  • Yanis Varoufakis: "Big Tech are the new Soviets. We’re in a planned economy now"

    Jump

  • At least Zizek was entertaining. @cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml

    I will say Varoufakis is at least listenable. I cannot listen to Zizek for more than a minute because he’s really self important, and the guy really needs a tissue to blow his nose with.

    That's by design. They are the same "product" tailored to different audiences; Zizek if you want "edgy and funny" analysis, Varoufakis if you want a "respectable" one. Both will tell you that the problem is we are doing capitalism wrong but at least we're not USSR.

  • Just like for many chauvinists big country doing stuff is imperialism, for Yanis anyone controlling anything makes them a feudal lord.

  • Europe's humiliation over Ukraine

    Jump

  • Yeah, another bad point is that Europe's problem is "bloated welfare spending" and its unwillingness to cut it.

    Do you realize how little that narrows it down?

  • Ownership

  • The meme says nothing against the workers electing a representative. It talks about ownership of the means of production. To use your analogy, the president doesn't own the means of production of a country.

  • Free market? As in, competition between different enterprises? And what do you think happens when one company "wins" that competition? It will use that power to establish a monopoly (or a cartel with a couple buddy companies). Both "free market" and "private monopoly" are capitalist fenomena, just at different stages of development of industry.

  • From the original article:

    Historical origins

    As early as the Qing Dynasty, China has had a tradition of entertaining mourners at funerals. Especially among certain ethnic minorities, such as the Tujia people, there is a tradition of “being happy at the funeral but sad at the wedding.” But the striptease was only added to the funeral entertainment menu in the 1990s. Experts partly attribute such a phenomenon to fertility worship. “In some local cultures, dancing with erotic elements can be used to convey the deceased’s wishes of being blessed with many children,” Huang Jianxing, professor of Fujian Normal University Sociology and History Department, told the Global Times. “According to the interpretation of cultural anthropology, the fete is originated from the worship of reproduction. Therefore the erotic performance at the funeral is just a cultural atavism,” media professor Kuang Haiyan interprets.

  • Romania: The country is undergoing a belated and painful budget reform, and its people are suffering from poverty. That's why Romanians have taken to the streets in a nationwide protest.

  • Yeah, that sounds like Poland.

  • I’m not sure about Ukraine.

    My guess would be Western Ukraine would become another Poland/Baltics, while the Eastern part would form another part of the Russia-Belarus block you mentioned earlier (I feel like KPRF has a lot of sway in the east of Ukraine, they were the main force behind the SMO in the fist place, and established quite a lot of organization there as well as among the troops).
