Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency
(www.washingtonpost.com)
The desire for Taiwanese independence has experienced a significant drop over the past three years, with only 25.3% of people who want to “move toward independence” or seeking “independence as soon as possible” - down from nearly one-third - 32.4% - in 2020.
Great intro, only thing I'd add would be to note that it should also be made explicit that socialism and communism stages here have their own contradictions as well, and they too will continue to evolve going forward.
I'd suggest that we should think of this less of a directed progression, but rather a graph of states and edges connecting them. When you're at any particular state, you can transition to a different adjacent state from it. For example, capitalism can transition to socialism, regress back to feudalism, or turn into fascism. These are all possible outcomes based on how the material conditions develop. But we cannot jump from capitalism directly to communism because these states are not directly adjacent to each other. There is too much change necessary, and therefore you need an intermediate state like socialism to make the transition. But that too can revert back to capitalism as we saw in USSR. Thinking of this in terms of a two dimensional space adds a bit more nuance rather than framing it as an inevitable progression towards communism.
Mediazona is UK/Ukranian outlet, thinking that Russia lost a bazillion soldiers requires really high levels gullibility and chauvinism.

I just ran across it, and thought it was interesting even if its a bit older. The whole problem of a looming financial crisis is still very current.
and unapologetically so too
It's the classic thing where you cut social services, then turn around to say how terrible public sector is, and use that as a justification for privatizing
