“We want him to act like a hegemon and purge people based on ideology instead of what they have done.”

Go read “Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers”, written by a member of the CCP to better understand what kind of leader Mamdani is vs the kind you are asking for and the consequences there of.

I read it and still share the same response. You expect him to say he will not hire someone to coordinate trash pickup based on their foreign policies? Lol okay.

That or the school shootings are so common the lone wolves are starting to look for more creative ways to grab headlines

Establishing a hegemon can only be done after the revolution. Once you eat that pill there’s no perfection afterwards without some self-destruction.

I love Micheal Parenti but that quote doesn’t address the criticism. Parenti talks of revolution, OP talks of a government preserving the status quote.

I like that you brought up an example that can be analyzed. The court ordered him to apologize and he didn’t follow through, there has to be some consequence to disobeying a judge. But it seems to me they could benefit from less hegemonic judges.

I really wish I understood the Chinese legal system better. It’s like they operate under a different constellation of rights and it isn’t immediately obvious to me how these cases play out. Maybe I should try finding some modern legal dramas from the mainland…

I don’t think I have ever seen that explanation work on someone who is misinformed, but if I am proven wrong then the world will be a better place.

I phone banked for Harris but she was making our jobs harder by taking unpopular positions. What will you have me say to the voter who won’t vote for a Newsom presidency because they take AIPAC money? Because I was told to just move on and call the next person.

Again, you are allowed to say the CCP does not respect human rights as defined by the west, they will openly agree with that statement and repeat it back to you. But to say the people don’t have rights to even say that is inflammatory because it is false.

Being inflammatory is not the same as someone complaining about an unjust government nor is it the same as feeling bad about something. It is a rhetorical strategy that is not suited for bridging misunderstandings and that is why such content gets removed from their platforms.

I am currently reading a book (Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers) by a CCP member and he talks about:

• The merits of Democracy
• Tienamen Square
• A better leadership style for China than what they have

So you can talk about these things, but what isn’t allowed is being inflammatory.

Ehh, China is increasingly caring about it’s international image, and there’s always backroom deals.

It’s like I agree with your observations but come to different conclusions about what is to be done. I agree Obama, nor any other politician can deliver the change we need given the system we have. To me the lesson isn’t Obama was so much better than Bush or Trump, but that we need to look to ourselves and not for some great leader to save us.

We are looking forward by making excuses for our past? Lol okay.

After reading the Epstein emails: But why would investors invest in something they can’t literally fuck?

Is this because they want Russia to take the peace deal?

Well all the business leaders who think that’s a dumb cultural perspective just bought all three branches of government.

And yet Maosism has shown it is the superior successor.
