When I look at other communist nations, they were invaded, couped, and/or sabotaged at every opportunity, and (forgive me, my history of China is weak) while I’m sure that China faced obstacles from capitalists outside of the country, it somehow rose up to be the power that it is today while the USSR fell, Vietnam and Korea got bombed to hell and back, Cuba was put under crippling sanctions, and surely countless other uprisings got squashed young.
But china didn’t just survive, they thrived. How?
You’re fine, I had t had breakfast either so I definitely acted like an asshole. It’s just frustrating to broadly generalize with a disclaimer and still catch it.
The thing I didn’t say was that Stalin had no choice but to bring em home and the ideology I link that decision to and its consequences are not an indictment of him.
It’s just that often times decisions of state aren’t really made freely and except for certain circumstances, super deterministic systems tend to inherit a powerful inertia.
Well I hope you had a very nice breakfast though. I enjoyed my crunchy deep fried potato chunks and orange.
I had a couple of hot dogs and a half gallon of sweet tea. Bout to eat an orange though. You save and candy your peels?
I ate out for the first time in months so sadly no. I do however have a giant jar of sliced and diced up lemons, ginger slivers, and cinnamon soaking in honey and sugar as a jar of pre-made tea mix. Sorta similar since I eat the entire pile of lemon ginger mush after drinking a cup of the tea. But that’s a once in a while treat because that’s so much sugary goodness!
I’m gonna start doing that. Hell yeah.
