Also, France has list their collective mind.
I still don't know what the Chinese delegation walking out of trade talks means as I haven't seen anything detailing the topic of said talks, but it sure seemed to freak analysts out. Actually oil analysts are posting about how many times they cried this week in general. 70% of India is about to run out of naptha cooking fuel (in 9~ days), which is also one of the main inputs for manufacturing chemicals for making plastic, used for lightening heavy crude for transport, producing diesel + gasoline + jet fuel
India has a significant portion of the global poor, so this would be devastating but maybe we could get a communist revolution out of it, and that would be incredible. At least remove that clown Modi who’ll have been in power for 15 fucking years
Indonesia uses naptha extensively too. This is a spiral. Makes sense why naptha was hit first and they're letting prices adjust. Explains the story about a couple Indian ships being allowed thru the strait
India had 300 million people striking few weeks ago. Three hundred million. They could do whatever they want, and it's not even first such strike. Lenin always vindicated when he warned just unions are not enough, they must organise further into the worker political party or else even their successes will remain fleeting.
