Transcript of speech (courtesy of AernalLingus [any])

I encourage everyone to take the time to listen carefully and review this material, and apply the rhetoric and ideas relevant to our social and national conditions as the opportunity arises. Discourse can be improved by refining how we express both internal (self) and external (collective/national/geopolitical) phenomenon, as well as their respective solutions.

The less frustrated we are in seeking the words for what we know, the better equipped and more level-headed we will be to handle disputes as they arise.

This is a really good and valuable speech. I'm only about halfway through but one thing I really like about it is that the Party is both proud of their accomplishments but also humble in how far there is to go. It's clear both from the speech and watching the socialist progression of China that the Party and the people are connected in a way that the Communist Party of the USSR were not in its later years.

Full of excellent analogies, talking points and roadmaps towards solutions.

one thing I really like about it is that the Party is both proud of their accomplishments but also humble in how far there is to go. It's clear both from the speech and watching the socialist progression of China that the Party and the people are connected in a way that the Communist Party of the USSR were not in its later years.

China has managed to reverse the trend of corrosive seduction of Western capital and practices that plagued the USSR, and thus has managed a massive ongoing cleanup campaign to take out tigers (big capitalists or high ranking officials on their bankroll that threaten to usurp state power), swat flies (petty small time corruption) and hunt down foxes (clever officials who engage in corruption and hide the spoils in offshore bank accounts and the like). It truly is a sight to behold, and can inspire us here to carry on our work of self-reform to address the problem of rise and fall and rejuvenate our peoples (be it Hexbear or IRL wherever possible).
