Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I don't think it matters what China wants or thinks right now. The material conditions will force it to export revolution or give up communism, when they start their plan to socialise the economy they will either realise that for it to work there needs to be a concerted effort to create worldwide socialism or they will give up on it. I don't believe they'll give up on it, so the only conclusion I can draw is that they will take a turn in that direction.
I don't think exporting the revolution was purely ideological for the soviets either, it was driven by the material conditions of either being defeated slowly with socialism in one country or fighting.
True thoughts on that, China is either going to need to massively increase food production or establish a base of ideologically aligned food exporters.
Precisely. So, the conditions are going to push them to it whether they want it or not.
This contradiction will resolve itself either in accepting they need to export revolution or by liberalising. Or by doing both simultaneously in some fucked up distorted mess if leadership is bad and indecisive.
God damn it, China exporting liberalism was NOT on my horizon but now I have to be scared about it.
Thanks, I hate it
I was thinking more like the way the soviets simultaneously supported other liberation projects while at the same time increasingly watering themselves down. If the issue isn't clearly recognised for what it is I think it's pretty easy that different elements of the state could pull in different directions. That's where decisive leadership is needed to prevent it.
