Divisive identity politics could well be one symptom of the breakdown of the USA, but I doubt that it's the reason. It pretty clear that in the last forty years, politics has primarily focused on the needs of the wealthy[0], to the det

Is there any reliable (international) source for Russian internal affairs that is not tainted by state propaganda? Can you give a recommendation?

> It 100% is all about Russian preventing a rival military base in a border country. Not so sure about that. To me this looks more like a diversion from internal political problems, "Wag the dog" style.

I guess that's sarcasm? Because I honestly cannot tell. Yes, the U.S used its imperialist power to annex Hawai'i in 1897. That was before most of the modern foundations of international law - in particular article 2(4) of Chapter

Any system with a market needs some kind of exchange token. The fiat paper money we are using is nothing more than that and having a universally accepted token is a desirable thing. I would argue that some inequality is not only necessary

Do you think that living under Capitalism is a good thing or would you maybe prefer other forms of market economies?

by esarbe 5y ago
That's an interesting take. I personally think that where the 'classic' examples of Socialism or Communism failed is with regards to markets. Starting with the Soviet Union, most of these countries tried to do away with marke

Have a look at what the Mondragon Corporation is doing.[0][1] This is an attempt at Syndicalism (sorry, another *ism). So you have (free) markets and you have exchange of labor for salary, but profit is reinvested and shared between the sha

Intra-species competition would also have been my first guess. Homo erectus seems to have been quite a successful species, given the archeological evidence. And given the time frame of the migration, I'm betting on a slow but steady ex
