i yearn for the day iran (or russia) enters a joker mode and launches a bucket of bolts into the orbit to kessler musk bullshit. smdh, for a price of 100 million you can explode 1 trillion evaluation, this is untapped market arbitrage opportunity

it's not that, it's that you have to fucking socialize means of production, you don't have to reinvent management from first principles each time and listen to institutionalists, you have to make support for porky structural impossibility. and your only opposition party should be to your left and/or anarchists

and then you look at your imports and start eliminating hard dependencies, food most of all, energy imports if you have them, and then go up maslow pyramid according to the size of your economy

obviously small countries can't produce phones or anything complicated, they can however eliminate windows licenses payments in government

They don’t mention it by name, but to be honest I assumed from this it to be real (fits their mo), if there are swedish comrades saying otherwise i will stand corrected though (and in the tweets replies people didn’t dispute it). I suspect this was around 2012-14, at the edge of occupy/davos/g8 protests

Lula aurafarming aid to bolivian government instead of sending oil to cuba, another day, another banger

Like i understand brazil aspires to be subimperial nation and all, but aside from construction they don’t have the juice i feel like. fucking over venezuela didn’t bring them juicy contracts, as compared to euros/canadians/seppos? is there some shadow brazilian agroconglomerate i don’t know about? is this for the love of the game?

In reality, a just society requires a vigilant State and civil institutions that are capable of overcoming the singular mentality of efficiency, and of ensuring that resources, creative solutions and regulations favor the most vulnerable.

the state has been the opposite of that, bro, for 40 years, let it go.

In that vision, the fullness of life is equated with having more, reducing weakness, eliminating uncertainty and exerting total control.

which is fine aspiration to have for humans, unfortunately, that aspiration is only allowed for bourgeoisie

*bro hadn't mentioned sanctions once, but did spend his time about nebulous cybersecurity, jihadi operatives and criminal networks. oh well, feely sections about humans are fine
