PRC is capitalism with some controls. USSR attempted socialism but failed with varying degrees. Cuba is a dictatorship of Castro family. Vietnam was socialist but moved to a PRC model. DPRK is dictatorship.

Communist states require capitalism to some extent as they need the modes of production to exist before the modes of production can be democratized. In the real world this strongly implies that communism would be post capitalist. The problem almost all communist states suffered is via creation of a vanguard party which oversees the transition from the existing structures to actual communism. In many cases vanguard never relinquishes power and becomes the very entity that they set to destroy. Revolution is continous and requires context to succeed. In this case, any structure must be opposed to make sure that power do not get concentrated. This implies that absolute systems cannot exist. Only decentralized systems which cooperate on some principles with each other can solve the issue of power concentration.

Stealing this meme. Too good.

Any structure which has hierarchy in it with control structures away from people suffers from the same issue. People must own things.

Yup. Majority of US lives in 3rd world conditions so the oligarchy can live like literal Pharaohs.

Managers are latter. They don’t do much work or deliver any work that is critical to the company to operate. They are very good at corporate speak and climbing.

In US you have to pay tax as well as pay extra for insurance. The insurance is not a full insurance as well. There is copay and a certain value below which insurance does not even start. Its a scam.

Healthcare IIRC is free in China. I am not sure whether something changed or not but it was free of cost.

There is a ceasefire in Gaza according to Rashida Tlaib, Jill Stein and Kshama Sawant.

It’s the other way round IMO. It’s incredibly racist but the misogyny is even more. I have lived and traveled in US and the racism exists outside of major cities but misogyny is universal. Even in liberal cities you can be sexist in the open, in the hiring practices etc.

US working class is not going to get any benefit of this assuming that US is able to bring the manufacturing back. The robots are more cost effective than paying US working wage in many cases. They are going to automate the factories.

Now coming to bringing back manufacturing, the carrot approach usually works better. Its possible to move some part of critical infrastructure back. Example is semi conductor chips. What tariffs do is opposite. Tariffs forces countries to move supply chain away from US and eventually moving away from US dollar as reserve. Now normally this would result in a war. The problem is US cant go to a war with China. There are 3 nuclear countries in that region. SEA wont even help US against China. Same goes for India and Russia. Its not afghanistan anymore. US loses its bases in entirety of Asia as a result of this and dollar will be thrown out of the equation.

America is more sexist than racist. The problem is its incredibly racist to begin with in first place.

Trump tower gaza coming up next. Thanks to Jill Stein, Rashid Tlaib and Kshama Sawant. Genocide will be solved since there wont be any Palestinians left. Brilliant move by Pro Palestinian reactionaries. Bravo Rashida, Kshama and Jill. Bravo

You had me at Elon died. ❤️

EU should target the services. US exports services like google, meta etc than goods. If that happens, US goes to depression.

That was by mistake. This lady will be deported with intent to the infamous El Salvador prison.

Well color me stupid color me gone.

Its possible to add free for all except US govt and that does not stop it from being free for the rest of the world.

I see a lot of Russian and Chinese bots as well in Shitter(previously Twitter).

What is the end game here? A war? There is no war against China that US can win unless India and to lesser extent Russia becomes antagonistic to China. Thats not happening.

There will be supply chain shocks. There is no country in the world that can absorb the entirety of Chinese production like US could. This would cause recession for China which would highly increase the chances of war in Taiwan strait.
