I’m glad you agree. I’m not a Marxist-Leninist by the typical usage on the internet, I’m much more of an Open Marxist, and I think actual discussion of China and any other AES’s faults is necessary for a healthy community.

Yeah, Risk Labor as a concept is just simply capitalist apologia, no other way to describe it. I know China was founded on the union of the four classes, including the bourgeoisie, but at this stage allowing any capitalists into the CCP is straight up betrayal.

I really wish there were more discussion of the topic. I think too often communist spaces can be so focused on geopolitical strife or following a specific historic line that analysis of these modern and extremely pressing issues just isn’t available.

I’m interested in why you say there aren’t any resource issues. For example, if every person on earth were to live like an average American we would need something like 5 earths for all of the resource inputs and land usage. I see many, from socdems to purported marxist-leninists (really patsocs) saying that we must spread American living across the world, and it’s simply not feasible.

Absolutely agree that borders being abolished is a bare minimum to help with these issues.

I’m still making my way through Tears of the Kingdom. I liked Breath of the Wild, but didn’t love it. But the world feels much more alive in this new game. I’m at like 100 shrines completed and I’ve still only done one dungeon 😅
