I’d be interested to hear thoughts about this discussion from Comrades in Hexbear and Lemmygrad.

I’d be interested to hear thoughts about this discussion from Comrades in Hexbear and Lemmygrad.
Can you elaborate why? For my own information, not for the purposes of questioning your reasoning.
There was a few specific things he said that rubbed me an Ultra sort of way, I can’t remember much in particular.
I do remember specifically him and Hakim talking about China some 3-5ish years ago, which can be summed up by Hakim saying he was “hesistantly optimistic” about China and Paul chiming that he was “hesitantly pessimistic”–in context of whether or not China was actually socialist.
Perhaps he has changed, but people who get sucked into anti-Chinese leftist spaces tend to, in my experience, get worse with time, not better. Love to be wrong though.
I appreciate this sentiment, I definitely prefer to be as Hakim is. Even while acknowledging China’s problems, I prefer to see it as a progressive actor taking humanity in a better direction.
