socialism would be the government actually looking out for their population, which the Chinese government doesn’t do.
- The real wage (IE the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. This is staggering considering it’s the most populous country on the planet. The US real wage by comparison is lower in 2019 than it was in 1973.
- Workplace democracy in action in the CPC.
- US Life expectancy peaked in 2015, is on the decline, and is now lower than in China. 2
- Wages themselves are forced to rise in the private sector by the CPC (+16% every years, +400% since 1980) who force the capitalists to accept the presence of CPC chapters who represent the interest of the workers, increasing workers control even in the capitalist parts of the economy.
- Eliminated Urban Poverty. On track to eliminate all poverty within a decade.
- CGTN documentary - China’s war on poverty
- What kind of democracy does China have, and how is it different from the west?
- In contrast to low US political approval ratings, 96% of Chinese are satisfied with the national government (Edelmans 2016). World Values Surveys says that 83% think the country is run for their benefit rather than for the benefit of special groups. A Harvard research center study of long-term public opinion survey finds that > 95% of Chinese citizens approved their government. How is this possible in a one-party state? (TED talk by Eric X Li)
Dessalines@lemmy.mlMto Thumb-Key@lemmy.ml•Thumb-Key not appearing on Android Studio emulated device2·22 hours agoIt should show an error, not just a debug line, if it’s failing to open. I’d recommend just using a real device instead of an emulator.
Dessalines@lemmy.mlMto Thumb-Key@lemmy.ml•Thumb-Key not appearing on Android Studio emulated device2·22 hours agoI’m not sure if anyone’s got it properly working with an emulated device, because you’d need to enable and then select that ime. I always just develop on a wifi connected device.
Dessalines@lemmy.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•AOC’s office vandalized after recent House vote involving US aid to Israel142·2 days agoShe’s been staunchly pro-Israel for so long too. This is from 2018. Almost a decade and has only gotten worse.
Saying that Biden raped a woman, would’ve gotten you banned from reddit (and the liberal lemmy servers) just a few months ago. The liberals dropped #metoo faster than a rock during election season.
Bill gates should be next:
According to the article, Bill met with Epstein on “numerous occasions,” including one visit that spanned hours.
“His lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing although it would not work for me,” he emailed colleagues in 2011, after his first encounter with Epstein.
Narrator: The summer was… not lit
I think I saw “guess my fursona” at one point lol
Dessalines@lemmy.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defends decision to support military aid for Israel21·3 days agoTotally agree. She’s been consistent in her support for Israel over the years, so it’s been annoying seeing ppl defend her most recent vote.
Free thinker: “Okay the US lies about a lot of things, but they’re definitely not lying to us about communism. Why would they even do that”
Dessalines@lemmy.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defends decision to support military aid for Israel41·3 days agoWe get far too many genocide-defending pissrael posters from other instances to be lenient towards them. Pretty much every site besides a few leftist ones like ours lets them set up shop and run wild.
We refuse to give genocide and genocide apologia a platform here.
Dessalines@lemmy.mlto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•AOC's Been Doing This For Years. Zohran Will Too. You Fell For It AgainEnglish18·4 days agoThe marxist strategy for electoralist entryism, was to form our own working class parties and use the electoral pulpit to spread socialist ideas.
It never succeeded in actually electing candidates and turning any state based on bourgeios parliamentarism, into a socialist one, in any country.
Dessalines@lemmy.mlOPto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•In spite of skyrocketing US police budgets, cities' murder clearance rates are plummeting.10·4 days agoI imagine its mainly a matter of 1) expertise, and 2) priorities.
- The detectives who are actually good at solving crimes get burdened with hundreds of cases, then suffer from burnout and retire early like a lot of professions nowadays. Then the people who come to replace them have no experience, have to learn from scratch, and the cycle repeats.
- Solving murders (especially when it involves poor people getting murdered) isn’t profitable, and isn’t prioritized as much as revenue-generating activities like drug busts, traffic ticketing, and getting poor and homeless people into the court and prison system. Like its probably <1% of cops of any given larger city that work on and know how to solve crimes like murder or theft. Cops are the hired goons of your city’s capitalists, protecting their property is what they’re paid to do.
My car got broken into when I was in highschool, and I learned the lesson that US cops aren’t going to help you, and probably don’t know how to solve even simple crimes like petty theft. It gains them nothing to help you, and that’s not what they’re being paid to do.
Bernie supported and asked people to vote for biden, who raped a woman in the 90s.
Again, despite what bernie and other war hawks tell you, there are options outside the democratic party.
It’s generally seen as a submissive act to do it to someone else.
Yes we already know that societally it’s employed as a homophobic and highly sexualized demeaning slur. Everything you wrote after is just apologizing for your use of it.
Because it accomplishes nothing. It’s not good strategy to play a rigged game, where acheivements were only made when people refused to play it, and went around it.
You’ve given me no reason to play your rigged game.
All meaningful positive change in the US happened outside of the theatre piece of electoral politics. These include:
- Socialist armies like vietnam’s bringing the US to heel ended the US draft.
- Large numbers of people protesting internally, brought the end of the vietnam war, rights for workers like the 8 hour day, women’s rights, etc. The US has one of the bloodiest labor histories of any country, and unfortunately the US state did defeat it, but all of the gains for US workers come from this historical period of anti-capitalist organization.
US electoralism is a distracting theatre piece, where both sides act as capitalist puppets. All positive change comes in spite of that system, when ppl start organizing outside of it.
Liberals : “Play my rigged game”
Communists : “no”
Liberals : 😭😭😭
Every theatre piece needs a foil, and playing the controlled opposition is the main function of the US democratic party.

Yes, I use android studio and test on a read device via wireless debugging. I used to try to use the internal emulators but they have a lot of problems.
You get full logcat logs sent from your device when you do that, so it makes errors easy to find.
