It is interesting to see a reverse of the Soviet situation where it’s the Communist country with the “blue jeans” and a capitalist one missing out on them.
For sure, we’re basically leaving through the reverse of USSR collapse here. China is rapidly outpacing US economically, it dwarfs US industrial base, and it’s now pushing the bleeding edge of technology. Meanwhile, US is having compounding social and economic problems internally while being mired in forever wars around the globe.
Waiting for that moment where three military dudes meet in the middle of a field to illegally dissolve the country for personal benefits. Only this time it’s gonna be better for humanity.
Instead of Eastern Europe turning into a bunch of dysfunctional capitalist countries, you get North America turning into a bunch of highly functional socialist ones. Texas will be our version of Belarus, hanging on to a bunch of capitalist systems in defiance of the trend.
She says it at about 42 minutes in this video. Listening to what she says in that section of the video, she’s 100% Deng-pilled except that she wants to do it to protect capitalism instead of protecting a proletarian revolution.
They’re hanging on to the “Chinese products are cheap and unsafe, so it is still better to buy American-made” line like it’s a lifesaver.
I still see people say things like “Wait til Huawei makes the shitty knock off of <insert tech device here>” like they aren’t doing their own R&D and making better tech.
BYD seems to be making inroads in my country, I test drove one and it was great. Most people I have talked to don’t even care where it was made, they just see it as a good car. The government is still pretty protectionist, but the consumer ultimately just wants the best product.

Socialism is the superior system.
Is this a deep fake?
Too good to be true. The queen of neoliberalism admitting this?

She admit it! Seriously tho it is very real.
“Are we in a crisis of democracy?” Asks the mf Lord.

I’ve seen Tesla buyers talk about going out of their way to source one made in China rather than one made in the US due to quality concerns.
I think China is now hitting the point where “made in China” is considered neutral or even good by many people, like what Japan and Korea experienced.
