The story is moving to the far future and finally leaving the Skywalker Saga in dust where it belongs

The fascist scum are gonna lose, just like the last half dozen times they've tried it

The defenders of Gaza are the greatest warriors on earth and possess a fully intact tunnel network plus vast swathes of labyrinthine ruins from which to ambush these zionazi cowards

The super-profits of the Atlantic slave trade and the colonializations of the Americas pushed European proto-capitalism into fully realized industrial capitalism, England being an island also protected its nascent capitalism from physical destruction and allowed it to develop unimpeded for centuries

Proto-capitalism in Rome and Greece was overwhelmed by the slave economy, incessant civil wars, and physical destruction of fringe productive cities by Huns and Germanics

Islam after the Abbasid revolution made the mistake of placing its capital in Iraq where agricultural superabundance drowned proto-capitalism (like a plant that has too much water), unlike in Syria there was no need in Iraq to cultivate marginal land and commodify the output for the sake of a market

The Mongol invasions and the Black Death also annihilated Islamic and Chinese proto-capitalism thru sheer physical and human destruction, by 1350 everything from Samarkand to Syria was rendered into a depopulated ruined wasteland that didn't recover until the 1700s by which point it was too late to compete with Europe

Proto-capitalist institutions can independently develop in any given civilization over the course of centuries, but cultivation of marginal land and super-profits (from somewhere) are the twin rocket fuels needed to push proto-capitalism past the historical gravity well into becoming the monster we know today

Guarantees a mass fracturing of the jihadist factions and the creation of new ones as the economy deforms into a free-for-all circus, reactionary cartels forming city-state like blocs while more populist rural uprisings bloom as Syrian agriculture is twisted and deflated NAFTA style by Turkish agribusinesses

A bad quarter in Turkey is all it takes for this bullshit to collapse, unless the Saudis and Gulf freaks want to front cash for the entire Syrian economy a la Ukraine-style

Her and Sanders didn't even have the courage or wherewithal to head down to El Salvador to back up Garcia, had to leave it to some no-name centrist Senator

Fair weather ass pretenders

The Iraq War and the 2008–2009 Gaza bombings triggered in me a deep personal epiphany that led me to believe for the last 15 years that genocide (somewhere in the MENA region) was absolutely a likely possibility, even as I transitioned from a liberal to a commie that political epiphany never changed

I never articulated this belief out loud because for the longest time I wondered whether I was being a paranoid morbid cynic, turns out I wasn't, some vindication huh

The scale and viciousness of the brutality did catch me off guard, but even then I can't really say any of this has genuinely surprised me, in retrospect I now realize I had spent a decade and a half semi-consciously bracing for this reality and tracing back in many ways is the reason I became a communist in the first place

I'd assume Ukraine despite being outmatched by Russia would inflict horrific casualties on the untested and smaller Hungarian military

In fact if the Ukrainians went wild, I could see them easily pulling a 2014 ISIS-style offensive on Poland and Central Europe and making it all the way to the outskirts of Warsaw and Budapest, a military capable of continuously holding a 1200km attritional front with the likes of Russia poses a grave danger to the poorly performing militaries of liberal Europe

I've said this before but Europe is creating a monster in Ukraine, one that is rapidly heading towards "nothing to lose" territory
