How are you going to rearrange the eggs when you take out the next egg?

What’s wrong with that analysis?

Xi Jinping is the son of a high ranking politician. How is that not some form of class dynamics?

Socialism does work

USSR failed by having to import grain, while having black earth.

But I am not opposing Socialism.

My point is that right-wing people shouldn’t be ignored, especially not to the point of seeing them as enemies.

The upper class is using the split to reign. Insisting on a solution that has room for improvement locks in the current situation.

the bourgeoisie has been suppressed by Proletarian States, your hypothesis isn’t accurate

But there are priviliged positions of power within those states. It’s just another form to organize power. Those positions will not be available to everybody.

The idea of trying to synthesize a new ideology of left combined with right historically is Social Democracy,

That can’t be all.

As you write, it doesn’t work so something else should be tried.

You could name the main hurdle without becoming a tutor.

Of course there are reasons like no time from working two jobs or union busting behavior as seen from Starbucks or Amazon.

But that leaves enough workers who could run the union.

The main problem is convincing all minimum wage workers to join the union. Somebody has to come up with the necessary communication strategy. Whoever can do that most likely doesn’t work a minimum wage job.

Leftist analysis, which is correct.

Leftist analysis is not correct if the proletariat is stuck where it is.

Not all desires are valid

I would say, not all enactments of desires are acceptable, but invalidating desires by themselves sounds wrong to me. Who decides which desires are valid?

blaming government as the issue when really it’s the fault of Capitalism

Having a strong government to oppose Capitalism doesn’t help either. Capitalism is just one form of maintaining power. The people with capital will become the people at the top of the government if Capitalism is abolished by government.

Why not go full Hegel, treat left and right as thesis and antithesis and come up with something new?

MLK was killed because he was trying to overcome the suppression. It is the workers’ abilities because leaders could have picked up where he was stopped. There are no leaders, which to me means, there are no abilities.

A bit outdated, but Trump is indeed aiming at the consumer to hit the tarket of bringing back production to the USA.

https://unherd.com/2025/02/why-trumps-tariffs-are-a-masterplan/

What doesn’t fit is that the elephant in the room, China, will still overtake the USA in the remaining technological areas with which the USA is maintaining its military lead.

Why is the USA isolating itself? Even if Europe plays along and stays on the side of the USA, how is that enough to maintain the global lead?

The context of Project 2025 suggests that this has been debated in depth by many think tanks. How are American billionaires going to succeed when the USA is retreating from the global trade that is creating prosperity for those who participate?

Warum hat die Bahn überhaupt einen Logistikkonzern aufgebaut? Warum kann die Bahn das erfolgreich managen, aber nicht ihr Kerngeschäft? Warum verkauft die Bahn jetzt, wenn es gerade das Sondervermögen für Infrastruktur gibt?

Das sieht für mich wie europäische Industriepolitik aus, von der nur das Ergebnis, nicht aber die Motivation in der Zeitung steht.

Wer trifft diese Entscheidungen und warum dann nicht ein BGE?
