There people living in Taiwan. Should we protect and cherish their right to riddle their island with US bases if they want to?
Also even if we take the "argument" at face value and consider that the people doing these gotchas usualy jerk off to co-ops being socialism or doing co-ops under capitalism being the road to that . Welp China has more co-ops and people working on them than the rest of the world combned. Im pretty sure the more chinese people are working just in agricultural co-ops or communal owned agricultural buisnesses than the entire combined population of all European social democracies lmao. Let alone in other sectors. And the rate of co-op establishment has accelerated a ton in the last decade. This breaks a lot of anti-chinese demsoc brains
Since all almost all Macross is standalone there is no harm in putting stuff on hold between entries. Since Yamato is space opera/sci-fi doing a historical melodrama afterwards in RoV maybe would be more refreshing than a Macross entry

This site has it in great quality
The first half may have a lot of plotlines that seem frivolous or melodramatic
The funny thing is that if you look into it most of these melodramatic plotlines actualy happened and French nobles and aristocrats really were like that. You watch and you go "this seems far fetched and made up" but they were petty , vain and overly melodramatic like that. Sure the the presentation in the show and some extra details make it extra melodramatic but most of it is based on real shit these people did and say
But agreed. Great show with an amazing aesthetic (especially if you watch it i crisp BD quality from some torrent and not shitty compressed dvd quality on YT or some streaming site). Second half is directed by Osamu Dezaki who is considered the most influential and one of the best directors in anime's history. His other 70s anime (Gamba, Treasure Island(Takarajima) , Nobody's boy Remi (Ie Naki Ko), Aim for the Ace and Ashita no Joe) are equaly well made and directed as RoV and well worth a watch. Also im sure a lor of people here would love his other adaptation of a manga by the same author as RoV, Oniisama E... . Lots and Lots of amazing looking lesbian melodramma on that one

Lenin then proceeds to become fluent in 1.5 years, goes to China and of course they make him a honorary party member . He easily and through his already existing popularity rises to the top of the party and we now have Lenin in charge of a superpower better positioned against the West and world capital than the USSR ever was with all the tools and party structures at his disposal
would use any legislative power to move the needle away from social democracy and towards socialism given half the chance.
Man was "too nice" , inactive and compromising to even enact inter-party power to antagonize and go against the reactionaries and neolibs in his party openly trying to bring him down. Imagining a gigazhad Corbyn that not only had a hidden power level "transitioning away from social democracy" agenda but also that he would USE LEGISLATIVE POWER TO ENACT IT GIVEN HALF A CHANCE is pure fancfiction and its imaging a much more based and balsy personality. IF he was elected and IF he whiped the party into a remotely functioning shape that woud even 70% back and vote half of his Agenda and IF a better handling of Covid and Brexit dont still completely throw the country into chaos he would optimisticaly be a good harm reductive socdem materialy with the country under him have being probably a more conductive and energized enviroment of unions and youth communist organization. Also it falls in the "we get this socdem/demsoc party or candidate elected who will successfully then act in the most based way we can possibly imagine for them based on their rhetoric and actualy move the country towards socialism through legislation and reform" which is the dellusion that constantly arose and and constantly ate shit all over Europe after WW2 in dozens and dozens of occasions. Even in the most spectacular failure of someone like Tsipras and Syriza. If he wasnt elected and i after the fact focused on at a bunch of his rhetoric through the years,radcial party members,on paper agenda and radical younger self and comprehensively circlejerk myself into thinking he would be Chavez
Is it really usual or comparable ? Exxon for example seems to have had similar profits as Hauwai in 2021 and has around 80k employees. The equivalent of what Huawei does would be an annual distribution or "bonus" of around 100k to their employees .From what i see their bonuses were at average 15k but in their bulk bellow 10k. With CEOs racking up dozens and dozens of millions over the years , even just in bonuses. And on top of that it seems that even the employee bonuses have been obliderated in recent years due to "oil crisis". justifications . Same seems to be the case with the other companies you mention. "average" bonuses of 10k (a lot under that and inflated due to CEO and other high level bonuses,) on companies where the equivalent clear profit/employees would put it at 100k . And also an abandonment of a lot of these bonuses in recent years
But Huwaei is relatively evenly dividing a majority of pure annual profits among the general employee population . And thats not as a bonus scheme but a direct result and part of Huwaei being majority ESOP structured in a very unique way, which also translate to worker control ,union and voting mechanisms inside the company. You can maybe argue that this counts as "labor aristocracy" only if you argue that fairer profit distributive among employees co-op/esop structures of large profitable tech company like Huawei exising makes their employes much better compensated compared to others. But thats not a problem with the structure , its a reason for more and more of China's and the worlds tech and other companies to be restructured like that. Also idk about comparing inflated monstrous oil giants that have exerted influence in some of the worst policies and disasters of modern times to Huawei
Also it seems like if this was anything in line with a western giant like Exxon or even some silcon valey company it would be easy after the economic warfare and sanctions the west and Trump(now biden) unleased against Hauwai, forcing them out of markets to find an excuse just not give "the treats" and instead trickle down the "losses" to their employees as an excuse for the ceos to get richer and for more individual accumulation of wealth. But the highest decision making body in Huawei is the Employee Shareholders' Representative Commission representing and being voted up in 1 share 1 vote stages from the 130,000 Huawei employees that own collectively 95%+ of the companies shares with no huge discrepencies of share holding between employees.
Also the more i read the more i see that their system is pretty complicated and interesting, more Based than just "its ESOP" but with also interesting peculiarities due to historical development
I know its not a pure co-op structure in the Richard Wolf's bonner Mondragon sense or smth but you can call Huawai the largest co-op in the world i feel. And if you do the numbers for the largest co-ops globaly as well as for the numbers of people or % of the economy being in different co-op or communal structures, you will likely get China topping the charts
That must be a weird realization for some of the feverishly anti-china demsoc/libsoc co-op socialism lovers. Turns out China or places like Vietnam are the best examples of and the closest thing to co-op AES? well well well

A major point to consider is that Sailor Moon was a long running weekly show that went on without breaks for years. Shows like that, no matter the era, require more limited animation tricks in order to deliver an interesting visual product because they will have less movement than 10-20 episode seasonal shows . Also idk what you mean by "janky animations" but Sailor Moon actually moves more and has better, less janky animation than most modern shows of similar length and production.
There is truth that some of the techniques used have faded out and that makes it harder for limited or long productions to deliver a pleasing show visually. Stuff like stylized still frames, color swaps, pans, triple takes and more limited comedic acting with great expressions are somewhat of a lost art form. Either because a some were achieved by analog cel photography and their aesthetic doesn't go well with digital colors and computer compositing but mostly because there is market demand to storyboard shows in a flashier way "like other big hits" and bad productions have lost the ability and realism to try and work around their limitations . Also younger generation of artists simply didn't grow up with those aesthetics so they won't try to reproduce it
Another thing to note is that it was simpler to make a competent looking show back then because simple cel photography of hand painted backgrounds its hard to fuck up aestheticaly. Computer compositing gives people way too many tools to fuck up the aesthetic with filters, digital effects, 3d assets etc being heavily used and usually in a bad or rushed ways due to production issues usually since compositing is also the last thing done. That's why there are 10 isekai every season that look like bland ass aestheticaly . They would be equally crap story wise in the 90s and they wouldn't move more but the art direction, backgrounds etc would have looked at worst cool. Same with sailor Moon. It relies on great backgrounds and color design but in a modern paradigm for a long running show that aspect would look worse and blander
Lastly anime productions are in their worst state ever. Its horrid really. 2-3 great looking shows each season hide the fact that the rest are completely broken, taped together in the last minute and rely on armies of inexperienced animators to patch them up. The production process hasn't been simplified by became more and more complex and fragmentated and without a system of mentorship in place the talent required isn't replaced in good rates despite the fact that many people world wide work o anime nowadays.
