''The Communist Party issued a detailed ideological statement on Friday in Qiushi, the party’s main official theoretical journal, that made clear that it expected banks, pension funds, insurers and other financial organizations in China to follow Marxist principles and pay obedience to Mr. Xi.'' All the criticism leveled at China results from the ''follow Marxist principles'' aspects of the Qiushi statement. US imperialism and its lackeys can't abide the fact that Xi and the CP are determined to keep China on the socialist road, that China is building and consolidating a socialist state and is not on the road to repeat the mistakes made by the Soviet Union that led to a capitalist restoration.
Political and cultural commentary based on a world view shaped by the works of Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Averroes, Maimonides, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Sartre and Bertrand Russell "What is the use of studying philosophy if all that it does for you is to enable you to talk with some plausibility about some abstruse questions of logic, etc., and if it does not improve your thinking about the important questions of everyday life, if it does not make you more conscientious."-Wittgenstein

New German Left Party
''Perhaps surprisingly for a left-wing politician, the economy is the first and most important.'' Surprisingly!" Any real left is based on Das Kapital --the rest are pseudo-left windbags and that's why they don't have the votes. The entire basis of capitalist society is founded on economics and if you don't focus on economic exploitation and the class struggle it generates, the root of all other oppressions, you are just prattling petty bourgeois nonsense. Even so, the Germans should know better than to build a political party around an individual as their previous effort did not have a salutary historical outcome.
