A spectre is haunting China and it’s me, I’m back babyyyy

[–] AlpineSteakHouse@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Unironically great, I've been trying to integrate traditional Chinese philosophy and religion with my communist views for a long time now actually.

I've talked about this a bit on here but I think the metaphor of Taoism is correct even if the underlying explanation isn't. You can explain to children how gravity and shit works and how that causes the seasons but it's just fucking numbers. You tell them that Persephone is in Hades and Demeter is mourning her absence and they understand it perfectly. Now obviously the gods aren't literally real but meaning is often better explained by metaphor than science.

It's my sincere belief that there is lots of meaning in religion and philosophy that has yet to be discovered by science. Scientists discover universal principles, poets explain them.

on the contrary, bill nye perfectly explained axial tilt causing seasons to millions of children, and that greek myth shit is needlessly complicated and stupid as hell compared to "look at ball tilt"

a garden is perfectly beautiful on its own without talking about faeries instead of the nitrogen cycle

Anything you recommend reading if I want to explore the intersection of Taoism and Marxism?

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (8 children)

Can tell you that Mao created a Criticize lin, criticize Confucius campaign. Westerners take this as destroying eastern religions, but on the contrary it was designed to center Marxist aspects of specific religions in discussions and teachings. Essentially it was an extension of liberation theology

So many smug fascists in that thread, not surprising though

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Alright, now if they could just stop expanding the private sector . . .

and kill some more billionaires

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Internally inconsistent ideology. You must keep creating billionaires so that you have a sustainable supply of billionaires to execute.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Communism doesn't work because it requires infinite executions in a finite-billionaire world.

I have good news on that front comrade.

Only time will tell if the trend continues though.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

I appreciate the good news

Libs: "China is a Han supremacist ethnostate that seeks to destroy all people of different ethnicities."

China: "Karl Marx is Chinese."

This looks like it's supposed to be a comedy sketch show. I'd watch if it were.

They digitally animated his mouth and beard. sadness

Mr. Xi, please hear me out. If the downtrodden people of the west saw practical effects and squibs reemerge in Chinese film and television, global capitalism would crumble in an instant. xi

Cool! I should check if public broadcasting where I live is trying to integrate Chinese philosophy with Marxism!

[–] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

I hope this is good and on youtube with eng/ru subtitles

Super exciting to see. Can't help but feel like the picture looks like The Masked Singer if it was actually good lol
