They weren’t worked to death tho.

The whole thing was a make work program on one side and a pacification program on the other.

The former because work happened during the flodding season, when no farming could be done. Thus the peasants had no income otherwise.

The latter because it kept the peasants busy, thus unlikely to become unruly. In addition peasants developped a personal connection to public works, having took part in their creation.

The workers were paid, had healthcare and free housing. In addition, the first documented workplace strike happened on such a project.

Also, them being burried alongside the pyramids did not equate them being burried at their office. Being burried next to the pyramids was otherwise a privilege for nobility and priesthood.

It might suprise you, but entertainment products are always propagandistic. A good example is the entire CoD series which glorifies western militaries and demonizes its enemies, going so far as to pin western warcrimes on other countries. Hint: Not Russia invaded Iraq, it was the USA. So the mowing down of a entire high speed road full of people, known as the “highway of death”, was done by the USA.

Or the wonderfull Hearts of Irons 4, which depicts Stalins supposed paranoia as game mechanic, but conveniently “left out” the Holocaust and the genocidal aspect of the entire operation Barbarossa. Guess it’s easier to play Germany when the game does not tell you what your victory means for tens of millions. Hint: These millions get exterminated to make space for german settlers.

Or the always cherished Hollywood with all its movies somehow making the US the good guy, might be related to all the US army toys they get to show in their movies. Which is the case, they get to use the toys, but have to make government approved stories.

“Propaganda” ultimately is a synomym for “advertisement”, the preferability or desireability of a product, narative or ideology is advertised to the recipient. Regarding entertainment products, obviously the views, ideas and ideology of the creators are advertised to the consumer. It is propagandized, so to say. These things might be beign, neutral or heinous. But propaganda in any case.

So per definition everything is propaganda. Welcome to reality, I hope you enjoy your stay.

Ok, clown.

Less data siphoned off to the USA. Less markets for a US company. One avenue less for western propaganda.

Based.

Assuming China wants to control the western world or any world at all shows how you have no idea what you’re talking about.

It might suprise you, but not everyone is the USA.

Nah it would be better.

Of course you are operating under the childish assumption that either of them would act like the USA, which is nonsense. Neither ever did so in their history. Russia was always happy to stay to itself and be secure, that meant you had a great neighbour and trade partner if you did not fuck with it. China could have conquered most of its neighbours multiple times it its history, but rarely ventured out of what are now the chinese borders, historically extremely defensive and trade oriented.

meanwhile the USA has been at peace for less than 15 years during its entire history. Of all those wars, almost all were ones of aggression.

You compare two sane people to a frothing berserker yelling “MAIM! KILL! BURN! LOOT!” ad infinitum.

Not that Klanada is better.

The USA would, however, also see that the USA is thoroughly anti-communist and corrupt as hell, so the USA would just the buy out the politcal leadership of the USA to turn the USA a disposable puppet state

The specific problem with both systems is that only one of them actually exists. The chinese one is not a thing.

Considering the brits alone managed to kill 100 million people in India alone over a span of 30 years, I think you are mistaken. Capitalism is a mass murder machine.

Ah yes, famous invasions during the 90s. Where NATO expanded a shitload after promising not to.

Also your knowledge of these events is lackluster. Gerogia attacked Russia, not the other way around (one couldsay Russia over reacted, but that does not change the fact who initiated hostilities). Chechnya was a civil war (a country can’t invade itself). Crimea seceeded. So all of your examples are wrong.

Oh and Russia asked to join NATO in the eaely 2000s. Got denied.

IF you want to go further back it gets even better. NATO was founded before the Warsaw Treaty Org, the latter was founded after the USSR asked to join NATO and was denied.

You are correct that NATO is a anti soviet/anti russian alliance, but not for the reasons you think.

Decades prior.

Fun fact : The rebells in Star Wars were modelled after the Viet Minh, the Empire after the USA.

The “territory” you’re looking for is called NATO. Its members totally join on their own free will, please ignore the regime changes that happen almost always before a country joins.

Most of the evaportaion happened post 1991. I wonder if something important happened. Oh yes, the USSR dissolved.

You can alos check Prolewiki for more stuff: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Wikipedia It’s written by communists so mind the specific lingo used. Quite a few interesting footnotes for anyone interested tho.

At least that is the PR.

It all goes out of the window as soon as politcal events are concerned, then it is just western naratives all over. With things as sources, good sources, multiple viewpoints all forgotten. What the west says is treated as gospel. While paid editors up to and including state actors rule the site. The system of nerds correcting each other is then used to prevent corrections.

You did not " not share my exact thoughts", you did not even grasp the topic. In the former there is some overlap and some deviation. In the latter there is no overlap.

1. Communist Party of China. The vanguard party of the chinese proletariat, made up of scientific, revolutionary socialists (commuinists).
2. That person was a ultraleftist. In other words a person who treats communist theory as religion, not science. Their opinion goes against the one of over 90 million communists of the CPC alone.

1. These countries never claimed to be communist. They called and call themselves socialist.
2. All of them Were and are Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Which can be noticed by billionaires getting sentenced to death for real evil shit, instead of going free like in out Dictatorships of the Bourgoisie. I recommend Lenins “State and Revolution” as a easy introduction.
