@lemmygrad.mlIn China, most people equate being a communist with being a party member. Being communist isn't just some kind of label you associate yourself with, like in the West. I know from first-hand experience, because telling people I'm a socialist/communist in China prompts them to ask me whether I'm a party member. The average communist in the West can't hold a candle against the dedication and sacrifice of cadres in China. Heck, even people that aren't communists are often enrolled into semester long programs that require them to listen to socialist thought every weekday for 2 hours a day, all because their work requires it (due to receiving government funds, or working on projects that directly influence the wellbeing of others -> i.e. creating a private-sector web platform that harvests user data, which it can only use for the good of society).
In the future, if you want to know more about a certain phrase or topic, and the hand-wavy explanations on the web don't do it for you: You can add 导读, which will guide you through the terms and their meaning, often by giving practical examples. Here is a rather succinct explanation of every social value.

Unless it has improved in the last 5 months, I'm passing. Somehow can't concentrate on their TTS. Might have to do with the stuff I want it to read.
Thanks for the tip though

Going by their pricing model I'd have to pay $330 at mininum going by my listening habits... What the.
$22 a month for 2 hours. That's crazy! It'd be cheaper for me to hire an actual person with these prices. I was thinking of like $10 a book. They're asking at least ten-fold...
Wish I could use this technology for myself to listen to non-fiction books. Even if it costs $10 I'd still feel it'd be worth it.
If you, for example, were in a vanguard party. Would this party be worth collaborating with or would they obstruct any and all attempts towards socialist takeover?
Are you happy with the direction taken and achievements the party has made in these last 5 years? Do you think their current plans are realistic, and are you happy with their scope? I think being pragmatic is the best course of action. Organizations that have their act together and have room for more radical ideas are hard to come by.
Unless you're willing to build a party from the ground up, build up a organizational framework that is able to fend off modern threats, and spend a decade maturing the organization as well as have the people to follow you along: I wouldn't bother splintering off.
Did I hear somebody say "using their diplomats and government funds to cover up crimes against humanity committed by Shell in Nigeria"?
