An army of nearly 200,000 Chinese laborers had been sent to Europe during the war. --Harold R. Isaacs, The Tragedy of the Chinese Revolution I am reading a copy online; had a xeroxed copy a couple decades ago but it's long gone. Went to Facebook to see if any of my commie friends could provide me with the fifth sentence, etc. Paizonians trolled me. Here is Comrade Samnell's offering: "We were about fifty miles out from Shanghai when Mao dropped some bad acid and started ranting about how people could make steel in their back yards." And another, from Kruelaid, I believe his Paizonian handle is: "His followers prostrated themselves, gibbering among themselves and nodding." They each received an invitation to the Fun-Timey Reeducation Through Labor Supercenter.
All hail Grandfather Pei Thought!
As the All-Purpose Asian Stalinist Avatar of Comrade Anklebiter, I'm going to have to say that I exult in the growth of the People's Republic of China and can only hope with bated breath that Donald Trump further hastens the fall of Yankee imperialism.
I disagree.
Ah, good times. I hear Trump wants to collect Cambodia's "debts" from when you Yankees installed Lon Nol.
What I saw on the news today suggested that the next likely president of South Korea will be Moon Jae-in, the chief of staff under the previous president at the end of the Sunshine Policy years. That being said, I'm only posting because the removal of the South Korean president reminds me that it's been a while since I made a witch post.
I haven't read this article yet, but the most intriguing story I heard on the news today was about the assassination of Kim Jong-Un's estranged elder half-brother. From what little I heard, his estranged elder half-brother was estranged ever since he defected to the Wes--well, East, I guess--after getting caught trying to visit Tokyo Disneyland with forged papers. Life...
Reposted from the Paizo International Film Festival Thread: Foreign Fantasy Film Department The latter had flashback scenes to when two of the tomb raiders were Red Guards in the Cultural Revolution. Flashback scenes include a bunch of ardent Maoists waving their Little Red Books at ghosts and chanting "We are materialists and materialists are fearless" before they get ripped to shreds. Also, the way to propose marriage in this movie is to ask "Would you like to sublimate our innocent comradeship in revolution?"
They were such a cute couple.
Tell us how you really feel about the RNC and Trump, China Cursory googling indicates you're wrong about Red China
In fact, public awareness of Tibet in general rises and falls with the periodic anti-China demonization campaigns conducted by the U.S. State Department and its agents. --Heather Benno, "Tibet, imperialism and the right of self-determination" in China: Revolution and Counterrevolution, edited by Andy McInerney
One, two, many defeats for U.S. imperialism! Vive le Bachuan!
Workers making Nike and Adidas shoes in Vietnam go on strike – video And, yes, when I wear sneakers, I wear Converse All-Stars.
Woops, grabbed wrong article about China:
I recently saw Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons which was the best film about attaining enlightenment that I have seen in a while.
Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons This was really, really good. I had never heard of it, but all D&D fans should watch this if they haven't already. Even had a useful lesson for all the shy boys and girls on how women can make the first advances.
Down with the NatBos and the Red-Browns! Defend and extend the gains of '49! Oust the Princelings! Expropriate the Hong Kong bourgeoisie! Workers of South Korea, rescue your brothers and sisters from Juche barbarism! Overthrow the chaebols! For revolutionary reunification! For a giant post-revolutionary orgy where we can let it all hang out! Socialism will get everybody laid! Vive le Bachuan!
Today (or some point this month) is the 80th anniversary of the start of the Long March Maoist stooge!
And some articles about Hong Kong that I haven't quite digested yet: Black vs. Yellow: Class Antagonism and Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement
Thank you Citizens Oak and Orf, I was wondering where I was going to put this: "Signs the mammoth property bubble is finally bursting belie Beijing’s upbeat GDP data" Apparently, the era of ghost cities is coming to a close. What international capitalism is going to do next, I have no idea. Also, apparently, China made more cement in 2011-12 than the United States made in the whole 20th century. Also, also, apparently, in the six years since the 2008 crash they have built 200 million housing units which, apparently, is 1.5 the total existing housing stock in the United States. Interesting shiznit.
Christians Call Out Hobby Lobby For Hypocrisy "'You cannot call your business "Christian" when arguing before the Supreme Court, and then set aside Christian values when you're placing a bulk order for cheap wind chimes,' wrote Christian author and columnist Jonathan Merritt in a recent article for The Week."
No worries. I was in upstate New York last summer. I am sorry, too...
Live free or die!
Canadian noise rockers Viet Cong I have consistently enjoyed their links that you have posted and I'm not just saying that because I have an appropriate avatar.

Buy American Feel free to keep purchasing Paizo products printed in the PRC, gwailos. Somebody's got to pay for all the schools being built in Africa.
I read somewhere that there are an estimated 500 strikes, riots and/or protests every day in China. The article didn't say, though, who was doing the estimating. Comrade workers of China: Never forget the martyrs of Tiananmen! Oust the Princelings! For workers revolution!
Wisconsin has North Korean-flag-waving Stalinists? [Books a ticket]
Took me about 40s to find this. ;) Comrade Anklebiter sent me in here with this note that reads: UPDATE II: In response to my question about whether any U.S. television hosts issued denunciations of the attack on Iraq similar to what Martin just did on RT, Washington lawyer Bradley Moss replied: “Phil Donahue (MSNBC) and Peter Arnett (NBC).” The note then goes on to be somewhat indecipherable, something like Razzlefrazzlearglebargle? He also sends this interesting article from Haaretz:
Who are you talking to?
I've got a research assignment for you. The subject is "Tuaregs". I'll check back in in a couple of days after I've read the new issues of Granma Internacional and Izvestiya.
Comrade Anklebiter asked me to tell you that, on the off-chance his posts contributed to your head explosion, to see below. If not, he says, nevermind. Spoiler:
--- Don't get me wrong, Sexy Putin out!!, but I don't see how the US is gonna win an image war. --- Russia: Out of Ukraine! America: Bloody Hands Off the World! Smash Russian and US Imperialism through Workers Revolution! --- Down with Sexy Putin! (Britishiznoid, but still)
"'You just don't in the 21st Century behave in 19th Century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped-up pretext,' Mr Kerry told the CBS program Face the Nation." [Laughs until he passes out]
I don't know. Sounds alright to me. Pinkskins out! Vive le Bachuan!

Brothers and sisters of South Korea, save North Korea from the barbarism of juche, the betrayals of the PRC and the unremitting hostility of US imperialism! For Revolutionary Reunification!
And with South Korea attacking its rail workers' union and throwing dissidents in jail for plotting "armed rebellion" the time for revolutionary reunification is now! Comrades, overthrow the chaebols in the South and the Kims in the North! For international proletarian socialist revolution! Vive le Grandfather Pei Thought!
South Korean lawmaker Lee Seok-ki jailed for plotting armed rebellion South Korea Rail Workers Strike against Privatization For Revolutionary Reunification! Vive le Bachuan!
So I saw the headline when the newsstory first was going 'round in the bourgeois press, but even they were skeptical saying it came from an anti-NK faction of the CCP paper, but, uh, did Kim III really have his uncle torn apart by ravenous dogs? 'Cuz that's not Grandfather Pei Thought at all.
China's Female Millionaires are in a Matchmaking Frenzy Kinda old, but still fascinating.
