"Capitalism in its imperialist stage leads directly to the most comprehensive socialisation of production; it, so to speak, drags the capitalists, against their will and consciousness, into some sort of a new social order, a transitional one from complete free competition to complete socialisation."

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

Wonder if our American "friends" will return the favor from a few months ago and send help?

Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

The US Embassy in Stockholm threatened the city that any contractors fire their DEI employees.
Stockholm blew them off:
“If the U.S.A. terminates its acquaintance with the City Planning Office, the embassy will have a hard time with building permits."

Stockholm rejects ‘bizarre’ US demand that city and embassy contractors be anti-DEI
France was also hit with the demand. ‘France and Europe will defend their companies, their consumers, but also their values,’ said the French Foreign Trade Ministry

Under Trump, Americans are relearning the lesson we learned about the oligarchy during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

Make no mistake Canada, this isn't as much a victory as just avoiding the worst option. 20 years ago Carney would have been a contender to lead the Conservatives. That's just how far Canada has shifted in the Harper and on period. Carney is a further push *right* from Trudeau.

It's election day in Canada, and I know some people are pretty apathetic about voting.

But today is a rare opportunity to make Pierre Poilievre—who is, by all reports, a giant asshole on every single level—profoundly unhappy.

How often in life do you get the chance to make a shitweasel bully cry?

“It’s no secret that Pierre Poilievre hates journalists, particularly anyone who’s going to scrutinize his policies. That is, quite frankly, an unforgivable sin for any politician.“

Poilievre’s disdain for the institution of journalism is shameful.

An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.
Pierre Poilievre has accomplished nothing during his 20 years in Parliament
It's truly pathetic that Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has accomplished nothing worth mentioning in 20 years in Parliament.

I feel like there's a serious cognitive dissonance when liberals accuse leftists and their convictions for Trump getting elected.

Leftists knew from the jump the two parties were indistinguishable. Figuring that shit out is kind of the left's whole deal.
As someone who voted for slotkin, this pathetic and makes me furious

You want to know the truth about why there are so many cases of autism, ADD, ADHD today?

It's the same reason why there are more planets and stars today compared to decades ago.

You're all caught up now. Leave the kids alone.

"All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake 'public opinion' for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.

This is a fact.

No one will ever be able to refute it."

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.
