Re: <nettime> The Left Needs a New Strategy

[Joseph Rabie <joe@overmydeadbody.org>]

China is a single-party state ruled by a Communist Party. At the same time, it has become the leading actor of the global market economy, with the usual trappings of capitalism - millionaires, stock exchanges, labour exploitation, etc.

In the face of such contradictions, how might one even consider China as being capable of furthering any genuinely leftist strategy at all?
