I mean it’s at least better than putting your trust in the US with the current system
Also this payment system wouldn’t be centralized in Russia or anything. Russia is just the one proposing it since they’re the host for 2024
So you brought that out of thin air? Weird thing to say without any basis
? Is there some source that says otherwise or something?
It’s a non-binding resolution. And even if it wasn’t, the UN can’t exactly do anything militarily nor by sanctions against the US that controls both those fronts right now.
Me when I have to cope with not having any cool emojis
The billionaires who fund and control these corporate news outlets I assume
The first one is from the wikipedia article on poverty in China, and the second group is from this /r/Sino post
Badempanada’s video on the embargo
Tl;dw is that the embargo makes it so no company/ships trading with Cuba are allowed to trade with the US. And given the US’s control over the global financial systems and geographic proximity to Cuba, that essentially means almost any company sacrificing trade with the US to trade with Cuba would be committing financial suicide.
The US ruling class’s motives are that a thriving socialist country so close to the US might force them to make concessions to the working class (free healthcare, transport, etc.) to match Cuba, similar to what the Scandinavian countries had to do because of their proximity to the USSR.
The poor billionaire class 😢
The thumbnail image for instances that don’t show it
The amount of bootlicking in this article lmfao
Why would you “do nothing”? Go out and organize. Writing some shit on a piece of paper won’t change anything.
A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink
“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.
“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”
Yeah I’ve noticed that almost every post and comment seems to get at least some engagement here, whereas on reddit it’s very common to make a post/comment that no one ends up seeing.
Your world view seems to be highly influenced by propaganda. A country ruled by two identical genocidal capitalist parties isn’t a “democracy”; it’s a capitalist dictatorship.
Any party genuinely wanting to advance working class causes will not be allowed to come to power through it (they won’t be funded by the capitalist backers that fund/control the two ruling parties to begin with), and anyone in power that happens to hurt the country’s imperial prowess will be disposed of by the ruling parties, the way JFK was assassinated for wanting to abolish the CIA and reducing US troops in the Middle East.
running as a moderate
Lmao, genocide is “moderate”?

More of a symbolic gesture than anything; there aren’t any plans for an actual BRICS currency. I don’t think that would do much yet in the current US-led global financial landscape.
The author really doesn't like China not condemning Hamas lol
