I actually think that Social-Revolutionaries' assassination campaign helped Bolshevik approach, because they provoked the state into dumb flailing around, angering more people, and introduced additional disorganization, because assassinated officials had to be replaced and additional security measures slowed down the state's actions.

joyce-messier One may dye their hair green and wear their grandma’s coat all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead…

Epidemiologic situation in Ukraine (and to a lesser extent in other post-Soviet countries too) has been worsening since 1991.

Eastern Europe and Latin America are both exploited for resources, cheap immigrant labour (and cheap labour in these countries too sometimes), while being patronized for being 'less democratic', and at the same time the West strangles any liberation movements there and promotes the most reactionary forces available. In fact, this economic and political relationships lead to them being pretty similar in socio-political structure.

The difference is that Eastern Europe is much more gusanoified since 1990s.

Communists want to abolish private property.

Capitalists want to abolish personal property.

We are not the same.

I think that means that America failed to get any concessions from China.
