Hmm [none/use name]

Since I’d prefer we keep criticism of AOC accurate and substantive, I think it’s worth noting that she said “Abolish ICE” is still her position a few days ago: https://xcancel.com/AOC/status/2011116393496813639

Thank you for the correction. I’m glad I shared where I got the information from so you could pass this along to them too.

Sorry for being late to reply. I don’t log in to this site too often but I thought I owed you a reply.

I wasn’t talking about China sending troops. I was responding to your question “What do you want from them?” I listed a myriad of non-military bad decisions and paths China chose not to take. Sending troops was never something I proposed in my exchange with you.

A comment on the thread today about news that the US is relocating dozens of fighters to West Asia: https://hexbear.net/post/7297419

From what I heard, they’re preparing a full-frontal assault to Iran.

Edit: There’s no evidence of a significant relocation of US fighters according to @MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net: https://hexbear.net/comment/6819297

I do not believe that continuing marketization of the Chinese economy nor keeping business relations with Israel are necessary or even beneficial towards the end of international socialism’s victory over capitalism.

They could have vetoed the US “peace” plan at the security council.

They could have cut all business relations with the Zionist Entity.

Maybe they could have even twisted Putin’s arm and made him choose between Zionism and continued access to Chinese markets!

Who knows? Perhaps they could have even “ruined Christmas” for the western consumer economies by holding up exports and saying “The presents will stop until the genocide stops. If the people in Bethlehem and the rest of Palestine can’t celebrate Christmas in peace then no trinkets for you.”

There are lots of levers to pull when you are the world’s largest export economy!

But “national development” takes priority over proletarian internationalism. No wonder internationalism is left to ideology grounded in the likes of Islam when the world’s largest “socialist” state continues to show every time it matters that they will do realpolitik for the sake of their capital rather than accept potential economic challenges. Making Chinese middle class incomes continue to grow so they can afford to become car-brained is more important.

Get down to business, all of you! You will have capitalists beside you, including foreign capitalists, concessionaires and leaseholders. They will squeeze profits out of you amounting to hundreds per cent; they will enrich themselves, operating alongside of you. Let them. Meanwhile you will learn from them the business of running the economy, and only when you do that will you be able to build up a communist republic. Since we must necessarily learn quickly, any slackness in this respect is a serious crime. And we must undergo this training, this severe, stern and sometimes even cruel training, because we have no other way out.

You must remember that our Soviet land is impoverished after many years of trial and suffering, and has no socialist France or socialist England as neighbours which could help us with their highly developed technology and their highly developed industry. Bear that in mind! We must remember that at present all their highly developed technology and their highly developed industry belong to the capitalists, who are fighting us.

China has highly developed technology and industry. The conditions for why the NEP was considered necessary are not applicable under these circumstances.

“…the best is about to come”

The UN Security Council adopted a resolution on Monday [17 November 2025] that endorses a peace plan for Gaza put forward by United States President Donald Trump and a temporary international force in the enclave following two years of war.

Resolution 2803 (2025) received 13 votes in favour, and none against, with permanent members China and Russia abstaining.
