Foreign aid is when the poor people of a rich country give money to the rich people of a poor country!

Breht and Alyson talk about this in their episode on Socialism: Utopian and Scientific when they talk about how Marxism is a science. Breht brought up some events that could falsify key pillars of Marxist thought (around 1:25 in)

  • Anarcho-capitalism gets established
  • If liberal democracy is able to resolve class conflict
  • A non-Marxist left ideology is able to lead and defend a world revolution
  • Fascism and imperialism is rooted out of liberal society

Any of these events happening would crush key views of Marxism.

 

Here is a link to the json archive of /r/GenZedong that I created (2.4 GB). It goes all the way up to the quarantine. It's possible to get the posts that took place after quarantine but it's a little trickier and will require some more programming. I'll work on doing that when I get some more time.

Chinese-American. I was a Bernie soc dem and was kind of a self-hating Chinese second-generation immigrant because I heard from the media that I was supposed to hate China for their policies on Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong. Once I learned more about the CPC and read theory, I started seeing the world in a completely different way. Today, I proudly call myself a Marxist-Leninist.

I'm guessing it's just a matter of time, but it may be a while. I remember /r/ChapoTrapHouse staying quarantined for several months before finally getting banned.
