  1. Mersheimer is the quintessential example of a thief thinking everyone steals.

  2. Wow, Dr. Rockhill is really astute in his observation on how the American empire function; by pretending very hard that it is not an empire. It's all virtue signalling and huge amount of projection, accusing the others first of their own crimes. I took a college course on US foreign relation history as an elective and the professor posed a question asking if the US is an empire. He spent the whole lecture on how the US cannot be defined as an empire. Looking back, I can see that his arguments are mostly semantics and purity tests, and really do not go into the core of what empires actually are and do. American intelligentsia themselves know that the US is a country of contradictions and I find a lot of them are deliberately blind to American style neocolonialism, financial colonialism, and cultural colonialism and a large part of historical contexts that put America functionally, a defacto empire. Like what Debord expounded in his Society of Spectacle, America is an empire of spectacle.

  4. China is right. They are the best practitioners of Marxist-Leninism and the capitalist imperial forces are trying their best to crush them. The only thing India needs to do, and it won't do, is to humble itself and learn from China and abandon its castle system, its neoliberal capitalist system, and reform itself. But that's a pipe dream.

  5. Choosing between Dems or repub is like choosing between a murd*er that just off you, and another mu*d_rer that off you but put a rainbow flag on your body.

  7.  @sayed-fallschirmjagerdaf4071  You can't reform a bourgeois democracy because it is not a democracy. The US is not a democracy, it is a dictatorship of the bourgeois, the wealthy so whatever you try to do in this system, the moment you threaten the true power structure, you will be hammered into dust.

  8. Because bourgeois democracy is not real democracy. It is a plutocracy in disguise.
