Ok, then it looks like we are on the same page on that.

Though, seeing tankies support Russia and China tells me they don't care about social aspects of communism, so the only thing left is authoritarianism.

The term might be even more appropriate now as it originates, because they basically supported using tanks against the population to squash Hungarian Uprising. A totally authoritarian move.

At that point there's not much difference between them and today's far right. I mean tankies will openly say they support communism, but their actions shows that's not what they are truly after.

To me it looks like tankies were product of Soviet propaganda while MAGA is a product of Russian propaganda, and that's why they both share so many common views.

That's because of corruption. As of now communism to be implemented requires authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is the main reason why communism is bad.

Currently both, tankies as well as far right don't really care about socialism (if tankies cared about socialism they wouldn't support China or Russia). All they are supporting is authoritarianism.

What far right labels as far left (in US at least) are people who support liberal democracy with protections and safety nets for working class. The "most radical" Bernie Sanders is exactly for that.

There might be actual communist parties in Europe, they hardly have any support.

Yes pro authoritarian far left that's basically communism.

China is hardly a communism right now, Russia definitively isn't a communism. So the current tankies that are worshipping Russia and China aren't really for communism, they are only pro authoritarianism.

They are actually more aligned with MAGA than anything, the only difference is just that they don't have problem openly supporting Russia and China.

Since this is world community there are people in other countries, and might be different definition what's far left. But in US what authoritarians are labeling as far left are people who still want liberal democracy, but with social programs (what you have in EU, especially in Scandinavian countries). The "furthest left" politicians, Bernie Sanders is basically advocating for medical care for all Americans and taxes on rich. Basically so the government works for the people but against them.

Today's tankies (appropriately to the name) are pro authoritarianism and it just "happens" that's what far right Russia is. Even China isn't truly a communism, but they are both authoritarian.

This is why you always block ads and trackers. It never pays to worry about revenue of "poor sites"

Take a look at content of this book (published in 1997): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics#Content

It was unthinkable that brexit would happen back then. But a lot of things described happened, because Putin is following this plan.

War in 2022 kind of put things sideways, but now it's resuming with trump.

Those oligarchs have no loyalty to the countries they live in, they do whatever makes them richer. They are the most bribeable people.

IMO, everyone in UK should be protesting and demanding to rejoin EU. Russia successfully was able to make UK withdraw through disinformation, and this only made UK weaker.

Did Zuck's check not clear yet?

More up to date:

He suspended it for 90 days and also previously threatened that there will be more, so we don't even know if next week there won't be new tariffs.

Actually 4 casinos:

Trump Taj Mahal in 1991, Trump Plaza and Trump Castle in 1992, and Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts in 2004

The market reaction is dumb. 90 days bus very little for companies to adapt when years are needed.

I think this but it's just the people seeing his tweet immediately before he lifted the restrictions.

Looks like we are still heading for recession and Treasury bills interest is still jumping up.
