the only way to escape economic stagnation is to give more power and property to landlords.

[-] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

That telescope is a nice metaphor for the trajectories of the US and China. The Arecibo Telescope was similar. Built in Puerto Rico on indigenous land and against locals' wishes, it was eventually abandoned to decay there, defunct. No cleanup. It's just there, slowly collapsing, a danger to anyone that would tread on it. The local population has never been compensated. The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, on the other hand, was built recently by China, is larger, is fully functional, and just plain performs better. It incurred the relocation of the people there to nearby towns, but they were very well-compensated, and in fact the costs for relocation were greater than building the telescope itself. They moved from villages without running water or electricity to nice apartments.

Is there a source for this?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

The articles I originally read were Chinese language (translated to English using Google Translate) and I'm having trouble finding them now.

Looking up more info about Pingtang county will probably yield more good info.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
