It would be really cool if China bucked the trend and took a harder left turn right about now
Like, Xi coming out in a military uniform declaring the official establishment of the fourth international and an open invite to all current BRICS members, war against Israel, and a fatwa against the uh imperial powers (fuck off fbi).
Or maybe Xi steps down to be replaced by motherfucking
It would be a strategic mistake. We are in the interwar period now. China must minimize the harm it recieves during this period and conserve its power and alliances for the coming world war. Allowing the empire to fight various other resistance forces worldwide and use up its ammunition reserves and political capital with other nations is necessary to be able to defeat it in a direct conflict without taking heavy losses.
While it would be nice if China could save the entire world the #1 goal must be protecting the Chinese Socialist Project. Because when the dust settles the world will need to be rebuilt, and we will need China whole to do it.
I’m being tongue in cheek but
We are in the interwar period now.
We have begun the war period. There is no harm reduction, China cannot just sneak itself out of the limelight and into utopia. The west is gunning for them, and trump/US is very willing to launch a war of attrition.
BRICS is still only in the promising, hopeful stages. For all their progress in international relations, China desperately needs to build a much stronger coalition. They need to go out more, stop studying theory all the time
Also I'll just be real with you. You don't know what China should do. You have opinions on it sure, but the information you have access to is nothing compared to what the people leading China have access to. Lets not try to pretend like any of us could do a better job than what the CPC is doing.
You are experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect. China is led by professional, intelligent, and capable communists who put all of us on this site to shame. I garuntee they have a better grasp of what needs to be done than any of us do to achieve victory.
You should go read some of the statements put out by the CPC some time. They are very informative. China is not sitting idly just because they arent launching dongfengs at the empire. We must trust our Chinese comrades because frankly they are our only hope, and we in the west have failed where they have succeeded time and again. We should not be telling them what to do but looking to them for guidance instead.
I understand you mean well, but seriously just realize how much you are not aware of. The CPC has an entire intelligence apparatus. They know more than we do. They have more expertise. Its time we in the west realized these things, and started acting like what we are. Failures who China is going to have to come save.
They need to go out more, stop studying theory all the time
We wont really be in the war period imo until its a hot war between China and the US. The smaller wars we see now are build ups to it. The same thing happened before WW2 you saw smaller conflicts that got more common or grew larger until it was a whole world war. Im still waiting for the US to invade mexico to be the germany invades poland moment.
The west is gunning for them, and trump/US is very willing to launch a war of attrition.
The west is still too reliant on China to gun for them, honestly. Half of goods have still been excepted from the 'tariff war', and the other half are just being shipped through or to other western countries with a minimal reduction in profit. Europe if anything is embracing China as an economic ally. There is no real attrition war here.
That's the problem with "Do Nothing, Win". You get addicted to doing nothing.
I'm kind of only half-joking. Reality is China is on a guaranteed course to become the world superpower, I don't suppose they're eager to change course.
You know, how about we wish for a radical flank effect thing.
You know, even in Cold War times, the Soviet Union initially didn't help for shit much. One of its key driving forces to pro-Soviet intervention was, really, its more revolutionary yet weaker smaller militant partners dragged them along, like Cuba in Latin America, or China in East Asia, regarding the Korean War.
The thing is, we don't have such radical forces, domestic or international, to push more revolutionary goals
Chinese people don't want it. Like even if most are pro-Palestine, I don't believe they're willing to sacrifice their current material comforts with open conflict with the west, especially if it appeared to be due to China's actions rather than attack from outside.
China's a democracy, but Chinese people aren't all ideological socialists, so what's the government to do?
Treatlerism with Chinese Characteristics?
its purging time
fourth international of BRICS
not even half of BRICS is socialist so I'm afraid this is revisionism comrade
Most people want a confortable status quo, China has this, they successfully updated to the XXIst century with a big cool revolution and now they're interested in enjoying life under the current better-yet-imperfect system
During the first cold war, the US made a successful rhetorical pitch by framing capital and its institutions as the calm, rules-based approach to international relations. Despite how much that is not actually the way the US empire operates when rubber hits the road, it has appeal because broadly that's what people want from international institutions. They want calm. They want to be told that level heads are prevailing, that tomorrow is going to look like today.
After the last few decades (and especially with Trump making waves), that desire is still there but more and more people recognize that the US cannot, and has not, delivered. Calm boring BRICS, quietly spinning up its wheels, can make (and maybe even fulfill) that promise.
