Chinese Youth to Develop Africa: A Mutual Salvation
(thechinaacademy.org)
I dig the message, but I don't think that "race/gender/LGBT" topics are unimportant or not worth discussing, obviously. As an engineer I often feel like the work I do is not materially benefitting real people - usually it feels like we are playing with some rich folks Monopoly money trying to implement some magic feature or create some magic product before one of the other teams of people on the other side of the country does the same. It's demoralizing. Having an opportunity to improve the technology related to production of the means of sustenance is the primary goal, but it's really quite rare under imperialism, which is consistently a self-contradicting system. However, the liberatory effects of a modern economy include freeing us from those traditional vestiges of social expectation related to our assigned genders, and as Marxists we should continue to study this as an emergent social phenomenon and not through some close minded lens. Race too has an important and distinct dimension under imperialism which any modern Marxist should be able to see, although maybe from the perspective of a young Chinese person that is not so easy to see? Nevertheless, social and technological progress = good
