Musk says he has Asperger's, so that'd be fair if he also wasn't a liar.

You want a divine monarchy, Tolkien? Fine. At least prove it's an effective one!

Finland’s free contraception initiative reduces teen abortions by 66% ( www.optimistdaily.com ) Englisch

Finland’s multifaceted approach to preventing teenage abortions has proven highly effective, with a 66 percent reduction reported between 2000 and 2023. This large drop, owing to free contraception and obligatory sex education, serves as a model for public health programs....

It's not just about control, it's about increasing their total power. Population size matters, every extra wage slave is another lifetime of productivity to siphon from.

English degrees are great if you plan to go into law.

To earn money while hoping you make it as an author because otherwise you'll either starve or become an office clerk.

And Miklós Horthy served as Regent/Dictator from 1920-1944.

Because why not put a submarine commander in charge of Hungary, notable naval power?

I don't get people with cuckold fetishes, so here we are again.

How do the workers own the means of production if the state controls everything? Especially a state that only allows certain kind of person into the controlling party. An upper class, you might say.

Even if they own it, and the state demands a 90% tax on production, what do they really own?

Centrism is your feudal lord agreeing that serfs have rights.

The current American debt is more than the current GDP. That would be fine, if we were paying it down, but it's growing faster than ever.

It would also be fine if it was healthy debt. Debt taken to improve infrastructure in meaningful ways, improve education, shit, even a war debt to create an old school tributary state (economically speaking).

And it would all be fine if everyone in the room were adults, and there wasn't a significant portion of America actively and willfully trying to cause governmental collapse.

The American citizen, on average, will spend $37,000 in the next decade to pay the interest on that debt, $12.4 trillion in total.

All without universal healthcare mind you. Or, on average, a reasonable retirement age.

You need to start asking yourself whether the people who keep assuring you not to worry your pretty little head about the APR on your loans, and they are ultimately partly your loans as a citizen, are actually acting in your interest.

Andrew Jackson sold off enough Native American land to cause a real estate bubble, and between that and other things started a bank run, and the kind of people that think they'll win the shell game pretend it's because non-productive debt is good, and the problem was elimination of debt, not how it was done and other circumstances (among them being on a gold standard so you can actually do a bank run)

Literally about Russia, no. Authoritarian systems that Orwell had personally seen the darkest sides of, including the Soviets, Nazis, and the British Empire itself, yes.

Weird that people always forget he was also against literal British imperialism, for some reason, isn't it?

Just don't think about the parallels between Soma and alcohol too much.

    Socialism is not the government giving money to capitalists. It is not paying for the cops to get tanks. It is not having an army.

    It is not even universal healthcare. That is just a government service you've been gaslit into thinking is socialism.

    Socialism is the workers owning the means of production. End.

    Now, if the government had bailed out the financial firms or car manufacturers and turned them into worker co-ops, maybe that would be socialism, but they didn't.

    The answer is why the fascists turned "globalism" into a dogwhistle. It's quite simple: You don't do that. You liberate those workers too, through whatever means work.

    Socialism is by necessity a globalist ideology. It doesn't do your commune any real good if you buy all your necessities from a slave labor camp.

    An injury to one is an injury to all, workers of the world unite, etc etc etc. You must reject the principles of nationalism, or at least principles of non-interference, or you end up merely outsourcing the exploitation.
