Party members are encouraged to report misconduct to the party’s circuit inspection teams, which investigate corruption and have been responsible for the downfall of many senior officials. The new rules also officially incorporate references to Xi Jinping “Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era“, as the leader’s ideology is officially known – a concept that has already been written into the constitution. In addition to running the government, party members also fill the top jobs in universities, scientific institutes, hospitals, the military and many private companies. READ MORE

Max Forrester Eastman Witnessed the Failure of Socialism
Karl Marx devoted “his life to proving that this mysteriously un-analyzable object, social life, or society, is destined by the inner law of its being to contradict itself (the class struggle) and resolve the contradiction in a higher unity (the co-operative commonwealth).

Proponents of “The Great Reset” argue that the pandemic proves our former society “doesn’t work,” so we need a tech-focused, “sustainable” future to reduce emissions and thereby “save the planet.” They seem to be telling themselves — and may even truly believe — that they are “saving the planet,” so the ends justify the means.
