  • I would believe that there’s more to it, I think that having more qualified people is an inevitable consequence of an accessible higher education, the solution to me is the deduction of pay disparity, it’s a very hard change to do, but I would think that having a more educated population has it’s upside, specially because it is one of the hardest barreiers to development, allowing the government to expand higher complexity challenges.





  • That’s the magic of fascism, it has the uncanny power of coopting people’s indignation with current reality and seduce them with easy answers, like you are fucked because THEM(pick your oppressed group here) are fucking you, therefore if we go to war with THEM everything will be wonderful, and that’s quite a false promise but it sounds true and people want to believe that something will change.

    That being said both Germany and Italy had quite expressive communist movements, especially Italy, they would likely have made more of a splash in their after war elections had CIA not meddled with it. So it’s important to understand that both communism and fascism somewhat run on the same fuel, and a well organized vanguard can defend from fascist proliferation, and the same goes the other way, a strong fascist movement can take the wind out of communist movement’s wings. That’s one of thr many many reasons the hatred is so strong and mutual between the two groups, and why capitalism helps fascist movements when they fuck shit up


  • The issue ia clear and simple, it has to be a state initiative, and would eat heavily into the market share of current big players of the sector, and those players either have nothing to gain, assuming they tried to give their app actually good uses as wechat has, or they would distort it so badly that it would not change things meaningfully, it wouldn’t be similar to wechat. So meta and company will fight against it because social gain is not on their radar, but the US state has some interest in it because it might be one good tool to try to claw out of current and looming crises. But the issue is that they are in a somewhat soft position to bargain for it because they lean heavily on the big techs for propaganda, which is of essential value to the US government. TLDR capitalism is a mess, the state is less and less capable of keeping the bare minimum of social support to its people given the insatiable hunger for profit of the private sector

    I disagree about Colombia and Venezuela, they are antagonistic towards the hegemonic power but not socialists, Venezuela in particular, maduro has his merits but he also persecuted the Venezuelan communist party. Among the other I am most confident in Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and Korea, the rest I know much too little about
