  • It all comes down to competition, the motor of any capitalist society. If an enterprise does not strive to increase productivity, and therefore not generate enough surplus value, it will fall behind and be driven out from the market by other enterprises.

  • LibreOffice can be very customizable. I made it look and function very similar to Word. Also there is an online forum and faq on which users help each other.

  • It's not privatization per se, the state company will still operate normally, though not under a monopolistic framework.

    A private company "will assume full management of the activities at its own expense, account, and risk, after demonstrating its financial and technical capacity through a business plan approved by" the nation's Oil Ministry, according to the law. The legislation provides that ownership of the hydrocarbon reservoirs on which a company will carry out activities remains vested in the state.

    Though what I think is more flagrant from the articles I've read is that disputes between the state and oil companies will be resolved by international arbitration and not state courts, which undermines Venezuelan sovereignty.

    It's definitely a law that was promulgated under pressure by the US administration.

  • There is a neat interview by Breakthrough News regarding this topic. Basically, Scandinavian companies participate in imperialism by outsourcing their labour to third world countries where they could exploit cheap labor and bypass the labor regulations in their own countries of origin. This is a phenomena that is common to all deindustrialized economies that boast about their progressive laws when in reality they are dissimulating exploitation done elsewhere.

  • I guess it's this time of the year when we forget that this sycophant is a right-wing sympathizer.

  • Trump's rise to power was absolutely not by chance. However, your analysis isn't satisfactory from a materialist perspective. Rather, it was the sum of neoliberal policies of the last few decades that radically transformed the material conditions of the United States (and other Western capitalist countries), culminating in several economic crises, most notably in 2008. The working class has suffered the most from deindustrialization and social services defunding, which Trump has perfectly weaponized in his campaigns by promising a fictitious return to an equally fictitious past. You have lower wages? Blame it on the immigrants! No jobs? Blame it on non-whites!! And so forth.

  • Trump and Europe deserve each other.

  • Hell, add in all of Europe. They and Trump deserve each other.

  • Trump's actions are up to par with US legacy of imperialism and war crimes, from genociding native Americans, to staging coup d'etats around the globe on behalf of its oil companies, and aiding the displacement and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Saying that he's acting like a "Russian agent" dissimulates the systemic evilness which the US represents around the world, and blaming his despicable actions on other nations is just as abhorrent.

  • Okay but im saying that trump is specifically acting like a Russian agent

    I think his actions are up to par with US legacy of imperialism and war crimes. Trump is as American as it can get, and saying that he's acting like a "Russian agent" dissimulates the systemic evilness which the US represents, from genociding native Americans, to dtaging coup d'etats around the globe on behalf of its oil companies, and aiding the displacement and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. This is as American as it can get, and blaming those despicable actions on other nations is just as abhorrent.

  • The United States is engaging in war and economic bullying across the globe, disenfranchising millions from the Global South. Whether it benefits Russia or not is impertinent to the crimes the US has commited since its inception.

  • "We're both war criminals who like to massacre brown people and steal their resources, we shouldn't be fighting 🥺"

  • Not exactly sure, but I think in French they don't capitalize post titles... Still very funny.

  • As much as it sounds stupid, this is exactly how most Westerners have viewed West Asia (and still do) since 9/11.

  • Because the socialist government in Venezuela nationalized the oil industry in 2007, which provoked an exodus of foreign oil companies, including American corporations like Exxon. If you look at the past decade, it was clear that an invasion was imminent, given the threatening statements and harsh sanctions by every US administration in the past.

  • The invasion of Carcas especially has to do with oil. The socialist government in Venezuela nationalized the oil industry in 2007, which provoked an exodus of foreign oil companies. And before the operation took place, Trump consulted with Exxon executives on the attack.
