The kool aid of imperial exceptionalism is well and truly drunk. The intelligent managers of empire like H. W. and other scum from the postwar period haven’t had their hands on the tiller for decades at this point.

glimmer_twin [he/him]@hexbear.netto theory@hexbear.net•started reading Unequal Exchange by Torkil Lauesen last nightEnglish8·3 days agoIt’s almost like we can read works from people we don’t 100% agree with to consume a variety of ideas, challenge our assumptions, and take the good/leave the bad.
People act like reading something from someone who has a bad take on one topic or another is like reading some sort of cursed tome that instantly makes you a revisionist.
Personally I found “the principle contradiction” to be an interesting work, I’ll have to check this one out too. Thanks for the recommendation.
Also, lauesen fucking robbed banks, sent the money to anticolonial resistance movements, and ended up doing time for it, he and his comrades did more for the struggle than 99.99% of randos online who complain about his takes on the USSR will ever achieve.

By 6 and 7 I was old enough to realise “oh these actually kinda suck”. Not in a political sense, I just thought the actual books themselves were mid a.f. once I reached my later teens

It’s been great to see Hexbear’s position on China develop over the last few years into a more rigorous socialist one that is more open to criticism of the PRC. I remember a time when even the most mild criticism was an absolute non-starter on here.

I know it’s just a meme but we have to be intellectually honest, otherwise we’re no better than the liberals. If I can send this retort, one of our enemies can too.
