So, the fascism seen in history is just a taste of what will happen with the collapse of capitalism

As for what that girl took from me," he writes, "that is something I understood long afterward. She took from me the belief that absolute evil exists in this world, and the belief that I was avenging it and fighting against it. For that girl, I embodied absolute evil.

Yea. In addition to the other responses, you also have to change your diet. You have to count macros and try to hit your protein target.

The answer is no, because of the fundamental differences in how Japan and China are run.

Japan is modeled off of a capitalist imperialist economy, similar to the US. And as such, it will stagnate and requires imperialism and increasing levels of exploitation to maintain its economy. It does not have the tools or methodology to develop further without imperialism. And thus, it stagnates.

Meanwhile, China is socialist. It uses dialectical materialism to solve social issues and promote cohesion. And instead of profit, it will seek to optimize material conditions, and identify the barriers to doing so, creating a strategy for development. Through Marxian economics, it understands that productivity comes through cooperation and labour, and not profit. Optimization can be performed throughout the supply chain through central planning.

China runs under C—>M—>C, while Japan runs under M—>C—>M.

China does have problems but it also has the tools to solve them, instead of just sweeping it under the rug.

The DPRK isn’t ML, and hasn’t been for like 40 years. They’re kind of doing their own thing.
