i work for an organization that helps people find employment and other governmental assistance. the majority of our clients are poor minorities and the homeless so it always amazes me when co-workers fail to apply what they've learned here to the rest of the world.
though i do have to say this is the most rewarding job i've ever had, i actually about care about the people i help, who would have thought?
i wish i was still unemployed

one of the cool things about construction is ppl print out memes but they're weird blue collar ones we otherwise dont get to see, like it will be the minions but they're saying a rude bumper sticker or coffee mug slogan like I'm not PAID to GIVE a SHIT
He was such a terrible employee, showing up late, missing shifts, but everyone loved him so I guess the bosses figured they couldn't fire him.

Xi's speaking my language!
http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1280652/xi-brings-mass-line-message-home-revolution
President and Communist Party chief Xi Jinping visited the hallowed revolutionary ground of Xibaibo yesterday just three weeks after urging Politburo members to adhere to his "mass line" campaign to bolster public support.
In Xibaibo - the headquarters of the People's Liberation Army before its 1949 victory in the civil war - Xi cited the famous "two musts" speech by late party leader Mao Zedong , who developed the mass line leadership doctrine, state media said.
Xi reminded cadres of Mao's order to preserve modesty and prudence, while sticking to a plain lifestyle and keeping up the struggle. He said the remarks were Mao's insights on how a new ruling party could maintain a long and peaceful reign.
Xi told local officials that "revolutionary history is the best nutrition for communists".
He also toured Zhengding county in the northern province of Hebei , where he began his political career as deputy party secretary more than three decades ago.
Although the visit was later announced by state media, the first official report came from Hebei's weather bureau.
It posted a photograph of Xi waving to onlookers in the street, noting Zhengding's weather "is cool and good for inspection tours".
Analysts saw the trip as a well co-ordinated effort to support Xi's year-long mass-line campaign, a revival of Maoist doctrine to strengthen the party's ties with the people.
Xi officially launched the campaign after a three-day meeting of the decision-making Politburo last month.
"The visit to the rural area in Hebei and Xibaibo is designed to appeal to the conservative wing within the party," said Johnny Lau Yui-siu, a Hong Kong-based commentator.
Lau noted that Xi's visit came after his high-profile trip to Guangdong in November, in which the new party chief voiced his commitment to the economic opening under late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping .
In contrast, Xi's predecessor, Hu Jintao , picked Xibaibo for the site of his first inspection tour soon after being named party chief in 2002.
"The trips with different political symbolism are deliberately designed to appeal for political support from both camps within the party," which also suggested that "the new leader still lacks the confidence to push ahead with his own political agenda".
re the mass line : perhaps the rhizzon could help "Real Life" campaigns engaged in iteratively building a mass line.
if the process is a cycle of gathering, concentrating, returning wishes of the masses repeatedly, perhaps rhiz could collaboratively synthesize with the activists who have gathered those wishes and then help them deliver back a concrete political program for the peoplee.
i was thinking about this as i know bourgeois politics geeks are attempting various tools eg http://smartvote.ie/
we could possibly do create something snazzy like that with a space on the rhizzzone somewhere if we wanted?

I'm a pretty big fan of the MLPC because they're active in my area in a positive way and have a line that doesn't suck.
The CPC is still pretty good as far as anti-imperialism goes (they still advocate for withdrawing from NATO, are courageous enough to oppose US intervention in Ukraine and Syria etc) but domestically they're more or less reformists and from what I've heard have a lot of old crufty fogies in their upper membership who are a pain in the ass to try and work with. I'm not all up on the drama though so maybe someone else who's worked in a city where they have more presence can elaborate
Really your best bet is probably to work with and support whatever party is organizing most effectively in your region, it's not like you're married to them for life.

xi's mass line campaign is about public office holders acting with dignity and humility and is a response to the widespread perception that the party is corrupt and intertwined with business interests.it's not about promoting class struggle (xi generally supports more privatization and deregulation)
