  • Is everything going to pop, cascade, or deflate?

    Jump

  • This is all just personal opinions but I like to think it is based on material reality even if it is optimistic.

    1. The AI bubble will pop and hit like the the 2008 crash on steroids. 1929 won't happen because the dust bowl was caused by generations of ignorant farmers but that doesn't mean there wont be bread lines. (there kinda all ready are with 16% of american families with children getting food stamps) usa will use the poverty to increase the size of ICE and the millitary.
    2. I think a war in west Asia will pull Venezuela off the burner before it starts. If it does start I don't think it will go well or america but the increased manpower from the economic crash could be used in human wave tactics. I've heard analysts say that usa really can't take on Venezuela based on how much power they used in Iraq and Veitnam. America's airforce is half as big as it was in 2003 and most of the planes are old with only 650 f35s. Venezuelans are prepared for a guerilla war in the best terrain for that kind of war. There may be some collaborators inside Venezuela but there are less than usa expects and they are going to mostly be urban middle/upper class types who won't pick up a gun.
    3. Taiwan will fizzle. Peaceful reunification is becoming more popular with average Taiwanese people especially younger people. America couldn't possibly win in the south China sea in their current state and they have no prospects in increasing their chances in the foreseeable future.
    4. europe and the banderites will remain intransigent but they have nothing left to fight with. I think Russia will take Keiv and Odessa. They'll ransom keiv for a peace deal but keep a garrison there with the rump Ukraine as a DMZ. Russia will agree to not have troops in rump ukraine but retain the right to airstrikes against military targets with joint task force of nato Russian and Chinese inspectors doing analysis of strikes to keep them honest.

  • Can anyone end the Ukraine war if Kiev refuses every compromise?

  • Russia can.

  • Good news! That sounds like progress toward a possible recovery.

  • Why is the western left so anti-communist?

    Jump

  • Even infiltrators are not immune to being influenced by the views of the people they’re supposed to be working against.

    This is really important. Feds are still part of the working class and susceptible to class consciousness. If you suspect someone of being a fed just denounce their reactionary ideas as they show up. If a person consistently pushes reactionary ideas despite being corrected they should be removed from your group regardless of if they are a fed or not. If someone starts fedjacketing denounce that shit because it only serves the purpose of the ruling class.

  • Anti-communist says what? Edit: its a way better video than the title would lead you to believe

    Johns Hopkins University, and previously at the Middle Eastern Studies program at Harvard University,

    "the Johns Hopkins Zionist society was one of the first members of the Intercollegiate Zionist Association, and its professors and students were represented on the Association's national board."

    And do I even need to go into Harvard?

  • How likely is that in the future naturalized citizens in the USA start getting their citizenship revoked for communist activity?

    Jump

  • They have passed bills like that in the past but 285-98 is a new thing. Last time it was 218-209

  • How likely is that in the future naturalized citizens in the USA start getting their citizenship revoked for communist activity?

    Jump

  • They just passed a bi partisan bill denouncing the "horrors of socialism." If that isn't prep work for striping citizenship of communists and other socialists I don't know what is.

  • China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice

    Jump

  • They were doing so well until the last paragraph

    This is not to congratulate China for its authoritarian government, for its repression of minorities or for the iron fist it deploys against any form of dissent. But it merits pondering how this undemocratic government could successfully slash its poverty rate when the richest and oldest democracy in the world wouldn’t.

    Its so pathetic. "China is so much better to its people but they are still evil." fucking clown show.

  • the Guardian's job is to tell progressive liberals what they should think. They don't have a "target audience." They just monopolize the "center left" media space and dress up in semi palatable prose, the fascist demands of the capitalist class.

  • From an outsiders perspective at the current rate it could start next year.

  • US senators say Rubio told them Trump’s Ukraine peace plan is Russia's 'wish list'

    Jump

  • Rubio doesn't seem to get how war works. When there is a war the side that wins gets everything they want. I suppose its understandable that he's confused since americans tell themselves they never lost a war but also never seem to achieve their objectives.

  • Venezuelans rounded up in a dramatic midnight raid but never charged with a crime

    Jump

  • Disappointing. I thought from the headline this would be a happy story about collaborators inside Venezuela getting rounded up for chatting with the CIA.

    Instead its more gloom.
