    Xi Jinping “Governance of China” might interest you. It’s a compilation of his political speeches that yes, does include all of his political promises and the course of party. When i read it at first, it read entirely like the usual political speeches i hear in Poland and you undoubtedly also hear wherever you live (though as KiG V2 noticed in above post, more concrete and specific).

    But then i noticed that except the improvement of relations with United States (for rather obvious reasons), everything he promised was, after 8 years at the moment, either already delivered or in work with noticeable progress.

    It’s not that all politicians lie. It’s politicians in capitalist countries that nearly always lies on basic issues because they do serve the capitalist class and not the working class.

    Imagine what would they promises look if they were honest: “we are gonna fuck you up with austerity, cut your healthcare even more, get tax cuts for the rich, increase the military budget and invade yet anouther country, but don’t worry, the billionaires wealth will increase faster than ever and it will make it worth it”.

    Also I confess I didn’t see this was the lemmygrad bubble. Oops.

    You might try to stay awhile and read, you might get surprised. How do you think everyone here came to be here?
