The soviets saved the world, but Stalin was a monster ntl.
Old people in Russia will not remember the Stalin era, but the Khrushchev era (famous for de-stalinization). Old people also tend to romatisize their use. And romatisizing the Soviet Union is mixed with ethno-nationalism in current days Russia.
I consider myself a socialist, but stalinism is dog-shit.
3 of these 17 territories are colonies of the USA (American Samoa, Guam, Virgin Islands).
When it comes to Europe the extortion of former colonies might be the bigger problem (the Franc Zone or the ongoing exploitation of African ressources).
Anti-imperialism would make more sense. The US is not the only asshole…
Paper, all metalls and glass. Collecting organic waste for either compost or, if your city does this, biogas plants is also good.
The UAE defintly showed that other countries can do this.
Russia also still holds a lot of their traditional soft power in many countries, including several EU countries. They also greatly increased their softpower by helping to get far right parties into power or at least signinificant influence in several EU countries (like Orban or Germany just 2 days ago).
On the other hand Russia manouvered itself into a very weak geostrategical position lately (Ukraine and Syria). Everyone noticed that and this will likely lead to some restructuring in several regions, unlikely to be in Russias favour.
I currently find it really hard to make assumptions about Russias role in the mid-term future. That is also, why I didn’t mention Russia in my post.
My guess is China will fill the void left by the disintegration of USAID in order to boost its global standing.
China will take large chunks. But I think we will also see a decentralization as china won’t be able to take it all. Countries like Turkey, Malaysia, Brazil and so on will probably increase their regional soft powers a lot.
This process also already started years ago, but will be catalyzed by this.
You can also exploit people with it. Kinda like a swiss knife of psychopathy.
In most socialist societies working is also expected… I’d expect automatization to help with that in a true socialist society though. On the other hand, I am not sure that a society without work would function. But a 20h week would defintely be much preferable.
What has she done except producing videos?
Did the meaning of “neoliberals” change? Didn’t that mean conservative economically liberal people like George W. Bush and Dick Cheney?
