😂 (and yes.)

The socialist taming of capitalists is a sight to behold. Quite a level-headed response (from a capitalist perspective) to a direct attack from the EU.

Beauty ravaged by fascism.

A lot of that distrust is because a signifcant proportion of the electorate (both Democratic and Republican voters) feel the media is not racist and queerphobic enough. The culture of imperialism, colonialism and bigotry runs deep.

VDL “shifting to the right”?

They have no shame.

“We perpetuate systemic crimes against humanity but the real crime is in calling that out.”

One of things I have found is that the hubris of imperialism and colonialism means they openly admit their crimes and write it down in their newspapers, books and webpages, and in this day and age video themselves doing the crime. I first discovered this for myself when I was younger reading about British Imperialism against India; they were essentially boasting back to the base that they shouldn’t let go of India in the Scramble for Africa.

This is a thing that exists (and the wikipedia article is written with no self-awareness including no arguments from black communists or any historical context including America’s segregation and subjugation of black peoples being one of the chief inspirations for Nazi Germany):

Reading Chinese scientific advancements is truly joyful and uplifting in this often morbid world.

If one, for example, could consider a universal health care system such as the NHS in the UK can exist in an overall capitalist system then we can consider capitalist mechanisms could exist under an overall socialist system (though it should be noted that markets existed long before capitalism).

How would then one potentially define a system is socialist or not? If the system is not submissive to capital it could potentially be considered socialist. A century worth of data from various social projects around the world suggests that a dictatorship of the proleteriat with a vanguard party at the helm would be needed to have a hope of being more powerful than capital, of which it could be said that Yugoslavia did meet that criteria.

Each nation will have to discover for themselves through scientific application of political economic development (ie marxism) how this could be achieved.

I have read that China is not getting rid of their reserve dollars overall suggesting that countries that want to trade in dollars with China can still do but it can now be done without US oversight or control? If that is the case the “de-dollarisation” effect would be much higher than the trade in the above local currencies would imply?

Zionism is deeply anti-semitic; for zionists the only valid jew is a fascist one. All other jews to zionists are “self-loathing”.

This time around the Russian economy made more signifcant gains and inadvertently - from USAmerican perspective - helped forge closer ties with China and the seeds of an alternative economic block with the Global South outside of Western control; the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazhan being an important example of this.

Zionism is chiefly a secular project. For example, Herzl was infamously anti-semitic against religious eastern European jews.

Well done to Dr Haj-Tassan for getting through their censorship and being brave enough to do so.

Another example of capitalism treating humans as refuse. Disparingly, and rather predictably, this immiseration is being used to propagate further anti-immigrant sentiment (and inevitably violence if not already happened).

Politico’s “dream economy”. Hopefully future whistleblowers survive this time.

“Afghan Trap 2.0 is failing so let’s see which version of blaming our proxies will stick.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if the imperialist lackeys started hurling their favourite anti-semitic slurs (“self-hating jew”) against her at this stage, if they haven’t already.

“The history of all hitherto existing societies is a history of class struggles”

As there are class struggles of women against the oppression by men there are class struggles of nations of peoples against their imperialist/colonial oppressors. If one understands that material conditions can often inform one’s worldview and if those material conditions lend to the privilege of white supremacism then one can easily see why some suffragettes could, for example, support the British Union of Fascists.

Always think about dialectics (for example the interaction between the evolving ideas of a person and their surrounding environment, how they influence each other back and forth) and one will see, unfortunately, why solidarity is not universal and why some people’s empathetic intelligence is stunted.

TLDR: they wanted a more equitable share of the white bourgoisie’s loot.
