  • brazilian here, the change on perception about china is hard to pinpoint, but i would guess it is because of technological advancement, chinese brands are very popular here for being cheap and high quality, xiaomi phones (like the one im using rn) are a fever and byd cars are very talked about, computers parts are also very popular, heck my pc is almost mostly chinese. for people hows interested, chinese internal tech also amazes, like turning desert into greenery, renewable energy, high speed train, massive works of infrastructure and so on.

    secondary i would put being the adult in the room, while they are our biggest trading partner and shower the world with tech wonders, they also represent stability in such in a chaotic world, which gives almost no room to our mainstream media to demonize it, combined with trumps “diplomacy”, i.e, trying to destabilize the region and putting insane tariffs on everyone with equally insane internal politics like the ice raids, contributed greatly to the perception that usa is more authoritarian than china.

    in third and almost no relevancy would be culture, i know that there is a blockade on it and in brazil specifically there is not many laws protecting local cinema, so 8 of 10 sessions are usian movies, chinese anime also isn’t very watched around, but there slowly they are piercing away that, last year black myth wukong was very successful and ne zha 2 just hit our theaters, perhaps we will see more chinese movies in the coming years.

    as for the many many communists parties, most of then consider china capitalist and imperialist.



  • for starters, treating disabled people as if they are made of sugar is in itself ableist, which is the case of the print in question. learning disorder doesn’t mean learning incapacity, they just have to make a extra effort do get it done, the point for socialists should be that we can create the conditions that these people doesn’t fell like total shit for not keeping up with a unhealthy competitive society and they will have the necessary support to reach their full potential and have complete and fulfilling lives.


  • are they trots or something else? im reading a little book called What is Dialects by Alexandre Konder, a brazilian author, he goes to similar points, he says that there was metaphysics tendencies growing in communists parties around europe, especially in germany with Berninstein, then Lenin dissed the shit out of everyone in What is to be done, to correct these tendencies, that made possible due to Lenin deep understanding of hegelian dialects, then everything went to crap when Stalin came to power because he despised theory, but had a amazing ability to make didactic examples like in the text historical materialism and dialectical materialism, but still weak on hegel, something something that paved way to revisionists like kruchov to rise.

    i felt compelled to translate the part and bring to you guys, but coincidentally the subject came up, so, what is the deal with that? is any of this true that stalin wasn’t up in theory and didn’t understood stuff?






  • usians have this vision of a war that it is like going safari with the boys, going to some “shithole country” to shot some , crack open a cold one and have a bbq + manifest destiny that they are god’s unmatched army and they win easily and doesn’t cross their minds that war can happen in the home land, always on the attack.
