So what has changed from before all of this? What have they agreed to that makes this all worth while?

My company is transitioning to teams. Most of our engineering is on Linux.
Can Microsoft please hurry up and break teams so we can't transition?
The oil price.
It's a response to Putin demanding Ukraine not be resupplied by it's allies. An equally pointless demand that the Europeans are saying "No!" to.
"Bettors lose"... Bookies win.
Is this news?
Don't worry. They've been fired.
Yes, it was a big shift relative to what they're used to, but the fact that even then the LDP is still the largest party must have been soul crushing for some.
If you're only doing university for a piece of paper, you done gone screwed up.
University is to learn how academia works so that you can continue your development independently afterwards. You become capable of researching topics, reading the papers and solving a problem you've never faced before.
Nobody ever tells you this, but your first degree is more about developing you than developing your knowledge. If you just askGPT the whole time you're cheating yourself.
Well... Communism.
Communism as Engels described it is the abolition of private property. Everything is free to all. However the result is a society with no form or structure.
If you want a loaf of bread you go to a baker, right?
- Since you own nothing, you cannot trade for the loaf.
- Therefore bread must be free and the baker must give the bread to you and everyone else in the community.
- The baker feels he's getting a raw deal. It's a lot of work and he has little time for himself.
- Tomorrow he decides he's had enough of baking. He becomes a sculptor reusing his ovens as a kiln.
- The community, bereft of bread and starving, rises up against the former baker forcing them to bake the bread community needs.
- Now we have forced labour.
And that's just bread. What about the people that do all the jobs we don't want to do? Collect rubbish, maintain sewers, or mine minerals?
Communism leads to one of three outcomes IMHO:
- All are equal but because no one can rely on the community for anything everyone must be self-sufficient. Human society regresses back to hunter gathering.
- People are forced into working roles they don't want to do to support the broader community. Some people decide those roles (Ruling class). Some people enforce those roles (Enforcing class). Everyone else is subject to those roles (Working Class). An authoritarian totalitarian state.
- You give people doing vital jobs needed by the community some kind of recompense. If it's someTHING you give them, well that's now private property and you'll get a trading system soon after. If it's power or privilege, you've invented a class system.
So to answer your question....anything that looks like communism because I don't see how it doesn't end in disaster. ...and I'm fine with Socialism. I think the ideal is a socialist/capitalist balance.
When you've got the Pope mobile in your sights, you'd hope that might make you question whether you're on the side of righteousness.
Just as the economy is battling serious headwinds, Mr Xi’s campaign to drive out corruption and enforce loyalty in the top ranks of the Communist Party is generating turbulence.
Hmmm.... Drive out bad corruption and enforce good corruption. Right?
Nothing has been achieved.
What goal are we closer to? What does Trump want to get out of these negotiations?
