It's true! They'll just pack up a big duffel bag full of factories and workers, and go live in Dubai.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

This is why the USSR had no factories in 1917.
Also, if I hear this dude say
HIGH NET WORTH INDIVIDUAL
one more time I'm gonna lose it.
Bullshit. For the very rich it's not about income it's about assets. You tax them using their assets which are not so mobile.
The premise of the video seems to be that the national bourgeoisie will stick around because it's their home so building them up is a winning strategy for further growth as you can milk them for contributions and they won't leave. The international bourgeoisie on the other hand are fucking parasites who go wherever is cheapest and contribute absolutely fucking nothing with no local attachments and should be put down.
I agree. Not that the national bourgeoisie are not without their problems, but there is room to create alliances with them under various circumstances, there is zero room for tolerating the international bourgeoisie who hold no roots and will move wherever and whenever.
Sometimes I think it's quite hard to identify who the national vs international bourgeoisie are though. Additionally, the national bourgeoisie will ally with the international bourgeoisie if it will make them more millions, so finding wedges to split them is important, the easiest one being used is the split interests imperialism brings to an exploited country of the global south between the national bourgeoisie who are harmed by this compared to the international bourgeoisie gaining from the exploitation. Such wedges are harder to find within the imperial core though.

That's because the international, financial bourgeoisie won the power struggle and since the 08 crisis, even national bourgeoisie have been moving money from real production into financial assets. Using profits on stock bye backs and the like. They're hollowing out their own production, selling the copper wiring in the wall, as a last grasp on short term profit.
Will the national bourg rally around Trump and tariffs to try to scrape back real production? Or has China simply replaced the western manufacturing to the point where all the West have left is financialization.
My main issue is that finding the wedge between the two groups is very difficult if we can't identify them easily as it makes it difficult to talk to them. If I can't talk to some national boug I can't find what things they're split on with the others.
