Makes the problems of capitalism even worse. Instead of the owner class you get an even smaller political class controlling all means of production - the party leadership. It becomes even more prone to corruption than capitalism.
Adding to problems is the planned economy - it always results in misaligned incentives, bad allocation of resources, constant shortages…
Third, possibly the worst, is the constant insistence on ideological purity and severe punishment of “thought crimes”. Or as they like to call it “counterrevolutionary activity”.
Even though it was created out of good intentions, I don’t believe a lot positive aspects can be salvaged.
If she speaks Spanish hide your bread!

For those who don’t know this guy was a runner whose legs were amputated, and he got replacement prosthetics that made him as good if not better than runners with natural legs. There was some debate if his disability actually gives him an advantage, if it should be allowed at all.
The best propaganda is to show the enemy as powerful and brave but misguided. That way your own victory seems more impressive.
They also have a trans railway in Siberia. Only trans people are allowed to use it.
Let’s see what new and original ways he’ll find to fuck up Bolivia.
Socialists had their run, and they did fuck it up majorly. But now it’s time for new kind of mistakes.
19·4 days agoeveryone should. less people actually do care, but still many people care
why do they care? because they care about living their own life. if you spend your life making someone else well off, what’s even the point of living
They usually live from other people’s labor.
There are 2 classes of people in the world:- those who earn from their own work
- those who earn from other people’s work
It’s rare to find an upper class person who earns living through their own work (usually sports and music)
No need. If they have heirs, the wealth will be split. If the resulting heirs still have enough to be billionaires apply the solution recursively. Eventually it will be diluted enough that nobody is a billionaire.
If there are no heirs it usually goes to the state (depending on jurisdiction).
4·6 days agoOh no, it’s even worse. He actually believes in the religious stuff he’s talking about. Not just a manipulative schemer, a true believer.
1·10 days agoOr just code the happy path and let it crash.
(this is actually a real philosophy in the Erlang world and I’m bummed it doesn’t receive wider acceptance)

I strongly suspect the modern “spectrum” is just grouping and labeling certain personality profiles that have always existed in roughly similar proportions. Meaning that it’s not the proportion that is increasing, it’s that we chose to define certain combinations of human traits as ASD.
On the whole this labeling is probably useful since more people will get the support they need. But the point of delineation is mostly arbitrary.
Anger at begin gaslighted that their economy is doing good while the quality of life for most Americans dropped insanely.
I’m not American but I talk to Americans regularly. Back in 2018 USA still appeared to be a developed country, flawed but if you were middle class you could have a good life. Around 2021 it became basically impossible to survive. Right now the standard of life for a successful middle class person is better in formerly poor Eastern Europe (ex Poland) than in the USA.
This is mainly driven by insane housing costs. If the majority of your income goes to housing you don’t have anything left to enjoy life, even though your salaries are huge on paper.
