Mainland China Travelogue
Here’s an interesting blog by one Promethean Antagonist, Beijing Travel Essay. As a student of East Asian affairs, I’m often amazed at how much of the stuff we buy comes from a nation that is at heart a Communist dictatorship that slaughtered 3000 of their own people instead of reforming 15 years ago. Money quote:
By the look of high polished suburban materialism around me, I figured that
it would be just a matter of time before this hard-line society dissolved into
the more moderate temperament that the Bourgeoisie seems to spontaneously
catalyze. (All those “ignorant” middle class “masses” seem to produce a more
comfortable way of life overall to the one’s ruled over by intellectual thugs -
“philosopher kings")
