  • I don’t understand the fixation with the “2 party system” when the two parties have the same policies, both are pro-wall, pro-kids in cages, pro-israel, and have demonstrated no will to protect abortion or trans rights. And the party that’s making you lose the ability to vote 3rd party is the Democratic Party.

    Fascism is not something you simply vote against, it’s not up to you or some large section of the population in some elections. Fascism is capitalism in decay, the response to a deep crisis that needs violence to bring capital back to safety, and it is implemented through any means necessary. Is “installing a dictator” necessary? No, because none of the two parties represent a threat to capital, and in fact they serve capital, and their hegemony remains unchallenged (and everyone in their way gets the media against them, gets prosecuted, or plain killed). Both parties have continued their policies (Kamala even criticized Trump for not building the wall he promised), they work in tandem. The elections are already a sham, working perfectly fine. The dictatorship is already there.

































  • the PRC not merely succeeded in subjecting the developed countries to trade competition, but also engineered the deindustrializa­tion of both developed economies and many middle-income ones

    “Please help, China shit my pants 😭”

    Deng Xiaopeng’s famous “South­ern Tour,” which opened the floodgates to foreign investment in Chinese manufacturing, took place about a year before Bill Clinton became president, and for most of the three decades since, the PRC was more a source of workhorse products than advanced ones. The G7 countries appear to have believed that either the PRC would democratize, or it would cease ascending the ladder of growth and sophistication.

    Just straight up implying China should’ve become a full-on western puppet, ffs
