  • Americans don’t have healthcare because their masters don’t want them to have it, not because the money is being spent elsewhere.

    The US has one of the world’s highest per capita public spendings on healthcare and the highest private. There are more money per capita in the American healthcare system than in any other system in human history. The money is there already. What is lacking is political will to make these money go towards actual healthcare instead of grifts, corruption and rent extraction.









  • Communism has a proven consistent track record of working, of improving life expectancy, standards of living, of eradicating illiteracy and of creating gender equality.

    Facts don’t care about the feelings of reactionary debate bros: Communism works.

    It is exactly because communism works that reactionary forces have spent so much effort undermining and smearing communist movements. If it was the case that “communism fails every time” there would be no need for the CIA, for Radio Free Asia, for McCarthyism, for building enough nukes to blow up the entire world several times over, for supporting fascists around the globe. All the imperialist nations would have to do was to lean back and let communism fail on its own terms.











  • The closest I can come is blackletter or fraktur scripts that were once used for generic languages. As far as letters go they are silly and overcomplicated, with Latin scripts being far easier to read and more adaptable to different visual styles.

    With that being said, they do have their own old-timey charm and there is something satisfying in being able to pick up a old book in blackletter and read it when you know that most people can not.

    Fun fact: Blackletter was only used for Germanic languages. If a text contained non-Germanic passages it was normal to set those in Latin letters while the rest was set in blackletter.
