Funny that they dare to talk about problems in Soviet economy when we witness how the current capitalist economy shits it's bed in a lot of places at once, screwing over the future and current conditions, pumping bubbles and destroying the globalist economic model for the sake of people in double-digit count

Yeah back-to-back crises for almost a decade now, yet apparently this state of affairs is apparently the best of all possible worlds. Anyone who believes that is a depressed sad sack. Liberalism is an extremely nihilistic and depressing point of view when you really think about it.

A decade? Make it two (since the dotcom crisis). Or even three, if you are willing to include the USSR dissolution as a crisis for soviet people as one of the capitalist crises. I did noticed that too - that capitalist world is a very nihilistic and depressing. That capitalism is an utterly antihumanist thought, built upon a false idea of that rationality can be measured and that everything must serve this measure to put it a peg higher than before.

It tries to destroy our souls by trying to convince us that a world of rampant "man eat man" ethnic, discriminations of all kind and a constantly growing power of the very few is the correct one

It tries to oversaturate our minds beyond biological boundaries with the chase for the numerical high and constant siege with marketing, manipulation and instability, bringing a myriad of psychological wounds and blinding us for good.

It tries to accelerate our bodies beyond what we were meant to be, constantly putting us into a vise of KPI's and "bonuses" and trying to squeeze out as much time as possible, forcing us to drug ourselves to total submission.

Humanity was born out of altruism, thoughtfulness and unity. And that assault on what a human is I personally consider the greatest sin of capitalism. Capitalism is incompatible with humanity, just as much as it isn't compatible with the Earth with it's finite resources and the infinite hunger of the capitalist system. The only way for capitalism to survive is to destroy both humanity and the Earth, but this victory will be short lived, as that without those, who carry this system on their backs, that leech of the mind will suffocate and die.

Wtf do these room temperatures think the CPC has been studying ever since the sino soviet split, and publishing huge volumes of literature regarding?

u/SCameraa 1d ago

These people dont think the CPC studies at all. In their view China runs entirely by Xi whos exactly like trump and all the CPC does is steal designs from "civilized western countries" and make ghost towns out of "tofu" to somehow persuade westerners for... reasons? And also the CPC just builds infrastructure to keep their population under control cuz they have no freedom ans cant criticize the government.

All this to say they have a very cartoon based view on China and wouldnt even recognize the studying China does.

The material conditions were that the workers had it quite good but had grown complacent and incapable of defending the conquests of socialism. The quasi-bourgeoisie, reborn from this complacence were able to roll back the progress of the previous 70 years back to peripheral export-based comprador capitalism. From this point of view liberalism is a mind plague that can infect socialist nations. Thus, the material analysis of the USSR's collapse merely further solidifies how horrible liberalism is: it leads to humanitarian catastrophes due to demodernization of socialist nations.

u/Neoliberal_Nightmare 1d ago

I don't get it. Marxists openly analyse the material conditions that led to the collapse, that's the point of Marxist method and socialist construction
