 Jews serving in the Red Army during World War II and 150 of them even receiving the Hero of the Soviet Union for their service during the Great Patriotic War?
The same guy who used the term "Judeo-Bolshevism" and said he understood why the Russian Liberation Army fought for Hitler? You mean this same guy would also defame the Red Army? No way! 😉😀

@analytichegel @truculntsuculnt @nukedwest The nessessity of parliamentarism is outlined in state and revolution, how can it be immediately transcended?
English
@truculntsuculnt @nukedwest This is an area of agreement between me and Marx but that is because it is a view espoused by prior socialists like Saint-Simon. As for where we disagree in methods I am not in favor of parliamentarism
Jules@analytichegel
@HuxleyDick Marx in his own lifetime put his weight behind directing socialist movement towards the project of parliamentarism. Despite the occasional anti-statist overtures Marx and Marxists are for the state in practice.
English
@AdamRamsay Its a shame every institution of the British state and press will now rally together for a smear campaign that will make the one against Corbyn look modest and grind them into dust before polls open.

This poll is the first time in British history that a party to the Left of Labour has topped a national poll.

The first national poll putting @TheGreenParty in first place is an extraordinary moment in British politics.

What if it's not "one dumb administration" but the main function of your entire professional career was contributing to a sophisticated ideological cover-up of those basic facts about capitalism, and precisely for that you were paid so generously at prestigious Western universities?
Luis Garicano 🇪🇺🇺🇦@lugaricano
Many of us, liberal Europeans, spent decades pushing back against the European extreme left's cartoon version of America ( it's all oil/ imperialism/getting rich at the expense of others) and then one dumb administration walks in and performs the caricature to perfection.
English
@SenTomCotton China is capitalist you fucking idiot.
Marxism requires you to have a stateless and classless society. China is neither of these.
But of course, you need to apply scary labels to anyone against U.S. hegemony so you can keep your delusional population dumb and obedient.
English
Let me be clear: China is still communist, Xi Jinping is still marxist, and it’s still the Evil Empire.

Realizing that pretty much all of Western 'Soviet historiography' is written by literal epstein associates (Montefiore) and MI6 agents (Robert Conquest) or both lol (Maxwell) is such a jarring realization.

Libertarianism is a lie. A 19 year old with $40,000 in student debt, addicted to pornography, gambling his pittance wage on draftkings, eating ultra-processed slop laced with additives, with no vocational skills, no family stability, no community, and no cultural framework for meaning is not "free". He is comprehensively captured by systems specifically engineered to exploit him.
