You either get assassinated by NATO or live long enough to see yourself join them

Zelensky just removed Zaluzhny from heading the military because Zaluzhny was getting too popular and becoming a political threat. Important to point out that Zelensky has called off the elections that should be happening right now and that there's growing dissent for his administration due to how poorly the war is going. Also worth pointing out that Zaluzhny has ties to the far right militias of the Ukrainian armed forces and flaunted this fact when Zelensky first tried to have him removed. It would be very easy for NATO to back Zaluzhny and his right wing thugs (the same ones that took part in the maidan coup) against Zelensky if Zelensky breaks with the West's wishes. US intelligence agencies are very good at pulling at threads of existing dissent to create chaos and oust difficult political leaders

Functioning democracy [citation needed]

That’s just being a pedo with extra steps

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Spain making a killing off the switch to LNG since nordstream was killed? iirc y'all have like one of two LNG import ports in Europe so Spain's actually one of the few EU countries to come out ahead on this war economically

Oh I thought we were fucking around with taking national liberation to its logical conclusions and breaking things up into as small of chunks as possible. Didn't realize it was a piss take in the other direction

Virtually every large nation should be cracked up as well if you want to follow through with the logic. The amazonian basin would be a series of micro states. China has what like 50 recognized minority ethnic groups within its borders

“Aren’t you scared Trump will kill democracy??”

Dog what democracy? There are so many policies with mass public support that are nowhere near to getting enacted. If the ruling class just let everyone keep voting but didn’t count the ballots and picked whichever candidate they wanted to win would we even notice? Doubtful

They’re just going to follow America’s lead on this huh? I guess China wouldn’t be tied into the situation in a way they’d be able to realistically pursue a peace plan the way Xi could with Putin during the Ukraine war. Wild but I guess those carrier groups really do dissuade foreign intervention

I'm gonna become the gosh dang joker yall

I spell things correctly on herw

It worked flawlessly for Hilldawg

Holy afro-pessimism Batman!

Yes. Most people do not understand how petit the petit bourgeois are going by strict Marxist orthodoxy. Most of the people that we think of as petit bourgeoisie are actually the moyen bourgeoisie. The bourgeois who don’t sell their labor but are too small to be of significance ie car dealership owners, chain franchisees, etc. To make the point, Uber drivers are technically petit bourgeoisie because they own their cars. It’s why some modern scholars have argued for new categories like the “precariat,” arguing that Marx’s class categories are outdated in a modern context

I think the unadjusted for truth is the proletarianization of the petit bourgeoisie. Think about the difference between someone who owned a limo and ran a car service in the 80s vs an Uber driver now. Capitalism consumes itself in pursuit of profits as the entire world is ‘rationalized’ and commodified in the face of an overall decline in the rate of profit

This is the more fucked up version of the Dave Chapelle baby-selling-crack bit

The coup in Bolivia shook me of any demsoc liberalism I still had in me and made me understand that a worker’s movement can only be defended with force

How did Canada end up with all the Ukrainian collaborationist expats? Were they doing an operation paperclip for wheat farmers instead of rocket scientists?

Our government delivered a overspecific dementy when asked about their conclusions

Could you explain more or do you have a link to the statement I could try to run through google translate? I’m very curious to know how this information is being presented by the German government. This just feels like one of those historically important moments that gets a special blurb in a history textbook and I want to understand how everyone is responding to it

Can anyone who speaks German fill us in on current talking points about this? Are any parties openly acknowledging the US bombing of the nordstream 2 pipeline and the effects it’s having on the German economy or is everyone just pretending that didn’t happen?

Just make sure to call them terrorists before you shoot them and you’re all good
