130 years old but doesn’t look a day above 40
Uncritical support for China lifting 800 million out of poverty
I was saying this to a friend of mine and he was seriously saying stuff like: “oh but with inflation, that means nothing, so it doesn’t count.” I thought. It was one of the most braindead things I ever heard. And so far up anti-China propaganda’s as that the sun doesn’t shine there.

On the twelth day of Maomas a comrade gave to us,
Twelve thousand miles of railroads
Eleven American investors
Ten public companies
Nine rural farm collectives
Eight barefoot doctors
Seven percent party membership
Six landlords lynched
Five stars on the flag!
Four strikes supported
Three volumes of Capital
Two family golden rice bowl jobs
And a Little Red Book by Mao se Tung!
It’s him
So that’s why it’s a bank holiday in Britain.
