I haven't been able to read much, but managed to finish my reading list except for Ataman Semyonov's memoir since I also have the Asiatic Cavalry Division officer memoir to read.
So a new reading list that is entirely focused on China has been drafted.
>"Buddhism is such a peaceful religion!"
>"..."
>"Tranquility and enlightement sounds so advanced!"
>"Were gonna purge and execute every reactionary noble and rightist like you to achieve Socialist Shambhala."
>"W-what?"
"Comrade Choibalsan, why are you invading Manchuria and Inner Mongolia with the Soviets?"
"If you don't mind I will give you a short historical background. It will starts in 209 BC with the establishment of the Xiongnu State and it's subsequent conflicts with the Han Dynasty..."

Broke: Thinking Allied Lend-Lease helped the Soviets achieve breakthroughs post-1943
Woke: Thinking Mongolian horses and donations made the offensives of 1942 onwards possible
When you finally escape Samsara and reach Enlightenment, then Buddha puts you at a desk job where you have to sort out who's going to be tortured for a billion years in hell and who's going to Shambhala
You don't see schizoposting like this on Mongolian facebook all that much anymore. Now it's all talk about us being "uncivilzied" and nothing having the "entrepeneur spirit".
10 years ago we used to have fistfights between MP's in the government palace over if they were Chinese.
Guy who studies the Cultural Revolution and comes to the conclusion that the masses cannot hold power so instead of DotP, we should just have an eternal Vanguard party.

Sydney Sweeney reveals she's a huge Peljidiin Genden fan in an interview.
"I mean, attempting to reduce the power of the Lamas and trying to tow the line between the various MPRP factions? It's just incredible."
She added "No one else did more for modern Mongolia than him."
I once managed to go to a cafe with a female friend.
After some coffee, I talked for about 3!hours about KMT politics during the Nanjing Decade and other historical stuff. Somehow still managed to stay friends.
Probably because she already had a bf.
> I meet someone
> we talk
> I tell them about how Lyndon LaRouche constructed a powerful political organisation that still exerts power across the world to this day, and mainstreamed aspects of his philosophy with terrifying efficiency

The correct Marxist position on Land Reform in the Roman Republic is to support Sullan Status Quo and the murder of the Gracchi Brothers.
This also extends to Sullan Civil War (supporting Sulla) and Caesar (Optimates/Pompey) btw.
Mongolian irrelevant party names are so funny
"United Citizens Participation Party"
"People's Majority Rule Party"
"Democratic Modernization Party"
"Democratic Praxis Party" (it's a legitimate translation)
"United Party of Good Democratic Citizens"
"World Mongols Party"
Someone should study the reason why the Mongolian government keeps coming up with ideas to fix the economy and every single one is literally from the 1970's without a single change
The only difference is it's to "Help the Free Market", instead of building Socialism
Also Mongolian history textbooks are always funny. Like you can sort of see that the authors are all insane Fukuyama-Pan-Mongolists but neither the teachers nor the students give a shit about reading and understanding the textbook.
This is literally what's taught in schools btw.
The Xiongnu are considered our ancestors and so the Han Dynasty was the first real enemy of the Mongols.
(I won't count the Warring States period since there wasn't a real unified Proto-Mongol state)
@samahonline
uh cuz typically asian cultures don’t promote activism and protesting? it’s very much a keep to urself and don’t cause attention culture esp as immigrants? u said it urself that’s what white queers r known for
@nemo_literam
I wonder if there's a Manul hunting ring for rich people and Westerners.
I remember a few scandals where government officials would give out more hunting licenses for red book animals that it was legally allowed to.
"Technocracy without Technocrats, ah... That's the Miracle on the Han River, that's the Liberal Developmentalism of LKY, Park Chung-Hee and others. That's very much a tradition that we're a part of."

Anarcho-Socialism with Meijist Characteristics... sanest Asian Socialist ideology
Also does this mean that the Ishin Shishi would be honored as proto-Bakuninit-
My 5 favourite fictional Maoists (not in order)
1. Archaon the Everchosen
2. Saruman
3. Schneizel el Britannia (Code Geass)
4. Maximillian (Valkyria Chronicles)
5. Grand Moff Tarkin
I banned divorce, LGBT people, allowed torture and executions for most crimes, have a state religion... etc while also drone striking everyone
Still getting max foreign investments
"You see the KMT was a very factionalist party (much like the CPSU) and one of those factions was the Central Club Clique which was mostly close associates of Chiang Kai-Shek..."
We will invent a guy who advocates for Soviet Socialism but does it with rhetoric from an IMF advisor.
"You see we need to have a Centrally Planned Economy to correct the mistakes of the Free Market, it's simply guiding the invisible hand of the Market (Gosplan)."
Rest assured that I recognise the immense untapped demand for a science-fiction political simulator game, and fully intend on making incredible amounts of money off of this idea someday.
To explain it: If you are supporting Land Reform you are:
-Reducing the number of urban proles and turning them into f*rmers
-Privatizing public land (Social Democracy)
-Supporting the Roman Republic in it's warmongering (preventing mutinies by veterans)
@asubparusername
Liberia is literally a colony of African-Americans.
Ethopia is more iffy but still doesn't really count
It's the same thing with Thailand.
@KarnesMellagio
Comintern: United Front bros we can still come back.
CCP: WE ARE LITERALLY BEING BEHEADED IN THE STREETS
Comintern: There's a problem with the telegraph line, your transmission is garbled. Anyway continue supporting the KMT
It's a miracle how the CCP was able to survive the 20's
Just finished reading this.
It reads like the same thing but different details of:
>9/11 happens
>Random American enlisted man with high school education vows to take revenge
>Keeps repeating "Billions must die" and thinks that they should be allowed to destroy everything.
That's sort of incorrect?
While Altanbulag was the place name, it was specifically the when the Mongolian People's Militia entered the town of Kyakhta/Khyagt.
Also while the Battle of Kyakhta destroyed the largest concentration of Warlord/Gamin troops in Mongolia-
OTD in 1921 the Mongolian People's Army defeated Chinese forces at Altanbulag. this defeat marked the end of a Chinese presence in Outer Mongolia. while the anniversary of first spacewalk is more popular, I am making my interest in Mongol history your problem.
Incredible how retarded the Anglos and French were on the Middle East
What Orientalism does to a colonial empire (calming myself by reading a random PDF I have in the Olympiad test room).
My economy? Mixed
My international diplomacy? Armed Neutrality
My conscription? Enforced
My deepstate? Social Democratic Junta of generals
My elections? Every 5 years
My education? Fully public
My Social health? Fully public
My welfare? Functioning
(We all can dream)
Most evil fact about me:
I was the equivalent of a HK larper.
Because I consumed a lot of British media as a child, I developed a posh British accent (but half-broken) and learned their mannerisms, I kept the mannerisms and still use ello, lad, blimey while speaking sometimes.
Watching Mongolian TV is the funniest shit ever
Every single day prices of goods goes up and everything gets progressively worse
And everyone goes "We need to control prices! We need government intervention!"
Then they say "But we need to keep the Free Market"
Waow
They keep reinventing Tsedenbal era economic policies, yet keep trying to paint it as for the Free Market
But everyone keeps not doing it because of corruption and cronyism ofc
I fully believe that in like 10 years we will have State Socialism but Neoliberally
I had a teacher who somehow managed to do Orientalism on Kazakhs and other Pan-Mongol subgroups
She would always talk of how trad and "in touch with their environment" they were.
Read through Otoyomegatari during Lent and loved it so much that I've picked up some physical copies. Beautiful manga set in 19th century Central Asia.

Had Brezhnev died in 1975, his achievements would have been immortal. Had he died in 1979, he would still have been a great man but flawed. But he died in 1982. Alas, what can one say?

Really craving horse meat, I really like it despite being fat intolerant.
It's really juicy and has a unique taste. Maybe there is a particle of a Kazakh with in me... (Kazakhs eat horse meat a lot)
It's so over.
I have to choose between Korea and Japan to go study abroad with actual livable rent. I'm probably gonna choose Japanese.
Mongolia has fallen, millions must emmigrate
A scholar from the Far East, documenting the Occidentals and how barbarian and strange they are so I can give a report to the Ming/Mongol Court (depends on if I defected).
