Sure buddy, Putin is more popular amongst Russian population than almost any western elected leader is in their country (according to western polling organizations), but HE is the one that has to rig elections! (of course there’s media coverage friendly to Putin, oligarch support etc. but that’s just regular liberal democracy like in the west, it was never supposed to be a fair system).

And what about prosecution of “radicals”? Ever heard of Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, David McBride, UK prosecuting Palestine Action, Germany debanking journalists and activists for reporting inconvenient facts and voices…

So, do you also consider ALL the prominent western leaders to be “evil dictators”, or is that a label reserved only for “adversaries” or maybe some convenient western-aligned scape-goats like Saudi Arabia?

“controversial” is a magic word whose propose is to prevent further discussion.

Well, France just renewed its contract with Palantir to manage it domestic intelligence. I guess they didn’t get that memo. I’m sure they’re working really hard in the background to some day replace it.

Well, according to Polish nobility’s own mythology, Poles are not Slavs either, they’re Sarmatians descended from… Iran (funny how the concept of Aryan has the same geographical roots, totally unrelated… or is it?).

Every figure of “victims of communism” on Wikipedia.

You cant just say “violence is the only way out” you have to get them angry enough to get to that point.

So much this.

More recent data through November 2025 shows hydro is up again:

In undeveloped (overexploited) countries, children are a promise of a better future for poor families. Also in those countries the capitalist concept of nuclear family is not as entrenched, so you have the support of the whole community in rising children.

Everyone should watch that lecture, but TL;DW is ANYTHING you say to the police will be used against you and NOTHING you say to the police will ever help you.

If you’re not convinced, you really need to watch that lecture.

And yet Yugoslavia was destroyed by NATO, not the Soviet Union or the Warsaw Pact.

The Tianquan project began in 2018, immediately after US President Donald Trump launched a trade war against China during his first term.

They really shouldn’t have awakened the sleeping dragon.

As for the point two, Bolsheviks were actually vastly outnumbered by Mensheviks and SRs in both the unions and the Soviets until a couple months before the Revolution, only gaining the majority support later due to their consistent anti-war and anti-burgois stance and the other parties being committed to continuing the war, constantly siding with capitalists and landlords and refusing to take power from the Provisional Government.

They’re entering the acceptance stage of grief; they see they can’t win the EV market, so might as well double down on the gas-guzzler section.

Looks inside: sends your prompt wrapped with “Answer like trot using wsws.org only” straight to OpenAI.

Yep. Scale is key. Another case in point: China wants to mass-produce space rockets like cars.

Putin will come for you toothbrush and eat all your schnitzel with his comically large spoon!

Notice how they measure achievements in terms of spending: “China has nearly caught up to the United States in spending on research and development”, or " [China] has presented itself as a leading international source of development financing, even though multilateral development banks, private investors, and traditional Western lenders still account for a larger cumulative share".

The actual material results of that “spending” only get a secondary mention, if at all.

The real gem.

Great thanks, comrade! Very thought provoking interview.
