You’ve heard of no true Scotsman, well that’s compared to me, the only true Scotsman. Everything I am is all things that are forever and not, therefore the fallacy isn’t.

Oh thank God that’s not an ear canal with a worm in it.

Usually the exception. For every one of them that lasts till 90 there’s a dozen more dead by 70 via lung cancer, heart disease, or other truly horrifically painful way to die.

It’s reddit. As in reddit right now reddit. Just without the ads.

Also the entire point of federated networks is decentralization, if any one instance is too big, it risks snowballing into the only populated instance.

Trump et al aren’t a threat to the oligarchy or capital. Actual people rising up and doing violence against their owners is a threat to the oligarchy and capital.

It’s how you know (besides dems post loss behavior) that Trump isn’t anything different and nothing will massively change.

Oh no, you’ve never read theory or anything even marginally related to economics from anything but a corporatist perspective.

I’m so sorry.

Anyway this discussion is above you. China is a socialist state. They are a dictatorship of the proletariat, not of capital. Their economy is centrally planned. Their economy is 60% publicly owned. The part of the economy that is a private market has nothing to do with anything essential to life. No part of Marx nor Lenin’s work precludes a market economy. Not one single part.

Read your theory.

Sure. See the bill introduced by the Biden administration for exact details on that. Trump aligned Republicans stopped it from getting passed, as it would have removed he entirety of Trump’s immigration platform.

NATO has nothing to do with brics. Given you have no idea how Chinas economy works I guess I shouldn’t have expected you to know the difference between economic and military pacts.

Over half the world’s GDP and population are a part of brics btw.

The nordics have less than 40% of their economy in the private sector? Got literally any sources for that little one?
