Are you saying you literally can't tell the difference between revolutionary communist countries and fascist genocidal colonies? Wow, you really do need to read Lenin.

Also China's "neutrality" is supposed to be based on non-interference and peaceful development. By building settlements they interfere in what is internationally recognized as occupied Palestine by the UN. And how is aiding genocidal settlers peaceful?

Edit: I totally do trust China could do be better than this. Don't you?

Oh, so with that aid they paid the Palestinians for the stolen land on which they build settlements for fascists? Did the Palestinians agree to hand over this land in exchange for some food packages? No, well than that's just like aiding a thief and then throwing some pocket change at the helpless victim as they lie on the ground. Wondering how the value of these construction materials and all the work hours compares to the aid.

Are you saying they should stop?

Ridiculous straw man argument.

How much can the contract to send 6000 workers be worth to China? Do they really need the money that bad? They could just not aid the zionist colonialism. Not doing anything would be better than what they are doing. Not even fucking Germany is sending 6000 workers to literally build colonies. I know, they sent weapons instead, which is worse, but still. You can't frame this as a strategically necessary decision of China. That's ridiculous.

Exactly. Critical support for China is well and good, and I always support it. But we support Palestine as well right? So you have to ask yourself: shouldn't these colonists building settlements for zionists on occupied land for a genocidal regime and profiting of colonialism be considered enemies of the resistance, whose trying to end this injustice and end the genocide? Think about it.

Admittedly, the resistance is not in a position right now, where this question has practical relevance, but in order to judge a political situation you should always take the perspective of the most oppressed and that is not China in this case. While China may be able to afford being "neutral" (pretending you even can be neutral in face of a genocide, which you can't), Palestinians definitely do not have this privilege of pretend "neutrality". The genocide is being forced on them. And if at any point the tables where to turn and they decided to take appropriate and measured action against these occupiers and those who aid them, then that would be their rightful call to make.

Mostly illiterate is practically true already for the U.S. with most adults reading skills worse than those of sixth graders.

It helps to distinguish between personal belief and institutionalized religion.

That's usually the case, but it's just not true for mosquitos. Entomologist quoted in this Nature article:

"If we eradicated them tomorrow, the ecosystems where they are active will hiccup and then get on with life. Something better or worse would take over."

So much self-reflection, that's impressive! I'm not a parent, but I feel like I get a lot of this, because it's articulated so well. Also sounds, like you really intend to do your best!

The goal when communicating is to remove "you" from the message. As a small example, "You need to clean up your plate and fork!" could become "I see a plate and fork still in the table!"

That's like classic non-violent communication by Marshall Rosenberg. There is more to it and it helps with adults too, not just with children.

So yeah. Its a struggle. It's exhausting. Being exhausted makes everything harder.

Maybe forgiveness might help with the exhaustion. For the mistakes of your own caretakers, for yourself, for your children. Most importantly for yourself. You can more easily try your best every day, if blame for not getting it perfect all the time doesn't become so strong, that it gets in the way. Not sure, if this applies at all to your case.

Yes and this also means it can happen given an economic crisis or crisis of legitimacy, proper organizing and the right balance of power between classes.

it isn't a spontaneous thing that occurs once a certain threshold of suffering is reached.

Absolutely! It's weird how often this simplistic "threshold of suffering" view of revolutions is just assumed without any theoretical basis. It explicitly goes against Lenin who rejected spontaneity and insisted on organizing.

A historic materialist analysis of revolutions does not rely on anything as subjective as suffering. It is concerned with objective contradictions inherent in the mode of production, class analysis, class consciousness and organizing. And no, suffering alone does not suffice to create class consciousness. Without organizing it can lead to despair, passivity or fragmented resistance.

In a successful revolution, seeds of class consciousness lead to political action which leads to more class consciousness which leads to more action and so on.

And those seeds are planted right now in the boring everyday struggle. In every strike, protest and action. And organizing them builds structures and alliances from which a revolutionary potential might someday emerge.

Capitalism is not sustainable and keeps producing crisis and moments that can be captured. History is full of those moments when the ruling class seemed invincible - right up until they were overthrown.

Wow, I hadn't realized it's gotten so bad. I use duckduckgo and just tried it. I also got some of these. A little fewer though.

I got fascist undertones from My Hero Academia and stopped reading long ago. Was I wrong?

Totally agree on dialectical materialism, though there is no such thing as a universally accepted scientific method. I say this as a scientist working in a technical field: science in capitalism is ripe with contradiction.
