The good years for the Soviet Union were after 1945 and prior to 1973,
after it defeated 80-90% of Nazi military aggression and before start of the petrol dollar scheme.

But we can also fast forward towards a new wave of communism.
It's inevitable. The petrol dollar scheme only delayed it by a few decades and there's no more schemes to be had that would have the same impact.
LNG schemes, kidnapping Maduro, invading Iran, world tariffs, AI, none of it is going to help stop the resurgence.

I know. The first attempt to achieve that on a human just started this year.

We can get rid of them for good.

sudo rm -rf ../* for a brief moment
I was not at /run/media/F16C-BD43/boot
Sudo lost.
Move lost.
Copy lost.
No cloud.
Undecryptable.
Everything else worked.
I said my goodbyes.

Angry? Annoyed?

This is the best I can do for now.
What's missing is an eternal youth fountain and
a sex ratio that makes the "I dream of Jeannie plot" harem anime relationships possible,
while not straining other people's orientations.

Do you use vim as your default text editor?

Not just text editor, but also IDE via rocks.nvim.
Ever since I wanted to edit some file that had like 2000 lines and I just wanted to quickly go to line 1164.
Nano wasn't cut out for that and I hadn't heard of emacs.
But I use a Typematrix dvorak keyboard, so I had to rearrange all the command.
Now I'm stuck with it and I enjoy it.

If you do not, have you ever been in a situation you could do nothing but use vim?

Yeah, whenever I type git commit -m "message goes here"
Also, I wanted to program on a server, so I ssh'd into it and decided that vim was the way to go as an IDE.

Did Jeff Flowers just tacitly admit that he and his council members are spying on all citizens through cell phones, the internet and security cameras 24/7?

Plus, China has billionaires. Any truly non-capitalistic country wouldn’t have ~~ billionaires~~ oligarchs. Nor would they have factory workers working for 75 hours per week.

I would define a transition from capitalism to socialism as
Merchants & lawyers out of power
and engineers (laborers) & academics into power,
which is what China has.
The US isn't failing true capitalism while still secretly being feudalistic,
just because land lords and TV evangelists exist,
while George Bush Jr, eldest son of George Bush Senior, became leader of the land in 2000.
China just had a capitalistic phase due to Deng's reforms,
just like the US had a socialist phase due to Roosevelt's reforms.
Both of those did not last, because ultimately those in power are
socialist for China (engineers & academics)
and capitalist for the US (merchants & lawyers).
The capitalist phase is already waning under Xi,
just like the socialist phase did under Nixon did for the US.

Considering that China is known for its heavy censorship and is in good cahoots with Russia, it isn’t racist to be suspicious.

Lol. Do you really use such language with your own nation?
If not, you are selective and that begs the question as to why
and what pattern would emerge out of what you are selective to.
I highly doubt you ever said something along the lines of
"The EU/UK is in good cahoots with the US",
despite the fact that EU NATO chief Rutte openly called Trump "daddy".
I don't see Putin doing that with Xi. Putin is not even running
a socialist country.
And Putin talks about a multipolar world in which Russia is one of those poles.

I genuinely believed that AI this capable would be available in 2010 from 1990,
as sci-fi movies were showing flying cars, skyscraper cities and space travel.
Things slowed down a lot in the 2000s and got weird.

It wasn't by design?

 

Mine is that since the US is turning more and and more into a scam economy, the problem then becomes that they'll eventually run out of other people's money.

The Soviet Union on the other hand had a near unsolvable fossil fuel issue crippling their economy.

 

I'm from the Netherlands.

"WEF Bilderberg globalist POS bankster" is the most accurate description I've ever heard of when imagining a center-right or liberal person.

 

Since four of the first five answers I've seen are so mild, let me give you what my list would include and tell me if I'm wrong or if I'm missing something:

  • Imprisonment and possessions seized for all those known to have committed child sexual abuse from the Epstein files
  • Imprisonment and possessions seized for all those related to Trump's corruption schemes which are:
    • Stealing oil from Venezuela
    • Insider trading during the current aggressive unprovoked full-scale genocide against Iran, Lebanon and possibly all nations in the Middle East, including US all allied nations in the Middle East except for Israel.
    • Cryptocoin frauds
  • Imprisonment and possessions seized for all those involved in war crimes
  • Designate all detractors of these demands as rape, murder, thievery, and pedophile protectors

  • Establishment of an independent Commission of Inquiry to investigate allegations of ICE brutality
  • Retraction of any designation for this protest made as anything other than peaceful
  • Release of every political arrest made during this protest and any protest prior that are still in prison with exception of the Jan 6th Capitol storming
  • Reimprisonment of every pardoned criminal during Trump's presidency

  • An amendment that abolishes the first past the post winner-takes-all system.
    • Instead it should have indirect elections to prevent campaign fraud (so you only elect local leaders, who elect those above them) and an approval voting system, but if that is deemed to radical here, then at least have initial proportional representation, with a majority amount of seats shuffled towards the winning coalition in order to prevent lame duck governance.
    • If indirect elections with approval voting is considered acceptable, I suggest that each for political position one must complete a civil exam created by an independent institution. Failing to pass will result into disqualification for that term's elections.
  • An amendment that guarantees all citizens, including prisoners universal basic income
  • An amendment that guarantees all citizens ownership of basic housing
  • An amendment that guarantees all citizens ownership a basic amount of land that can prove themselves to be Indigenous First Nations US-soil Native American
  • Rewrite the 13th amendment to abolish of slavery in prisons
  • An amendment that secures roaming rights by making any vagrancy and loitering law illegal
    • Have the amendment above include making it illegal to restrict access to gated communities. So no walking or driving around 10-meter-high, kilometer-wide walls.
  • Amendment that guarantees continuous slower traffic paths through faster traffic paths, so walkways > bike lanes > roads.

  • Repeal the Patriot Act
  • Universal Health Care
  • Nationalize all casinos except those owned by native Americans
  • End all sanctions and embargoes on other countries
  • Close down the Board of Peace
  • Close down all ICE death camps
