making the perfect the enemy of the good

this is you rn

socialism >> communism is a evolving process, but every time it starts growing and developing, capital asserts itself to dominate and destroy it

the only Actually Existing Socialisms today have nuclear deterrents to avoid this fate, they also have to develop counter-intelligence defenses because just nuclear weapons are not enough to protect from all the myriad threats that capital engages in towards anti-socialist >> anti-communist goals

if you can not understand this material reality of history, and use it to analyze the struggle for liberation in this world, you are lost

P : individualist competition and concentration of wealth/power

E : evoking climate change etc, in a sense scaling in difficulty infinitely

This framing of the relationship between liberalism and fascism not only presents them as complete opposites, but it also defines the very essence of the fight against fascism as the struggle for liberalism. In so doing, it forges an ideological false antagonism. For what fascism and liberalism share is their undying devotion to the capitalist world order. Although one prefers the velvet glove of hegemonic and consensual rule, and the other relies more readily on the iron fist of repressive violence, they are both intent on maintaining and developing capitalist social relations, and they have worked together throughout modern history in order to do so. What this apparent conflict masks—and this is its true ideological power—is that the real, fundamental dividing line is not between two different modes of capitalist governance, but between capitalists and anti-capitalists. The long psychological warfare campaign waged under the deceptive banner of ‘totalitarianism’ has done much to further dissimulate this line of demarcation by disingenuously presenting communism as a form of fascism.

Bird Flu killing animals lots places right now. This is like all the reviews of scented candles saying that the smell is weak when Covid rates are spiking.

The TPSA authorizes a number of appropriations for Tibet and Tibetan related issues including (not less than) $8 million for Tibetan communities in the Tibet Autonomous Region and in other Tibetan communities in China; $6 million for Tibetan communities in India and Nepal; $3 million to strengthen the capacity of Tibetan institutions and governance in exile; over $3.4 million and $4 million respectively for Voice of America’s and Radio Free Asia’s reporting on Tibet and Tibetans; $1 million for Office of the United States Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues, among others.

Trump and Biden have both signed over millions in US money to run these propaganda sources.

Human Capital, use it up until it can't function anymore.

These old pols are cogs in the machine, and the opportunity cost of replacing them is too high for the ruling class. So they just keep using them until they fall apart. It's all about the value of connections, and they already paid for these.
