Lol maybe "socialists" who watch vaush or some other pedo
Lmao
Though I guess this is who some of these videos are for. Well meaning (I hope) liberals who are still on the fence about socialism for some reason.
Fucking dumbass didn't even do 2 seconds of googling lmfao
Just as capitalist states are "authoritarian" against working class interests, socialist states are "authoritarian" against capitalist interests.
The state is a tool for one class to oppress another. The goal of (most) communists is to transition from capitalism — where the capitalist class is in power — to a stateless, classless communist society via socialism — where the working class is in power.
Public perception of which is more "authoritarian" therefore depends on which class is currently in power and is able to manufacture consent, and that is the capitalist class in the vast majority of the world right now since the USSR's overthrow.
It's defense because the US military industrial complex is "defending" its profit margins by creating instability far enough away that it won't affect them, but that they can profit off of
It very much is. The campus protests and the crackdown on them are common in both, and Hamas and the Palestinian resistance also mirror the Viet Cong in both their tactics — using tunnels, taking hostages, guerilla warfare — and their goal of driving out the occupation and reuniting their country.
Lmfao
Fucking finally. Was disgusting hearing Erdogan pretend to be pro-Palestine while being a primary trading partner of the occupation. I guess the internal pressure from the population is finally getting to them.
Lmao I wonder if it was intentional to say this during the Columbia university protests and troll amerikkka
Almost 10 years after the ‘Made in China 2025’ targets were drawn up, we investigate just how many have been achieved.

>- Sanctions and tariffs implemented as part of a US-led trade war have put increased pressure on China’s manufacturing industry > >- Despite that, a Post investigation can reveal a large proportion of the ‘Made in China 2025’ 10-year targets have been achieved
> In 2015, China set out on an ambitious 10-year plan – dubbed “Made in China 2025” – to achieve self-reliance, innovation and strength in the manufacturing industry within 10 years.
>Back then, China stood at the lower end of the global industrial value chain, producing mostly cheap and technically backward products.
> In 2018, then-US president Donald Trump tried to upset China’s plan by initiating a trade war. The US government sanctioned Chinese hi-tech enterprises, put up high tariffs and conducted a nationwide investigation of scientists collaborating with China. After Joe Biden took over as US leader in 2021, he went a step further by imposing measures such as a chip ban on China.
> But based on official books published a decade ago and other authoritative sources, the Post has compiled more than 260 goals previously proposed under the plan. These goals span 10 key areas, many involving highly specialised and complex technologies.
> And the analysis confirms that more than 86 per cent of these goals have been achieved, with some others likely to be completed later this year or next. Meanwhile some of the targets, such as electric vehicles (EV) and renewable energy production, have been well surpassed.

So the "criticisms" in question is spreading imperial core propaganda
That was in response to the US placing similar missiles in Turkey and Italy and threatening the USSR in 1961.
I don't see Russia putting an embargo on those two now 60 years later. Though ig that's not a one-to-one comparison since Russia's ruled by capitalists now.
The democratic party is right-wing though
Imagine paying money for software 😎
Uncritical support to the DPRK in its heroic struggle against the genocidal US empire
Sanctions can't block access to education and software lol.
Sanctions placed upon the North Korean regime, for its ongoing human rights abuses and nuclear warfare programs
Damn where are the sanctions on the US? You know, the only country crazy enough to use those nukes on actual human beings instead of just using it as a deterrence like the DPRK does?

> Over the last five months, we've seen an unprecedented escalation in violence in Gaza. Most people I know feel like they're going crazy. We're all seeing the same footage, but no matter how angry we all get and how much we try to change public opinion, nothing seems to come of it. So...what can we do? Has evil won?
Demonstrators say the West supports Rwanda which is accused of backing M23 rebels fighting government forces in North Kivu.
