China is not a capitalist state, because the capitalists have not gotten control of the state, though the possibility of them getting control should not be ignored.

This guy again, or rather still?
I wonder why he stopped posting to his Substack; maybe to focus on wrecking other people’s sites.
Edit to add that it looks like he’s active on Blogger: https://wisconsincommunist.blogspot.com/

A lot of mileage is being had this morning from my conversations with these two galaxy-brained anarchists last night 😂

Please, Xi, send more bux. I can’t with these people.
Relatedly, push polls.
Burgerland liberals, blissfully unaware that they’re passengers on the Death Star.
They can, but only long dead & whitewashed historical ones, which may as well be fictional.
Focusing more on the library (personally I feel it’s really starting to look like something!

Q: What did Hitler and Magneto have in common? A: Vegetarianism.
“Frugality” makes me think of the Calvinist/Protestant work ethic, which it has been argued is a bourgeois ideology.
It emphasizes that a person's subscription to the values espoused by the Protestant faith, particularly Calvinism, result in diligence, discipline, and frugality.
There’s a book by R. H. Tawney in my towering pile of unreads about it: Religion and the Rise of Capitalism

No results found for "ball of wax and pubes".
Are any of the state run industries actually run for profit? Because if so, I wonder why, because I can think of no reason why they’d need to make a profit. The Chinese state can and does print as much of its sovereign fiat money as it pleases. They might run some things “for profit” as a form of taxation. The purpose of taxation at the sovereign state level is not to accumulate money but to destroy money, removing it from the economy.
I never really thought about what if any foreign currency-denominated profits the Chinese state might be trying to make. I guess I just assumed that all state industry is for domestic use.
