You hate pedophilia? You are a terrorist. You hate those who burn down mosques and churches? You are a terrorist. You hate the 50 oligarchs that rule over us? You are a terrorist. If everyone is a terrorist nowadays, might as well act like one.
That's also how I see it. If they want long-lasting peace, it will be a nuclear-enforced one. The DPRK has witnessed way too many times in its lifetime what happens to countries that naively give up their nukes. The atom is still one of the best guarantors of national sovereignty.
Personally, I'm very happy about the increasingly competitive EV market. Hopefully they will start exporting those to the British market. Don't we all love cheap things?
I've learnt from a coworker that actually, all the stuff we order from AliExpress is crap they don't sell in their own country. A bit like the Swiss selling their shitty cheese abroad whilst they keep the good stuff for themselves.
Good for them! STEM folks might be slowly realising they are no different than the guy in blue on the production line, except that they are more likely to know what a directed graph is.
Socialism yes indeed! But to say that China is semi capitalist is seeing the glass half empty; they are still in the preliminary stage of socialism. It's not perfect, but it doesn't have to be as long as it goes above and beyond what has been achieved by capitalism. I recommend The East is still red by Carlos Martinez about that. It deconstructs a lot of misconceptions about what China is and isn't.
Capitalism with a human face doesn't make sense. It's like talking about Ethical Theft. It might have served its purpose, but now it's time to move on.
It is truly last piece of the Bourgeois panopticon. Internet already feels broken. I have to constantly switch my VPN on to access this or that website. How long til they even prohibit that?
Most of the legit stuff was on telegram, surprisingly or not. I know people who bought uh firearms and more there. Unfortunately, it feels like it disappeared at the same time as the proximity feature
Ahahah it's always funny to see my old employer on this website. What's more crazy is that they appeared twice, and they are really not that important lol
Oh no is a real thing! Capitalism is a mode of production; that is a way to organise the productive forces of a society around specific social relations. It is so real it has been observed well before Marx himself. Ricardo and Smith studied its developments. It even had a beginning, back then with Italian city-states, and hopefully it will have an end, just like slavery and feudalism before. I recommend "Why socialism" by Albert Einstein as a good introduction :)
The US Empire has reached the limit of its capitalistic mode of production. Now is time for Americans to consider the next step of any industrialised capitalist society; scientific socialism. It did wonder for China, Vietnam, and many more, and it can do wonders for the American people too.
I appreciate the sentiment of the author. However, when it comes to politicians in the West, it's always better to assume malice over ignorance. These people know what they are doing. They simply goals and interests completely opposed to the common man. At the end, it's all about class. Hence why open letters to politicians are of very little use or effect.
