  • Memory prices tipped to fall as China starts flooding the market with DRAM and NAND chips

  • Yeah there may be an overlap. But the 10 million deaths from starvation and preventable disease is the worldwide number (and may actually be an underestimate according to that source), while the 38 million deaths from sanctions is just in sanctioned countries.

    1. Xianjiang
    2. Hong Kong
    3. Tiananmen Square (Also, Tiananmen happened 37 years ago, it can hardly be called current)

    These links may provide you with more information than you previously had regarding common criticisms of China. Read them with the understanding that if you live in the West, your prior information has been heavily propagandized, misconstrued, or outright fabricated.

    As for US tech atrocities, how about aiding and abetting the actual genocide that is happening in Gaza?

  • AOC takes more steps toward 2028 run for president

  • Voting for a lesser evil only legitimizes evil. I suppose it’s too much to ask for people to have principles though. Our childhood heroes would be ashamed of the adults we have become.

    “We should all swear fealty to Saruman, because technically he’s less evil than Sauron.”

    To be clear, I’m not talking about AOC, I think she has learned the error of her vote to fund the Iron Dome. But my point stands with regards to any corporate Dem.

  • Does a good country that constantly does horrific things make them bad?

  • Memory prices tipped to fall as China starts flooding the market with DRAM and NAND chips

  • Not nearly as bad as the US/Western Bourgeois. 10 million people die every year from starvation and preventable disease. These deaths can be tied directly to the system of capitalism that uses state imperialism to exploit global south countries, keeping them impoverished, and then withholding food and medicine because it is not profitable to send aid to the countries they have ravaged. The United States alone has killed a further 38 million people in the last 50 years through economic sanctions based on ideological differences.

    Even if you believe the most extreme estimates of deaths caused by the Chinese government, and fully attribute them to malice instead of a combination of incompetence and natural famine cycles, the number of people who died is dwarfed by the ongoing slaughter of capitalism.

  • I do look at history. As in actual history and not the propaganda they teach in high school and broadcast on TV.

  • China’s price for foreign aid is almost always lower than Western capitalists’. It’s why their belts and roads initiative and BRICS have been so insanely successful.

  • Cuba doesn’t need agricultural equipment, it needs oil, which the US is preventing it from getting. Since China doesn’t have oil, it is massively building out Cuba’s solar capacity. In the meantime, they are delivering life-sustaining shipments of food.

    You seem to be very misinformed about which governments are helping the Cuban people, and which are harming. Cuba wouldn’t need any of this help without US sanctions.

    (And ironically, the situation you are describing aligns almost precisely with how USAID functioned before Trump destroyed it.)

  • Kinda wild how you’re hypothesizing about the Cuban government rationing food based on ideology when the US is literally doing exactly that with the explicit goal of creating as much misery as possible.

    Relevant detail: in the last 50 years the US has murdered 38 million people through the use of economic sanctions on its ideological enemies.

  • Believe me, 90% of the people who own giant trucks out here don’t need them either. But yeah, I don’t really care what you do on private property, just think this is kinda hilariously sad.

  • Well a funny thing about off-shoring your economy is that it really just means exploiting people in countries that can't stand up to your imperial might. So it inevitably creates enemies. Now you have no economy at home AND the rest of the world hates you! Double stupidity!

  • Surplus value

    Jump

  • The cool thing about socially necessary labor is that is also includes the value added by our ancestors, like the infrastructure built or the technology researched over generations. We literally can’t build a modern house without the contributions of the entirety of humanity throughout history.

    Of course, the logical conclusion to this is that any commodity cannot be claimed by any one person, and ownership must be claimed by humanity as a whole. An individual may use the product, but for example, the owner of the construction company has no moral claim on the house that his workers built.

  • I trust the Chinese government more than American tech corporations. One side is socialist, the other side is fascist.

    What are your thoughts on people who are against pacifism?

    Jump

  • Changing the socioeconomic system so that bad actors are not incentivized would go a long way. Remove the profit motive, and these greedy psychopaths are reduced to mere assholes, who can safely be ignored.

  • Not really that crazy considering that the US’s entire economy is based around figuring out how to sell Chinese goods.
