It's just so weird. I know a few Ultras in real life and some of them are really well read in theory and yet they fail the absolute basics. Which is the part that confuses me.
Like they have so much niche knowledge of Marxism but don't get the basics. How do you end up like this?
Has anyone a genuine idea why ultras are like this? It's not like anyone was happy introducing the reforms and taking an (admittedly big) step back but reaching Communism eventually is a process.
Why is it so hard for them to realise that countries don't exist in a vacuum. To ensure the long time survival of the Revolution taking a step back is a small price to pay when the alternative is failing and getting pillaged by the west.
This shit makes me so fucking angry. Honestly I will threat people with violence should they bring it up in real life.
Slander Stalin? Yeah sure whatever liberal.
Make apologies for Hitler in the same sentence?

I feel like 40k or B99 problems stem from the liberal environment in which they are created. In another society I wouldn't have any problems with them. A show about silly cops doing silly stuff comes of way different in a communist society where the job of the police really is helping and protecting others instead of being the skull breakers and murderers of capitalism. That's part of the reason why I can find enjoyment in B99 but not in stuff like the Rookie.
B99 is almost a caricature and while it never engages in any solutions or real (read non liberal "a few bad apples") criticism of the police. It's comical enough for me to go "Yeah that's fiction." While still being aware that at the end of the day it shows racist murderers and enforcers of the bourgeois rule as funny good guys.
The Rookie tries to make you feel sympathy for real life cops sooooo bad it's ridiculous. It's rather obvious that the intention of the show is to portray a "relasticish" police drama. Which just doesn't gel with me since there just is nothing sympathetic about real life cops at all.
You are really desperately trying to get a rise out of me, aren't you? It's not gonna work.

China: manages to produce 7nm chips with older technology
This guy: Nooooo. Ther is no way the CCP can find solutions to problems. They must have bought them in secret and are only pretending to produce them on their own!
Ohh definitely. While there where good reasons for the high focus on heavy industry, the lack of consumer goods was definitely a reason for the fall of the GDR.
It's weird my mother and her siblings all lived in the GDR. The GDR was disbanded when they were in their early to late twenties. My mother who was the oldest sibling has quite fond memories of the GDR (even though she was annoyed at some aspects so much that she considered putting forth an exit application.
My uncles who where in their early twenties when the GDR fell don't think that way. They have adopted the Soviet Union bad, America good mindset.
Why ask a question when you can't be bothered with engaging in the answer?
If you feel the need to actually learn something in the future take a look at genzhou here on the grad.
Otherwise please don't waste anyone elses time.
Why do you guys even go to bat for China so hard? They’re not even communist? They are state capitalists and more right wing and authoritarian than the US republican party (other than on green energy)?
Because they aren't. You are being lied to. If you want to understand us I recommend reading "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: A Guide for Foreigners" by Robert Boer.
"Noooo! You aren't supposed to read actual communist theory. You can't engage with the well thought out arguments of Communist figureheads. You are supposed to read Ayan Rand and the Black book of Communism to gain a true understanding of its horrors."
We will see how it plays out. I don't like speculating about human lives but I wish the Palestinian resistance much success.

We only played Code One (which is a simplified set of rules, makes for more casual games since you don't have to juggle as many rules.)
And yeah. If what they told me is true then Ariadna is only holding together marginally and the militaries hate each other pretty much.
But I am excited to play again. I bought the Haqqislam starter pack and will paint them on the weekend.

I have listened to the episodes with him but I have no idea who he is outside of that. Could you please elaborate?
Fucking what?!
What's next?
"Hey Guys, Dan Abnett here I just wanted to check in to tell you that the Imperium is actually based on Ukraine and Chaos is modern day Russia."
Thinking about it that might already be the case anyway.
Yeah I know what you mean.

I doubt climate change is a problem any longer. We will all have died in nuclear fire before.
I am pretty sure it's 95% deeply rooted racism and the rest is the result of the ongoing propaganda campaign.

Really delicious tears 😋
You are not a communist then. Just a liberal who read the communist manifesto once.
Ohh definitely. While there where good reasons for the high focus on heavy industry, the lack of consumer goods was definitely a reason for the fall of the GDR.
Yes exactly. I want you to read the forbidden tomes so you will fall to the ruinous powers of communism.
I recommended a 300 pages long book not a paper. You said you spend 30 minutes with it. That's not enough to even skim it.
