acts in the interests of its material conditions

It’s a foundational mistake of Marxists to reduce everything to material conditions. You will never understand the world, if that’s your only frame of reference.

Putin is the Czar. What’s on his matters most. Everything else is secondary or incidental.

China is ready to take over as the lead capitalist empire.

It’s late stage capitalism, bro, revolution is just around the corner, bro.

Repeat for 150 years.

No, it started a lot longer ago than that

You can listen to Putin himself and he goes back pretty far in history.

Neoliberal is something else.

Egoist is more fitting.

The ability of Lemmy to alienate even center left liberals never ceases to amaze me. The only way to stop Trump is a broad alliance from center right to left, not some communist revolution fantasy.

Shapiro is far better educated and informed than Rogan. He’s more of traditional conservative, who only begrudgingly supports Trump. Of course he’s still a propagandist and a liar.

I think it’s a mistake to let the right winger take claim to everything related to patriotism and national symbols.

It’s not only true for the right. The left has its own problems with propaganda, dogmatism, and fake news. Some of it resulting directly from trying to counter the effectiveness of the right wing. Extreme polarization is the outcome and discourse becomes impossible.
