Official Xi Jinping Thought discussion thread

Then, I can across another complaint and this time about China's move away from spiritualism and towards hedonism!! I was flabbergasted and frankly dumbfounded for him to write such drivel. Religion as a guiding force? See India. Hedonism? See U.S. and many western influence countries that are full on brothels for WESTERNERS!!

They don't know a shit about hedonism. Epicurus, the first who talked about "hedon" described hedon as a state of no disturbance, no pain and spiritual calmness. Westerners don't even bother to take a look to their own philosophy. Communism, another rejectable western child, rejects the theological and supernatural matter of religions and view them as cultural elements of the past, mostly ethical rule over society. Viewing them as such, a reasonable person if he sees elements of oldschool ethics compatible, applicable, and generally good, why not embrace them? That's the long story short about socialism with Chinese characteristics

From a spiritualist and materielist perspective, China's most critical role is restoring balance to a world thrown completely out of balance by the cumulative depredations of western imperialists and their enablers; for if heaven is a perfect state of harmony, hell is a state of absolute imbalance.
