This would be an massive undertaking. I’d expect it to take decades before it starts getting any results.

Are you sure you want to compare how many wars the US has waged compared to Russia and how many people they’ve murdered each?

That commenter is doing you a favour by implying it’s anywhere close.

US is a democracy

Lmfao

Modern Russia is a shitty liberal “democracy” just as incompetent as the US’s

We’re gonna start seeing large open source communities start to break into smaller ones because of sanctions from now aren’t we?

Liberals try to fucking read challenge (impossible)

but it’s still within the interests of the chinese state

Obviously lmao. Why the hell would a country do something for no reason

The more Africa develops with Chinese cooperation, the more China gets access to wealthier markets to sell stuff to that they have good relations with.

World’s largest settler colony votes in favour of colonialism. More at 11

The U.S. official said Israel notified the U.S. in advance. “We were not surprised,” the official said.

I thought they were at least gonna continue pretending they don’t want a regional escalation?

Iran warns Israel, US of ‘severe response’ in case of retaliation

Sanctions have been a blessing for Russia and China. Seems like they just make massive economies more self-sustaining and global south-oriented.

Lmfao this is the funniest thing I’ve read all week. What alternate universe are libs living in?

When/if a civil war or working-class revolution ever reaches the heart of the imperial core — the US — it will be after most of the world has overthrown capitalism to become socialist (assuming capitalism doesn’t kill us all by climate change or a nuclear war by then), not at the start of a hypothetical major war.

The highest managerial authority under the Taean system is the party committee. Each committee consists of approximately twenty-five to thirty-five members elected from the ranks of managers, workers, engineers, and the leadership of “working people’s organizations” at the factory.

Workplace democracy in action.

Yeah I also thought for a second I had somehow missed a fucking nuclear bombing

US is gonna go to war against Iran aren’t they? And over something as stupid as protecting israel’s genocide.

First Thought made a great video on what that could look like

Damn alot of good things happening for Linux adoption recently huh

Love that americans are still worried about elections of all things as if anything other than organized violence will stop a capitalist government from committing genocide.

And Russia has a long and ongoing history of supporting Global South countries’ sovereignty against US and its proxies’ agression, even after the USSR has been overthrown and taken over by capitalists. So this isn’t surprising.

What the fuck is their endgame here? They’re antagonizing the entire fucking planet

They’re basically telling Iran to wage war on israel…

Well, the empire from Star Wars was based on the US empire after all, and the rebels were based on the Viet Cong.

Acknowledging that the US has been the leader of the imperial core — the countries that have been colonizing the rest of the world for 500 years now — since WW2 is the realistic, materialist view.

Only difference now is that it’s changed form to mainly the economic subjugation (neocolonialism) of “former” colonies through unequal exchange under capitalism rather than direct military subjugation — though the US still has a major actual settler colony committing a genocide in Palestine right now.

Any country that tries to escape this system (by nationalizing its resources to prevent extraction by unequal exchange, usually by establishing a socialist state) is sanctioned (DPRK, Vietnam in the past, Zimbabwe etc), embargoed (Cuba), overthrown (Chile, Burkina Faso etc), or invaded (Vietnam, Libya, Korea, etc).
