i really liked this article. i’m pretty sure i’ve read it before but it was a good reminder.
something’s that stuck out to me was that he understood the material conditions of china really well. he mentioned how he doubts china would have survived june 4th without reform and opening up. he understood that capital wasn’t an inherently evil thing, contrary to moralism, and that it was something to be used to improve the lives of the chinese people.
another thing is it’s interesting to see “left” as what we refer to as ultras and “right” as well capitalist in general. it does make sense to see those things from their perspective having a socialist government though.
good read!
