This is what good Amerikans call, Manifest Destiny...

Nah... Americans may hate each other, but ultimately, unless there's a major irreconciliable internal struggle between two major social movements on

  1. economic system and material conditions

  2. foreign policy

  3. Stability of gov't to maintain liberal rule

and its resulting instability...

I don't think there's gonna be another one

Eh, question... what's their charges? Murder? Treason?

The official human rights authority in the kingdom, the Saudi Human Rights Commission, also falsely claimed that child defendant Mustafa al-Darwish, who was sentenced to death for protest-related offences, was over 19 at the time of the crimes.

But Reprieve and ESOHR provided evidence that proved he was in fact under 18. Darwish was executed on 15 June 2021 despite the evidence.

What...

As one Australian war criminal once said

"Shoot straight you bastards! Don't make a mess of yourselves!"

Ultra rich wealth/land hoarders/exploiters

upper mid-level wealth/land hoarders,

Depends, there's many in history that can fit the bill (eg. feudal lords (crop rent), industrial capitalists (factory profit), slaveowners (goods and free labor profit), and aristocracy of finance and land (money interest and land rent) )

Their immediate managers, facilitators

Professional managerial class, or compradors for the main dominant capitalist group (eg. the West) / hegemonic capitalist group

Average workers & Average people who are dissatisfied?

Proletariat and lumpenprole?

Let's see here

Bourgeoisie:includes grande (big) and moyenne (medium) bourgeoisie, but essentially they are medium (regional/national) and large (global) capitalists, that mainly rely on industrial profit, if not landed rend, and financial interest, based around growing industrial and financial production

Though I consider bourgeoisie in its western context, to specifically refer to the first modern form in Europe, birthed from the Medieval period

Bourg-eois --> Bourg derives from the medieval German term for "city", as they derived from the growing cities of their era

Petty-bourgeoisie:a small business owner (only a handful of businesses directly owned by them)

Proletariat:wage/salaried laborers who depend heavily on their wage/salary, lest a few days/weeks leave em destitute and homeless

They are historically converted from the destruction of peasants, yeomanry, guild craftsmen, apprentices and mentors, during the progressive bourgeois revolution against feudalism.

Originally, in Rome, such term was derived from those citizens who made offspring to serve the Roman slave mode of production

Lumpenproletariatdespite its name, it is a similarly newly-created class of capitalism, more destitute and ruined than the proletariat, defined by a lack of official joblessness and stability, which include people from the simply unemployed and unhoused to criminals, strike-breakers, prostitutes, and gangsters

They are a wild card that can ally with either bourgeois or proletariat forces

Lumpen (rabble) + proletariat

If there's one moderate critique, it doesn't say much when it comes to political bias ratings, which are often U.Sian centric

Like here are the 3 axes of politics to me

Economic Policy (Base)

{Domestic} Culture and Government Structure Policy (Superstructure)

Foreign Policy (Western or Eastern Alignment

But I can't understand anything when it merely comes to left and right, like in what way are they leftist or rightist, are they economically socialist/capitalist and anti-western/pro-western in foreign policy in such way too, or merely when it comes to culture and gov't policy?
