the optimist in me sees that hoxha and the albanian communists rose to prominence espousing albanian nationalism in opposition to the cultural oppression they faced under the ottoman empire :dean-smile:
the doomer sees that hoxha’s fascist opposition also rose to prominence espousing albanian nationalism :dean-frown:
i don’t know enough to even begin to dig deeper :trans-sad: also every single wikipedia page just has a hole in the history from like 1940-1991 :1984:
what is greater albania
suicidality being seen as an individual’s onus and not the brain’s natural response to the torture of late stage capitalism is honestly one of the most insidious tendencies of liberalism.
i wish every capitalist a very nice free euthanasia :trans-gun:
yea i think he is trying to get across that despite being “socialist” the current goal (whether this is the best path or not being unclear obviously) isn’t to redistribute wealth by buttressing people’s material wealth but rather to create robust social systems.
obviously there is extreme wealth disparity if you compare the most economically active to the least economically active and you could argue for much stricter redistribution but im not a chinese demsoc so i assume that they just have a good reason for it :party-blob:
" At the ninth meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Committee, I made a comprehensive deployment of the “dual carbon” work, emphasizing that we must adhere to the principles of national overall planning, conservation priority, two-wheel drive, smooth internal and external, and risk prevention. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has issued opinions on the carbon neutralization work and approved the carbon peaking action plan. Achieving the goal of reaching the peak and carbon neutrality must be firm, but it cannot be accomplished in one go. To be based on national conditions, it is our basic national conditions to focus on coal, and the realization of carbon peaking must be based on this reality. While doing a good job in the clean and efficient utilization of coal, speed up the flexible transformation of coal-fired power units, develop renewable energy, promote the optimal combination of coal and new energy, and increase the consumption capacity of new energy. We must pay close attention to tackling key green and low-carbon technologies and accelerate the promotion and application of advanced technologies. It is necessary to conduct scientific assessments, improve the “dual control” system of energy consumption, create conditions to realize the transition from “dual control” of energy consumption to “dual control” of total carbon emissions and intensity, and accelerate the formation of an incentive and restraint mechanism for reducing pollution and carbon emissions. Relevant departments in all regions should coordinate the work of “dual control” and “dual carbon” to prevent simple decomposition. To ensure energy supply, achieve multi-objective balance, and increase energy supply through multiple channels, large enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, must take the lead in ensuring supply and stable prices, and will never allow major incidents such as large-scale “power outages” to occur again. It is necessary to further promote the energy revolution, promote energy consumption, supply, technology, and institutional reforms, strengthen international cooperation, and accelerate the construction of an energy power."
seems like the power outages he blames on certain people being adventurist on renewable energy? i get that he’s a conservative dude and believes in slow change, but i do wish xi would hit the solarpunk button :bird-mad:
