Seminars and "Self-criticism" for the Greater Glory of an Autocratic and Dead Ideology
It appears that another great socialist "experiment" is taking another hit. The old farts and bureau-minded fools of China's communist party are trying every last-ditch maneuver they can to hold on to their pathetic delusion of "socialism's superiority."
I'm no fan of the New York Times, but a few weeks back (March 9th) an article appeared on line that made me both laugh and cheer. My laughter was directed at the neo-Comm scum that rules over China. My cheers were for the over one billion people of China who will soon be free to create, strive, and excel as nature affords when one is unimpeded by philosopher kings and bureau-control freaks.
The article I'm noting is; China Attacks Its Woes With an Old Party Ritual
I couldn't help but paste a few noteworthy sentences and phrases from the piece and comment on them. The whole "ritual" described in this article is so akin to some of the nonsense that occurs regularly on college campuses nowadays that I think the coincidence actually reveals the like character of all leftist "philosophies" in general. Yeah Team! Rah Rah worker's paradise! Multicultural egalitarian fun fun! Smiley-face obedience to the sacred church of "progressive" Marxist B.S. is the way to go!
Below; some pasted portions and my response:
"…For 14 months and counting, the party's 70 million rank-and-file members have been ordered to read speeches by Mao and Deng Xiaoping, as well as the numbing treatise of 17,000-plus words that is the party constitution. Mandatory meetings include sessions where cadres must offer self-criticisms and also criticize everyone else."
Seminar Socialism – a leftist bureaucrat's wet dream. An old Mao-style "purge" would probably be more tolerable than some of this dusty nonsense.
" …'It is an effort to cope with the declining reputation of the party and the distrust of the people toward party officials,'…"
You've got to be kidding! After millions of deaths and keeping an entire population prisoner for decades, now (!?) the Communist party's "reputation" is "declining"?
"…But many are distinctly uninspired. Jokes have been circulating mocking the study campaign and many party members privately grumble that it is a pointless waste of time. Web sites offer fake essays that cadres can download to meet homework requirements…."
Awesome! The great infection of bourgeoisie sentiment (and the ability to see through the blatant nonsense of "politically correct" obedience).
"…On the surface, the campaign, known as 'bao xian,' or 'preserving the progressiveness,'…"
A classic Marxist oxymoron. Just like Fidel Castro or Kim Jong Il "continuing the revolution" by freezing their countries into 1950's style Stalinist theme parks.
"…As an example, he described a 75-year-old party member who, on completing the study sessions, volunteered to scrub public toilets…"
That's one really inspired (and stupid) "study session" clone. Another party triumph for the excrement "of the people.".
"…Campaigns of this sort are a legacy of the Chinese Communist Party… "
…and the mindset of all leftist thought – bureau-compulsion and bureau-obedience to drab, sleep- inducing nonsense.
"…Some participants say the campaign has allowed ambitious members to show off in front of their superiors with angry, bombastic displays…"
Always brings out the a_ _ kissers – nothin like power through boot-licking.
"…In February the party's Central Discipline Inspection Commission announced that it disciplined 115,000 party members for corruption in 2005. …"
Yeah, that's really going to turn things around. It's the system itself, idiots! If a centralized one party government has power over citizen's lives, the government bureaucrats will have power and authority – result; corruption – duh…
"…about whether the party was capable of managing an increasingly chaotic country. …"
Meaning, CONTROLING an increasingly independent minded population (that can get by just fine without daddy Marx, Mao, Hu Jintao, or "the party").
"…and strengthen the party organizations to better serve the people…"
…Pleeease….
"…In a posting last year, a prominent Chinese blogger, Keso, said Web sites and bloggers were using the ideological campaign as a money-making opportunity by offering essays customized to a person's party rank. The head of a street committee, for example, can find a fake self-criticism essay tailored to that job and then tinker with it to make it seem original…"
This is just too funny! Thank god people are seeing through this utter nonsense and getting on with their self-interested bourgeoisie capitalist lives!
...Communism, Fascism, Socialism, Leftism in general – peas in a pod of just plain stupidism.
