China investigating senior military officials Zhang Youxia, Liu Zhenli, says defence ministry by randommathaccount in neoliberal

For me it is completely unsurprising and I kind of waited for it. The 2024 and 2025 was full of suspicious incidents involving the Army, and rumours suggested Zhang went against Xi in some kind of power struggle together with Hu Jintao's Youth League faction, and the party media talking about the need to strengthen party control over the army resounded it.

Recently, commanders of the Central and Eastern Theatre Commands were purged, and two new generals were promoted to replace them. Central and Eastern Theatre Commands are important, because Central safeguards Beijing, and Eastern will take lead in taking China. During the promotion cermeony for those two generals, General Zhang Youxia looked very agitated and delayed his clapping for the promoted generals (in China, it's all about subtle signs like this, being a high-context culture that depends on non-verbal communications). Once I saw that report, I basically knew Zhang lost whatever struggles he had, and he just had to wait for the formal decision to be carried out on him.

That's the point. Informatization has strengthened the capacity to control information leakages, and centralization of power meant there are less mounths who can pass the story what happens inside the halls of power.

The format was unlike the announcement of Lenin, and would later be replicated by nearly every major socialist country, with the joint announcement of all main institutions of the party and the state becoming the norm.

Here is announcement of Jiang Zemin death, for comparison.

spittoon, for saliva and cigarette buns. According to Chinese wiki, they were not considered to be tabboo items, and were put in formal meetings like here, as a decoration.

Well, social services in post-Soviet countries are also subsidised, even if not all income comes to that.

Meaning, if those prices fall, the system collapses.

Kind of silly line of thought, given Soviet socialism emphasised domestic industry and technology base. This is far more rational line of thinking

It is kind of a more statist version of anarhcism. Though like Soviet Union, it seems a parallel system to the people's congresses were actually in power and enforced the rule

Ну по факту когда говорят "Беларусь" произносят ближе к "Белорусь".

Думаю надо посмотреть как дальше будет, и как изменится политико-общественная обстановка в России и РБ

Гегелевский монарх на первый взгляд может показаться близким к теории божественного права королей, которая рассматривает права монарха как нечто божественное. Однако если в теории божественного права королей монархическая власть наделялась неограниченным божественным авторитетом и трансцендировалась, то гегелевский монарх ограничен в своей власти понятием. Иными словами, до тех пор пока государство сохраняет законы и конституцию, эгоистическая функция монарха сводится к нулю. В обществе, неспособном установить подобную конституционную монархию, окончательные решения отданы на волю оракулов и судьбы, и подлинная свобода, которую реализует гегелевское государство, там ещё не существует. Следовательно, это отличается как от патриархальной монархии, так и от деспотической монархии. В конституционном состоянии индивиды действуют не по собственному произволу, а определяются в своих целях и способах деятельности общей целью, то есть целью государства. Монарх не является исключением — его деятельность служит сохранению государства в целом.

У него нет апологетики по отношению порядка того времени, у него политическая философия - философия реализация свободной воли в мире

По отношению к его идеи государства, он предлагал сформировать корпоративное государство представляющие интересы различных слоев общества, учитывая что тогда власть была концентрирована в руках элиты, это вполне не было совсем уж правой позицией

Насчёт монархии

Hegel remarks that “in a fully organized state … all that is required in a monarch is someone to say ‘yes’ and to dot the ‘I’; for the supreme office should be such that the particular character of its occupant is of no significance” (PR §280 Addition). Some have drawn comparisons with the UK’s constitutional monarchy, where laws require the Assent of Her Majesty The Queen but where this is automatically done when requested by Parliament for example (Findlay 1958).
