That’s Marx’s conclusion. Again, he did not see what happened in the 20th century and revolutionary socialism failed catastrophically. We will not get the chance to try that again. Cry into your copy of Capital all you want.

Socialism exists in forms that are not pure. Every co-op is socialism existing within capitalism. And they are worth celebrating their successes. Instead of adhering to some rigid doctrine that has failed to make any sustained progress for two centuries now.

Marx never got to see socialism implemented. When discussing its implementation, he is not a good source. When discussing the issues of capitalism, he is great. This absolutist, primitive thinking on the matter only serves the bourgeoisie.

No. Scandinavia has national bargaining agreements. It’s more socialist than it is capitalist. Yours is a dumb reactionary definition.

There are plenty of socialist policies in place around the world. Just like there are plenty of capitalist policies. There are no purely capitalist or socialist countries.

You can’t look at Scandinavia and America and say they are the same thing. It’s a different mix and Scandinavia is much more socialist leaning and has much better outcomes.

The NFL is a cartel. They don’t want players who have identities or expression outside of the game. They’ve cracked down hard on this since Kaepernick.

Shedeur has a music career going. This is a Kadarius Toney situation. He’ll probably be pigeon-holed if he doesn’t abandon everything and become a drone talking about hard work and love of the game and stupid shit.

Why on Earth would China export pork to us? They eat way more than we do.

EDIT: No, I’m definitely right

The headline is a bit misleading or at least ambiguous. But these are US pork imports to China, I assume.

EDIT: From the article, "China, behind Mexico and Japan, was the U.S.’s third-biggest market for pork in 2024, importing some 475,000 metric tons valued at more than $1.1 billion. "

These are US exports to China.

If you sink to their level, they will beat you with experience. You think you can out-troll the nihilistic right. You can’t. Leftism is based on the idea of actually giving af.
