Arbitrary enforcement of laws would be the US, sometimes the law is enforced, sometimes not. Canada did something unlawful, because the US wanted it.

Leads to people feeling forced into positions where they are considered overqualified, tho. That can lead to braindrain.

He dead.

Gulag, long stay.

He’s a trad-gooner.

Then you just need to waste more time on history and politcal writings.

You’re right, they’re not used much in everyday english. They’re used in spcialist jargon tho, the difference between how specialist nerds talk and how normal people talk is always very different.

You need to waste more time on reading political stuff.

Latifundium? Bellicose? Effete?

1. is very common to use regarding the roman empire and when analysing its decline, and general imperal decline.
2. literally means “warlike”, just sounds nicer
3. is a good term to describe the UN and EU

3/4 were pretty normal. Maybe just work on your eloquence a bit?

Ukranian media is so free, it is even free of ukrainian funding!

How would you define socialism?

Transitionary stage towards communism. During this stage the makings of capitalism will by necessity persist for some time. More recent theoreticians further devided this stage into further substages.

Your comparsion of the USSR and Jugoslawia with the PRC has one glaring problem: They are not around anymore, the PRC is. Something broke their backs, the PRC being still around means that the presence of some billionaires(which China slowly taxes out of existence actually, something learned from the Mongolian PR) or their absence wasn’t it.

Turns out one should analyse material reality and keep idealism such as morals out of it. It is not important if there are some billionaires or not, it is important if they hold state power or not. In the PRC, they clearly do not. Thus insisting on bringing up that point of billionaires all the time is hitting a dead horse.

Insisting on injecting moralism into marxism is fundamentally revisionist. Marxism is a materialist philosophy, thus the injection of moralism is a revision of the fundamentals of it (can’t get any more fundamental), which is considered revisionism among communists. So no, I am not a revisionist.

Words have no meaning for libs.

When you press is so free, it’s literally funded by a foreign government.

That comes down to romantic languages being more widespread. English is a edge case. It actually is a germanic language like german, but was influenced so much by french that it has more romantic loanwords than germanic ones. Furthermore, it got so simplified during its colonial era that most of what makes germanic languages precise (but a removed to learn) got thrown out.

Meanwhile german got lots of latin influences, with plenty of loanwords from neighbouring languages, but the structure of sentences barely changed over time.

Imo those are not really the same thing. Bürgertum refers purely to people living in cities, those can own Means of Production or not. Bourgeoisie are always owners of MoP.

Sadly it is not as impossible as it seems. Panama channel, Greenland to seal the arctic route and the strait of Malacca. Some military on these points effectively seals the pacific. Going around these points is prohibitively expensive.

The US is reining in Panama, wants to pute more troops in Greenland and is heavily pushing for regime change in Myanmar and Thailand…

Leaves the land routes: Pakistan is instable and a US removed, Afghanistan still not peaceful, Syria regime changed, Iran very much in the crosshairs of US hawks, The border area between Russia and Ukraine is in flames already, regime change operations in Georgia, Azerbaijan openly supported by the west, Isn’treal being Isn’treal.

Also not rosy.

Got a chuckle from me, Reddit island farms all the Ls.

And China is their biggest market.

Yet when push came to shove they immediately sided with the genociders over the victims

And when the SMO started, they immediately sided with the guys waving the fascist flags.

If Europe finally stood up for itself we wouldn’t even have this problem.

Because then the US would not been able to coup Ukraine in 14.

Rules for thee, but not for me.
