I've had this on my YT unlisted for a while. I like to throw it up on a big screen television to serve as a visual aid when explaining to people why China and the Chinese cherish their modern systems so dearly.

It's also just a pretty chill video to throw on in the background imo.

Please check out/support that Max fella's Walk East channel.

edit : didn't mentioned that the interest i saw with the graph above was that it's usually considered cheaper to work in China, and that developing countries need to 'be competitive'/'lower their salaries' in order to attract investments. This graph points out to the existence of other factors than wages in order to 'be competitive'/'attract investments'. Perhaps that a country should( somehow) become wealthy enough to enable its own capitalists to invest in machinery, leading to 'higher salaries'/'more (productive )investments'/'higher competitiveness', i.d.k. Still don't know as well how China escaped the trap that every other country fell in.

One aspect of the Reservation system within the United States skipped over by common Marxists (and the American public in general) is that of the Neo-Colonial relationships between the US and Indigenous nations. In the 1970s on the Pine Ridge Reservation, the poorest community in the United States and home of the Oglala Lakota people, ruled a dictator by the name of Dick Wilson. Wilson funneled federal funds into his own wealth and to pay for a paramilitary to hunt down members of the American Indian Movement (AIM), a party of Indigenous radicals keen on fighting American encroachment and occupation of their lands and communities. The struggle between AIM and Wilson and his Fed backers, peaked in tension in the Wounded Knee Occupation. The occupation by AIM was called off after Wilson's army with the US special forces (disputed by the US government) and AIM reached a gun battle. Wilson remained in power even having been caught rigging an election, but a Federal judge interfered on his behalf, and many of his Lakota opponents died violently over the following years until his defeat in another election. Since Wilson's departure, the Pine Ridge Indian Reorganization Act (forced American governance) leadership has been centrist/liberal as the main radicals of the Reservation had been killed violently and many more imprisoned. Pine Ridge remains the poorest community in the country.

This is the first of several episodes that we will do on the Moscow Trials. For fuller context we decided to start our investigation with the beginnings of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. Hope you enjoy!
