Against all odds, the socdems beat the liberals and reduced a surging far-right to an embarrassing third place. French fascists are stomping on their berets and cartoonishly snapping baguettes in half.

Even in a very liberal university, whenever (outside of very niche courses) mentioned communism it was always the most insane propaganda. I can only imagine what madness they’ll teach in Florida. Hopefully it’ll backfire like D.A.R.E. but let’s see.

When you realize how good the rich have it in capitalism, you’d understand how they are willing to do ANYTHING to not lose their privilege.

If anything Russia is testing DPRK’s weapons against American/NATO tactics and weapons of war. The DPRK is dedicated to peace above all else and would much rather spend their meager resources on feeding, housing and giving leisure and comfort to the Korean workers. The Korean People’s Armed Forces are 100% dedicated to just two objectives.

Objective 1. Self defense against the US, Japan and any other Western nation (I don’t care if Japan is ethnically East Asian, they’re Western at this point) and any other threat to their homeland.

Objective 2. The defense from takeover by the puppet regime in the fictitious “South Korea” and when the time is right, the liberation of all of Korea, and to move the historical capital of the Unified People’s Republic of Korea from Pyongyang to its proper home to Seoul (or Kim Il Sung City).

The DPRK is one of the few nations on earth with a military of their size that has ZERO interest in conquering even the tiniest speck of dust outside of their nation, especially since the express purpose of jucheism is communism in one nation with the goal of stage 3, the elimination of Korean nationalism (even if by force) and borders to join the international community in the worldwide international worker’s state. Even if this process will have to be over a span of centuries.

So weird the elites keep lowering the bar of what a “luxury” is.

Gen Z is eating THREE TIMES A DAY, what does this mean for the economy?!

Capitalism is so efficient that there’s a recession every 10 years and a worldwide catastrophe every 50. Whereas ineffective managed economies have its ebbs and flows but never actually crash. How are the wealthy vultures supposed to clean the bones of the poor during the downcycles?

WON’T ANYONE THINK OF THE VULTURES???!!!

The US and the West’s in general’s economy has been reliant on low cost manufacturing in the PRC for over 50 years and now Janet Yellen is conveniently instructing them not to “dump cheap products into the market, driving down prices.” Of course the Middle Kingdom have no reason nor incentive and the West’s vague threats fall on deaf ears.

But it’s obvious whatever “truce framework” the US pretended to agree to last month was a load of steaming shit.

I hate how liberals say it's because "they're dumb". No, it's legitimately the case that most of these people have unironically never held a hammer in their lives.

Occupied Palestine (aka “Israel”) disables GPS and blackout IDF soldiers’ leave among credible threat that Iran might attack the terrorist state.

To think there was a time Labour was pretty respectable given its place in the Lion’s Den of capitalism. It even had a mini-revival under social democratic Jeremy Corbin.

Of course the US government can still simply nationalize it and resell it, but it would force the US government to show how government actually works when it desires to.

I think it was Ben Norton that the US wants to find a reason to get away with banning all Chinese imports… but their capitalism is holding them back as “just pay more to make it at home” or “deal with the consequences of an embargo” is not an option for the fragile American economy.

Marx said eventually the contradictions of capitalism will cause it to collapse on itself. Later on in life he agreed with revolutionaries, of the Lenin ilk, that perhaps it won’t collapse on its own and direct intervention has to happen. He might have just been wrong about the timing and it might have taken an extra hundred years. We see that the liberal foreign policy has created a checkmate.

How can you claim Ukraine is this horrific tragedy when it’s significantly tamer than in Palestine where a genocide is going on and the government is telling people to relax that it’s not that bad? How can they rally the normie liberal to really care about Ukraine again without making Israel look bad? If anything the US might just throw Kyiv/Kiev under bus to save Tel-Aviv.

Anything that works as a foil to American power is good, at least for the moment Russia outwardly is a positive force in the world, even if internally the government are reactionary capitalist shitbags.
