  • “This Is Not America” Is the Most Dangerous Lie We Keep Telling Ourselves

    Jump

  • The idea that large-scale state violence and repression are foreign to US soil is a dangerous fiction.

    Large-scale state violence and repression is more Anglo-American than apple pie.And the article is still racial and xenophobic as it doesn't understand the situation in Afghanistan, Iran or China.Each of these countries have had to deal with movements equal to the Jan 6ers,a group of radical anti-democratic people that wants to take their country a step backwards from the current one,except in their countries, these groups are more emboldened by US monetary support and therefore more violent.

    What's happening in Iran for example are "pro-king" rallies instead of "no-king" rallies,so the protesters in Iran fly directly into the face of what Minneapolis protesters stand forand it's the Iranian people and their government that is fighting back against these monarchists.

  • Europe must stop ‘dreaming’ about defence without US, Rutte warns

    I agree.It should get real about defense without the US.

    By the way, this is said during a US attempt to invade EU territory,but this guy thinks it's still more important to be friends with the country that's invading youand to be enemies with a country that's trying to regain it's old territory back that's being suppressed,by a US puppet administration.

  • Kallas privately complains that von der Leyen is a dictator

  • I don't know what she's complaining about.Is von der Leyen not sinking deep to the US and Israel enough in her eyes?

  • If everybody at ICE protests showed up with masks and a gun would there be more or less violence?

  • What's your favourite historical photo and why?

    Jump

  • I like pictures with bright colors in them.To me that's a sign towards a bright present and future.

    All those war, hunger and oppression photos just depress me.

  • No, they do not.

    They are two economic systems predicted by Karl Marx to be superseding capitalism,with communism superseding socialism.

    Socialism is what China currently is.

    Communism is thought to be like star trek.No one needs to use currency for their survival.There's no large gap between the rich and the poor.Government plays a small to non-existent role.

  • The USian way of viewing socialism is "centre-right liberalism + religious democratics + social liberalism + social democracy + democratic socialism + marxist leninism" = socialism

  • Welcome to Lemmy, where 'socialist countries' means nations that follow Marxist-Leninism and not a form of modern utopian socialism better known as social democracy that took bits and pieces of Marxist-Leninism under a capitalist umbrella.

    So not like Denmark, but like China or Vietnam.

  • Disagree.Tributary states make the US empire extensions look more free than they are.Serf states are a better description of what they are like.Or perhaps sycophant states considering how eager they are serving the US.

  • What's up with the high standard requirement?Does the Chinese government need to be absolute perfection in order to be miles better than the US government?

  • Several countries have overlapping claims, but for some reason Westerners are only interested in China’s claims, because Western media has one specific narrative it wants to tell. Maybe Westerners should mind their own business and let countries on the other side of the world sort out their own disputes.

    You're forgetting to tell the commenter previously, these islands were previously occupied by France and Japan,one colonizer kicked out of Asia and the other being the loser of world war II.

  • No. You need lots of energy/electricity to economically grow and the US has fossil fuels in abundance,especially coal, but it's very high in the other two sectors as well.Despite that, the Soviet Union managed to grow much faster with much less, same with China.But the Soviet Union doesn't have much coal and natural gas didn't become big and cheapuntil the turn of the millennium.And coal has been very important in the 20th century as that provides cheap electricity, while oil mainly provides cheap transportation. The problem with oil is that it's also easy to transport itself, so as a country like Saudi Arabia which has no coal and only oil, there's a large chance that it will get stolen from any countries with massive coal deposits and even a larger chance for the oil to be sold by a tiny group of elites of that country to countries with massive coal deposits.

    The US, despite its absolutely massive fossil fuel deposits compared to the rest of the world,started to falter in the early 1970s as they had an internal oil peak, crashing their economy.The Soviet Union was thriving, but still had a long way to catch up as it had been a monarchy up until the early 20th century,plus setbacks from invasions by Germany who put all their weight on the Soviet Union and still lost.The US then blackmailed Saudi Arabia just in time and was able to prop up their system and even thriveby forcing Saudi Arabia to invest into the US or be invaded. It allowed the US to go into massive debts without worry.The same happened to other oil producing nations.

    It's the US whose underlying institutional failures are showing right now.China has risen in the 20th century because it's expensive coal became cheap enough over time, as all the cheaper coal had been used up. Russia managed to regain some of its power with natural gas.

    But since the early 2020s solar power has become the energy/electricity rising star and solar power is far more evenly distributed than fossil fuels.There's no blackmail scheme stopping this and we're already seeing China haven taken a giant lead in solar power, wind power and battery storage, while the US is trying to instigate a civil war while trying to ban wind power and attempting to go from blackmail to direct oil theft.
