Re: Communism (and China)
Hi Gemma13,
I believe there is a great misunderstanding on what's going on these days on China, Russia and related countries/regions
As it really stands right now, people on west have continued to believe that "communism" is a thing, and a danger for years and years to come. However, that's not even the case anymore, but please allow me to explain a bit
On Russia, China and other "communist" countries, there is a movement growing, specifically in young people, which is named something like "uber-modernity"
This is kind of communism, or socialistic beliefs, but not quite, it has dropped all they considered caused the last iteration to fail, specifically why the USSR died under its own weight
There are several, multinational groups forming youth armies and reaching into students to teach this new approach to their world view, one that drops all the mistakes from the past, conforms a new view and philosophy around the old principles, while avoiding introducing the mistakes from the past and so on
You can look more into that if you go search for stuff like the "Essence of Time" cult, among several others "youth armies" around those places
*By the way i don't subscribe or belong to any, i just know about them
What i see is this, most people in the west keep looking into communism as a danger, while most eastern young (8 to 28 or so) keep looking into how the communist view is obsolete and retarded, and push for a new view which the west is not even aware of
By the time the west realizes that they were not looking at the right place, it will be too late, because most young people in the east believe the old communist views are done for, and they have their own views, which are not even acknowledged on the west, by own choice, or lack of. There is a complete view which is out of sync with reality
While in the east most people learn about real hard history and prepare for a hard future (see the Russian youth army, or the Nashi), in the US at least more kids the same age can not even write their own language, much less understand implications of wars or politics and so
While in the East a Nashi or youth army kid can disassemble a rifle and reassemble in 30 seconds, in the US kids can only watch Tiktok all day and talk half English written sentences and play with guns on games, while the eastern kids play with real guns and go take advanced classes of history, math and science
Current US army stands around 1+ million soldiers, just alone, in Russia, the youth army is closing in on that number. This means, kids from 8 years to 17 are in the numbers of 800 thousand, all well prepared, all with high education, all ready for combat, and same in China and other eastern countries
And example of this approach to life is something like this
Western kid: 1+1 = 2
Asian kid: 1 is followed by 1.1, then 1.2, then 1.3... and so on, until you reach 2
Discernment among all things, clear understanding of the world is a must, not just to pass an exam, or have a high level view. This applies to every single aspect of life, since it's considered a good practice and commitment to excellence
But this is inheritance of the elders on the west, there's no one else to blame, just to be clear on that and to be just, no one else caused it
I believe, western countries are not even aware of what's really going on in the world. Communism, for the new people on the east, is ridiculously obsolete. Yet look at news channels and papers on western countries, it's funny, they still go by the old standards that matter nothing at all anymore. Once the new generation comes into power in both sides, one will be prepared, the other one will try to apply obsolete knowledge to people that don't even care anymore. That's what "being left behind" looks like in the end
The only reason why western countries believe China is "communist" is because they can't understand what's happening and attempt to apply obsolete views into a country they can't understand at all, and that's why they continue to fall behind year after year. It is obvious if you look from the outside, but lamentably not so for people on the inside
ETA:
I guess what i'm really trying to say is this
IF you would try to apply the current western understanding of communism to your own countries, it would be a total disaster, because even people on China and Russia, just threw it out to garbage bin
In Russia, the Soviets are still around, claiming power and their money back, yet they kept saying back then, that those things did not matter In the end it did matter i guess
The new concepts are completely unknown in western world, and i believe that's why people think those can be applied freely, if possible, however that's not and probably will never be the case "heaven forbid" lol. Repeating the same mistakes of the past is not a good thing to do
Even after tons of decades, there's still a giant confusion about the difference between communism and socialism
