Re: But at what cost?”: Nihilism as anti-communist propaganda. 📂 Archived Message Posted by johnlilburne on October 25, 2025, 10:22 am, in reply to "But at what cost?”: Nihilism as anti-communist propaganda." I seem to remember Jason Hinkle on GG describing China as 'Communism with Confucian characteristics'. I've just been reading a book pointing up the anarchistic (anti-Statist, anti-Confucian) aspects of Daoism. A minority tradition in China but there nonetheless. What are we supposed to fear most in the West? Russian tanks rolling up Tunbridge Wells High Street? Islamism taking over Europe (replacement theory)? Or the Chinese outpacing the West economically and technologically (and politically and militarily)? To the ruling elites the threat of an example (allowing markets but under state control for the benefit of the people) of a system more successful (however measured) than western neo-liberalism?
