I'm hoping China completes its transition to communism before any extremely business oriented actors get a hold of it. I promise the capitalists that are allowed to exist over there are plotting and scheming. I just want to see something other than capitalism get a true shot. Or something. I'm tired of living in a world where everything sucks.
The sooner you realize that the American capitalists want westerners to irrationally hate Putin (like this meme points out) the sooner that this world can stop sucking.
Understanding how the American capitalists use propaganda and controlled narratives (like how the Russian or Chinese capitalists are as big a problem for the world as the American capitalists for example) is the first step to changing this world.
The fact of the matter is that the Chinese have their capitalists on a leash; the American capitalists have complete control in the United States; and the Russian capitalists are such small potatoes in comparison that they're almost irrelevant to the discussion.
I'm not gonna pretend like any imperial power is good. The sooner people realize that monolithic power structures are the problem the sooner things will get better. States dont exist to protect people, they exist to control them.
They're never good, but they're useful sometimes and blanket dismissals can be wasted opportunities in a world dominated by capitalism.
They're useful for dividing humans on arbitrary lines to turn us against one another for power and resources.
that too; more than one thing can be true at the same time.
