  • It's part of our super structure that forms our current material conditions. More specifically, it's seen as a panacea to dull the contradictions from every-day life, but it blinds us to further questioning and analysis that would lead us to the formation of antithesis.

    As it is, we cannot simply ban religion. One of the basic human rights is to have freedom of religion. But ultimately we need freedom from religion.

  • They have class consciousness.

  • It is possible, but it would be extremely hard to implement.

    I’d imagine it would be like the first Comintern, where it coordinated the strike actions of various unions etc, independent of their governments.

    It wouldn’t be like the United Nations, where it is largely ineffective and heavily biased towards the west.

  • I ask for primary sources. That shuts them up

  • My guess is they want to avoid war.

  • The US has literal military bases in the gulf states. All the weapons they use are from the west.

    The Iraq war was to literally control Iraqi oil companies, and they currently do. Otherwise they wouldn’t be be able to do this:

    If they want to cut off energy to China (say in the event of war, etc) it’d be trivial. They don’t need to take over Iran to do so. They can simply strike from where they are.

  • I’d have to give some pushback on this theory because China’s top three imports are from Russia, the Gulf states, and Iraq, followed by Canada and the US.

    The US already controls the gulf states and Iraq. China neighbours Russia. Controlling Iran doesn’t do anything in cutting off petroleum to China.

  • US foreign policy has always been to align foreign nations to US interests. In an ideal world, every state in the Middle East would be subject to US imperialism.

    The current situation is that all countries neighbouring Israel is compromised and Iran is the only country left standing.

    The IRGC is designated as a terrorist group as retaliation for the west’s failed coup attempt.

  • Yep. Just a heads up for anyone who decides to click around the site.

  • Mises.org is a libertarian / neolib thinktank.

  • Everybody should learn how it works and how to use it, so as to understand its limitations.

    I had stable diffusion for a time before deleting it for space on my drive. You need to generate 10 images to find a good seed, and then tweek the prompt to get the pic you want. Lastly, you might need to touch-up some details.

    It's like rolling a dice until you get the number you want.

  • I'm back.

  • Honestly it’s difficult to tell. My friend is a huge China Stan and straight up told me that he’s a communist but I’m still not 100% positive.
