Is China actually winning… or are they winning at propaganda?

In this week’s vid, we dive into the feeling many Americans are having lately. Looking at China’s infrastructure, manufacturing, social media, tech, and economy and wondering if China is really living in the future while we’re stuck in the 20th century.

Why is this Chinese propaganda so effective? Is it because the American institutions have lost public trust? Are theirs really any better?

    Of course. Socialism requires thinking beyond the future. You have to operate at a level where not only has the future already happened, but you are now thinking into its future. You take the future for granted and determine future action from that.

    Honestly it isn’t so much Chinas propaganda but the West shitting its pants, taking a hand full and rubbing itself all over and then going ‘I am zeh Hitler’. It really is hard to lose against that. Like you have to try hard.

    Edit: I don’t want to take Chinas achievements away. It is just, you don’t have to believe to see the west faltering.
