    Alcoholism and drug addiction

    People largely partake as coping mechanisms or to fit in with groups etc. which would be in their immediate perceived interest of coping, fitting in etc.

    Failure to address global warming?

    Addressing global warming would impact the bottom lines of the capitalist class and thus be against their interest as a class of constant accumulation and expansion to among other things fight the falling rate of profit.

    Nuclear proliferation?

    Having nuclear weapons is directly in the self interest of states that wish to remain sovereign and not be destroyed by the western US lead empire as has been proved repeatedly.

    political class.

    Not a thing. Class is predicated on relation to the means of production mainly the ability/lack there of to privately own productive property and appropriate surplus value as capital.

    So much for the democratic system you claimed existed. It’s almost like that is an inherently failing of Marxis

    I don’t even know what you’re trying to say here. If the USSRs collapse was due to an inherent issue with Marxism why hasn’t the PRC collapsed? Or is it possible the USSR faced challenges unique to their position and situation which lead to stagnation and eventually being pillaged as opposed to some inherent part of Marxism (which you seem incapable of pointing to beyond vague posting).

    No country has ever gone beyond the developing stages of socialism because Marx was wrong.

    If you just say this without elaborating on the how and in what way it’s meaningless. Also Marxism wasn’t jesus or some prophet Marxism doesn’t end with Marx it continues with Lenin Stalin Mao Xi Cheng Xie Losurdo and more who continue to this day to study and develop.

    In the nicest way possible you seem to very clearly have very little idea of what you’re talking about and be way out of your depth leading you to do lots of vague posting.

      They still know it is against their best interests.

      Addressing global warming would impact the bottom lines of the capitalist class and thus be against their interest as a class of constant accumulation and expansion to among other things fight the falling rate of profit.

      See previous answer.

      Having nuclear weapons is directly in the self interest of states that wish to remain sovereign and not be destroyed by the western US lead empire as has been proved repeatedly.

      It is against the best interest of humanity as a whole and we all know it.

      Not a thing. Class is predicated on relation to the means of production mainly the ability/lack there of to privately own productive property and appropriate surplus value as capital.

      It’s a thing in reality. It’s not a thing in Marxism which is another fault of the philosophy. The political class controls the capital that ostensibly belongs to the people. On reality they often wield the power of that capital for their own ends. This is true regardless of the economic system.

      If the USSRs collapse was due to an inherent issue with Marxism why hasn’t the PRC collapsed?

      Because the PRC Isn’t Marxist. It is a totalitarian dictatorship run for the benefit of the ruling class where the people are little more than serfs toiling for their local lords. The whole “communism” thing is an opiate similar to religion which encourages people to make personal sacrifices and not rise up.

      If you just say this without elaborating on the how and in what way it’s meaningless.

      One of the central points of Marxism is that socialism is a transitional phase that leads to communism. This has never happened.

        What is it with you whiteys calling me and my family serfs and your complete lack of understanding of my country. I wish I could understand how you could be so racist and dimwitted while speaking so confidently it’s truly impressive.

        Wow the transition has yet to complete so thus isn’t real. Genuinely impressively dense.

        You really are just coping hard and further proving you have no understanding of Marxism how people view their interests as a class or really anything outside your white liberal bubble.

          Because my country allows free speech and I can speak the truth, unlike you.

              It is an objective fact that Chinese citizens have no right to free speech. Nothing I have said is racist. The fact that you have to resort to personal attacks just shows you know I am right.

                Yeah I guess my visits to the local offices with complaints and criticisms just never happened, I guess the 12345 hotline just doesn’t exist please tell me more white saviour educate me on my country.

                Nothing I have said is racist.

                Nothing racist at all about you spreading orientalist nonsense calling Chinese people serfs and generally being a white saviour pig /s

                The fact that you have to resort to personal attacks just shows you know I am right.

                I’m not “resorting to personal attacks” I just see no need in being polite to chauvinist white saviour pigs who are comfortable with talking down on entire races and ethnicities with unmatched arrogance to accompany their less than 0 understanding.

                  How about you compare Xi to Winnie the Pooh or tell me about what happened in Tienanmen square in 1989.

                    You mean the meme that was originally a pretty innocent picture of Obama and Xi as cartoon characters that western racists then weaponised I think I’ll pass thanks (not really helping your claim that you’re not racist not that you could anyway given it’s clearly true that you’re a sinophobe). I’m sure this will be some gotcha in your mind though. Do you think it was cool and good and funny when trump compared the Obama’s to monkeys? You’re doing the same thing. You should reflect on yourself pig.

                    in Tienanmen square in 1989.

                    In the square itself a peaceful protest peacefully dispersed. Around the city at the same time violent clashes between rioters and the military (acting as riot police). (But I’m sure you’ll simply scream about how I’m brainwashed and a serf etc)

                    Honestly you clearly just want to call Chinese people like myself slurs and wish the worst upon us so why not just do it you massive coward. Afraid if you reveal your true feelings beyond the normalised level of white liberal sinophobia people might stop overlooking it?
