  • I don’t believe this is likely.

    Your comparison with Venezuela here neglect just how vastly different the 2 situations are. Not only is Venezuela far weaker militarily, they are also far closer to the US and their only trade routes to Eurasia are by boat which the US navy can easily intercept. Meanwhile Iran is on the same continent as China and Russia’s immense supply chains and industrial bases, they have a huge industrial base of their own, they mostly make their own weapons, they have huge sea and land trade networks.

    Between the western economies making it clear to the whole world that they are now a sinking ship and the fact that even if the US can somehow block the maritime routes between Iran and China, Iran would still have land roads that the US has no ability to blockade whatsoever; making such a deal would make no sense for Iran.

    Yes, Iran would not win from a prolong fight with the US, but they not lose from it either, in fact they are likely able to sustain the attrition of that kind of fight for far longer than the US could, especially with Chinese and Russian supply chains being right there on the same continent as them.






  • :Trump: “The bourgeoisie, these very mean folks. Have you heard of them? Very mean folks. They steal the proletariat’s surplus values, these bourgeois they do that. They do that all the time, peoples have been saying it. They extract it by intensifying the rates of exploitation, this is a very bad thing to do but they do it anyway. Yes, they do. I’ve seen peoples talk about it. They say Why are we only payed a fraction of the value we produce?, That’s what folks have been talking about lately. They get only a small part of, only a tiny part of this very good, very nice surplus value, they aren’t given all of it. They make it but they don’t get it, and that’s bad, I’ve been saying it.”











  • I’ve been thinking since a while ago that we should make well sourced posts exposing the messed up stuff the US and Europe have done in bite-size formats, with further readings and stuff, and post them in places we know some liberals and peoples disillusioned with politics are likely to see them.

    This sort of ridiculously ignorant takes unironically coming from them vindicates the idea I think.
