The NPA didn't succeed in the revolution, but they still provide a lot of support to rural population, in healthcare notably. We have to give them that.

Maybe you should start by spend the few billions necessary to remove all the explosive devices you placed there?

That's so stupid. Of course more people will mean more pollution. You're not making any sense, please try to think 5 minutes before posting.

Are you still counting the Iraqi WMDs when you go to bed?

Just mini cancer

I will copy paste this comment from Hexbear that explains how we reached that situation, because I believe it will be useful here for context:

The following three parts are absolutely crucial toward understanding the ongoing war in Ukraine from a materialist and historical standpoint:

One, the Maidan Coup happened in 2013 because the former president Yanukovych wanted to postpone signing the EU association trade agreement, which was an economic warfare against both Ukraine and Russia. First, it required that Ukraine take on IMF loans that required them to cut social spending and education. Second, it would allow European goods to flood Russian market due to the existing tariff-free agreement between Ukraine and Russia, without allowing Russia to do so in reverse. Putin did NOT oppose to Ukraine signing the deal, he offered a tripartite meeting to discuss this tariff issue, but the EU refused. Yanukovych did not want to lose the trade revenue with Russia, so he said he needed more time to talk this out with Russia - but it was already too late, merely postponing was enough to trigger the ultranationalists/fascists to launch a coup.

Second, the Donbass separatists rebelled because immediately after the coup, one of the first things the coup regime did was to initiate a ban on Russian language to lash out against ethnic Russians. Russia was forced into the conflict, because there would have been a massacre if the civil war was to allow the military to crush the resistance in Donbass.

Third, the Minsk agreements showed that Russia was absolutely willing to return Donbass (but not Crimea for obvious reasons) to Ukraine, although Ukraine has to give the Donbass local governments more autonomy to protect their local cultures (so that someone from Kyiv can’t just simply impose a national ban on language or culture without considering the local populations). They waited 8 years for Ukraine to start implementing the protocol, but instead what they saw was NATO openly arming Ukraine for 8 years - this showed that Ukraine wanted to take back Donbass and Crimea by military force, and the only reason for that is quite simply that they wanted to ethnically cleanse the Russian culture without having to adhere to the Minsk agreements. Both Merkel and Hollande, guarantors of Minsk II, have admitted publicly in 2022 that Minsk was simply to buy time for Ukraine to militarize, proving Russia’s intuition correct.

The war in Ukraine was inevitable. Russia still did the last ditch effort in 2021 to call for a security meeting with NATO, but to no avail. Under the new Biden presidency, Zelensky had been emboldened to talk about Ukraine joining NATO and rearming with nuclear weapons, prompting the invasion from Russia in February 2022. The rest is history.

Well, European "democracies" built their wealth by exploiting those countries through colonisation, coups, and political assassination. On the other hand, Russian and Chinese "dictatures" respectively built their wealth through the extraction of their own resources, and by building their own productive force.

Theoritically, it should work better for them. Chinese loans are already working better than IMF ones so it's looking good so far.

Then come and beat our asses. But rest assured there is no way Macron, this genocidal dictator piece of shit, would ever try to appease tensions with a country that takes care of their population instead of shooting up every protests as he does.

Cops are really commited to not letting us forget that ACAB.

UK politicians never really seem prepared for anything tbh

Less meat isn't gonna cut it, that industry will still be there and will find ways do more harm to increase profitability. We need to stop meat and dairy altogether.

This is the only way we can repurpose all the farmland wasted for animal agriculture.

Humans are responsible for crimes, not capitalism…

That is true, but capitalism provides the means to make those crimes possible on a world wide scale.

Technology, specifically the computer and the internet came as a direct result of the industrial revolution and the scientific method.

Capitalism isn't the industrial revolution or the scientific method, it's just a economic ideology where the means of productions are owned by a handful of capitalists. After ditching capitalism, the USSR literally won a space race against a country that was much more developped than them just 50 years before, while still recovering from the impact of one revolution and two world wars.

Babbage, Lovelace, Turing, Berners Lee.

I'm not gonna check all those people, but Berners-Lee worked at the CERN when they developped the WWW. It's an international organization publicly funded by European countries, not a capitalist corporation but really the product of state planned economy.
