Something something a law that binds some and offers no protection to, and a law that protects some while not binding them

The “topic” is a naked propaganda article loosely related to linguistics, whose aim is not to inform about policy changes that might impact minority language teaching but to smear China as a dictatorship. Either delete the post as it is clearly barely on-topic as is, or let people discuss its shortcomings.

Any discussion on the PRC’s policy regarding minority language teaching that tries desperately to hide the fact that the PRC has some of the most progressive affirmative action for minorities to maintain their culture and language roots has got a clear and obvious agenda. The article can’t even help but concede that this, potentially (in the way the author has decided to frame the policy), is a retreat from the PRC’s original and historic position of minority language dominance in minority ethnic regions. It falls back on interpreting a part of the potential policy that is to be debated at congress as “criminalising advocacy of ethnic minority rights”, the title of the post itself, which is an absolute reach and completely poisoning the framing of the discussion.

Slop that refuses to acknowledge how the Congress system actually functions, trying to make out that the Central Committee dictates policies to Congress instead of the other way around.

This is Chinese democracy in action and these worms want to pretend like Xi Jingping himself sets the legislative agenda. Just vile, overt propaganda.

Even if this policy is regressive on the previously first-class affirmative action policies set by the early PRC, you can barely trust anything written in this article with its complete inability to describe the truth and how the PRC actually functions.

This is basically the rhetoric used by my local Trotskyists in “support” of Venezuela against the US kidnapping of Maduro.

You could start by joining your local Cuba solidarity campaign group online then attending their meetings. That’s a good babysteps easy and concrete thing you could try.

Best bet right now is join and be active in your trade unions and local community/hobby groups, with a view to finding like-minded people and making new like-minded people. From there, book clubs etc. can be organised with interested people, and the skeleton of the party form can be constructed. As you may have already found out, not all CPB comrades are reactionary, and it may be worth continuing to work in a limited capacity with them on local issues and in national pressure groups like the Palestine and Cuba solidarity campaign groups, Stop the War coalition and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. There’s a lot of space for organising on socialist issues not as a member of a particular party in Britain, which does owe to the considerable effort put in by those same parties that do take reactionary lines. These ‘united front’ style entities exist precisely because the parties want to ensure that on specific issues people can be aligned without needing to agree on absolutely everything else.

Trotskyist cut out from the old IMT, or Socialist Appeal as their newspaper was called.

NATO membership makes us unsafe. We’re closer to war with every US enemy because of our membership of this club. You can’t think NATO is anything but a destabilising element in world geopolitics when its main military force is constantly invading, bombing and funding fascist death squads in the global south.

Likewise, nuclear arms only keep us “safe” because the US are psychopathic nut jobs who’ve actually used the bomb before. Nobody else wants them, but keeps them because the US have an itchy trigger finger and are desperate to do regime change when things don’t go their way. Global disarmament of nukes is the safest global option, and the main entities preventing that right now are the US and its NATO allies.

Making your own decks with Anki is meant to be supplementary: you read or watch something in your target language and note down a few sentences you didn’t understand, then write them up into double sided flash cards, optionally with where you got the sentence from.

This helps build relationships between both the language and the context you saw it in to help strengthen the initial learning.

Basically the core ideas of Monism. Spinoza big basis for this line of philosophical thought.

Big revenues for a company that sells things like cars is not out of the ordinary. If your costs are high then revenue is going to be high.

When the critique is unfounded lies and slander then we can all work out where that shit is coming from. Ask yourself why you would so readily absorb and adopt this nonsense about China, a country you clearly know nothing about.

“Chinese expansionism” lmao the nation that hasn’t been in a war for like 45 years. Chauvinistic racist take.

No, what you want is for Labour to say what you want to hear. They are already saying things that you don’t want to hear and you are acting like it’s some accident and that they should just come to their senses and say the nice liberal things you want them to.

They are vile on immigration because they believe that it appeases a particular bloc of voters and because having scared and compliant legal and illegal migrants means that capital can exploit their labour to even greater extents, in fear they will be deported if they aren’t the model migrant. They are discussing it, regularly, but not in the way you want.

No you aren’t highlighting that. If you were you wouldn’t have laid into consumerism and personal brand signalling as part of commodity fetishism.

Don’t lie when you get called out.
