    Everyone reading this thread should fucking read Losurdo’s Class Struggle. China’s proletarian party is working in the long term interests of the proletariat by allowing bourgeois management of the economy and slowly learning from and then replacing it. But applying the Unity of Action principle means also letting specific models succes and fail of their own accords after attempting to apply them well. And right now, the economic model is working and being slightly shifted where needed, but achieving the long term goals. If China were to give all this up, and attack and then be destroyed by the imperialist west to stop the current atrocities (as much as I care about it too), the genocides that would follow would be even larger and worse. I’m not starry eyed enough to think China would actually win a global war right now, because the enemy is genuinely very powerful.

    Stalin wanted to win in Spain but knew that destroying themselves there would prevent their survival in the coming war. It’s a fundamentally future and empirically oriented position, and that feels horrible and harsh at any given moment of inability.
