Russia is a liberal democracy

For me its usually that local orgs and groups cross promote each other and their events. There are also region specific accounts that just aggregate events on certain topic.

I agree tho that the algorithm and ad parts suck

A lot of orgs (also bookstores that I like) promote their events mainly on insta

agreed. cheating wasn't invented yesterday

sometimes

in Europe its mostly "I don't understand why the workers have to strike every week" and being just overly annoyed about strikes even when it doesn't disturb their day

One of the main contradictions of capital is that it is a self destructive force

Jill Stein got basically 1/11th of what Kamala Harris got. Not bad.

you probably mistyped 1/110th. 1/11 is almost 10% or 6 000 000 votes.

if you have the money and resources, it is not a bad idea

Because fascism needs to pretend to be revolutionary. Leftism doesn’t

Dems had many opportunities to oppose an abortion ban. Before RvW was overturned and after.

I agree that there is not a cold war level aggressive attitude from US, like a bay of pigs invasion 2.0 or something. But US is definitely trying to consolidate its position around Cuba to not give it any breathing room. Guantanamo bay exists for that reason too.

As US-Cuba relations cool down

I'm not so sure they are/will cool down though. PR is also important to keep Haiti in check. It is a vital point of US power projection in the Caribbean

And like, people could just hang a watermelon flag. It’s the most nonsensical law ever for what it’s trying to do

Are lgbt flags also banned? Or does it apply only to national flags.

I agree with other commenters that this is not idealist in the Marxist sense. Additionally, there are already educational systems like that, at least in Europe that I am familiar with. Kids can choose subjects to specialise in pretty early on.

ive been encountering it / thinking about it lately. would really appreciate an effort post

Prashad is a super cool speaker, really recommend seeing him live
