Luckily for the rest of the world, your elites have made that mistake.

Mark Cuban just reinvented co-ops. Even better; how about Workers take control of the economy instead of having a couple oligarchs run the whole show?

Perfect! Now do the same for the banking and financial sector, the chemistry industry, big pharma, energy, water

They won't, because they are vassals and not even aware of it.

Personally, I'm very happy about the increasingly competitive EV market. Hopefully they will start exporting those to the British market. Don't we all love cheap things?

I propose we set it at 4Mio instead, deport all the German speakers and give their properties to the French-speaking ones.

I, for one, rejoice at the upcoming American century of humiliation.

I've learnt from a coworker that actually, all the stuff we order from AliExpress is crap they don't sell in their own country. A bit like the Swiss selling their shitty cheese abroad whilst they keep the good stuff for themselves.

Good for them! STEM folks might be slowly realising they are no different than the guy in blue on the production line, except that they are more likely to know what a directed graph is.

Socialism yes indeed! But to say that China is semi capitalist is seeing the glass half empty; they are still in the preliminary stage of socialism. It's not perfect, but it doesn't have to be as long as it goes above and beyond what has been achieved by capitalism. I recommend The East is still red by Carlos Martinez about that. It deconstructs a lot of misconceptions about what China is and isn't.

Capitalism with a human face doesn't make sense. It's like talking about Ethical Theft. It might have served its purpose, but now it's time to move on.

Mark my words: in ten years from now on, the Chinese web will be more free and open than any Western country.

It is truly last piece of the Bourgeois panopticon. Internet already feels broken. I have to constantly switch my VPN on to access this or that website. How long til they even prohibit that?

Most of the legit stuff was on telegram, surprisingly or not. I know people who bought uh firearms and more there. Unfortunately, it feels like it disappeared at the same time as the proximity feature

That would make sense except Russia and China are not rogue States. China hasn't been involved in a conflict since the last 70s
