China should get rid of Hong Kong's special status and bring it into line with the rest of China. It's long past time they stopped wishing for the days of being part of Britain.

When was the last time you touched a sickle Decky?

Most of the working class are stuck in shitty indoor jobs, not bronzing themselves with character building, outdoor labour like yourself.

Britain will ruin the people of Hong Kong like they did India. This is why the Naxalite comrades are fighting against them. Hong Kong will be another banking district promoting capitalist power through stooge-like behavior.
My concern though is that China just like Hong Kong wants to be a capitalist mega giant. They wont fess up to the killing of millions of farmers and refuse to acknowledge their brutal suppression of common sense. China has become an anti-intellectual state.

I'm a worker not a peasant. This is basic stuff, the hammer is for the proletariat and the sickle represents the peasantry.

Fun fact of the day: On early Soviet propaganda it was a hammer and a plough, they didn't settle on the sickle for the peasantry until later.

Okay, how many people in the working class have a regular, functional relationship with hammers? How many use keyboards on a regular basis?

I am not working and use hammers on a regular basis along with keyboards. I prefer the feel of pen though oppose to paper.

F***! The left will never succeed if we're fighting over symbolic idiocy and fetishising over the past. We're acting like 3 year old children. Are there any responsible far-left supporters in the world, anymore? I'll assume not...

*raises hand*
I believe in the power of The Left. Hence my usage of my right hand so as not to sully the sacredness of the left

You're right Eauz, this is the only matter I care about.

Not specific to you. I give up. I'll stick to re-education. You guys bring home the victory.

Why don't you just go and join Labour already? I am sure you would get on well with Mandleson.

A weapon to crush our enemies with

I have never been so offended! You might as well call me a fucking Tory.

Anyway, since when was the working class defined by the specific tools of production rather than their economic relationship with capital?

Edit: Don't bother answering, because it was never.
