Yes, I’ve read a good deal. I’m aware that the central stance of yours and Xiaohongshu’s is similar. At the same time, I simply do not have enough evidence, just online anecdotes to tell me that Marxism has been so completely sidelined as to be irrelevant. With such a level of evidence, I can only agree that there are contradictions, and indeed a large number of liberals that do have a good degree of influence, but not that this influence has toppled and removed Marxism entirely. I’ve seen just as much evidence, frankly, that Marxism is gaining in influence since the late 90s and 2000s period. At this point, I refuse to take a declarative stance about the outcomes of this struggle, and I hope that’s something you can at least understand, in an era where there are huge networks of wishcasters and China hawks.
Sorry for the late reply, but I just want to point out that what I’m talking about has to do with the open discussions among economists, the National People’s Congress, and so on. You don’t need to maintain long-term epistemic suspense when it’s not too difficult to research, even if it might take you some time to gather a sample size to your satisfaction.
