More likely just plain old US assets tbh.

If Russia had all this intel on these old fucks then they'd have released it already.

I appreciate that books are a bit harder to read than Wikipedia pages, but I really do recommend it.

I'll be less glib: liberalism was used to justify French slave ownership too. It also has been the justification for global interventionist policy by the imperial core. "Bringing liberal democracy to dictatorships."

But equally racialised minorities are still the people that bare the brunt of the systematic violence of Capitalism and the state repression. In this instance as an example this is targeted at Muslims, but in the racialised sense any person of MENA or Indian subcontinent ethnic origin (or who looks like it).

Liberalism as a political project was first and foremost a way to justify american slave ownership.

Domenico Losurdo's "Liberalism: A Counter History" covers the history of the ideology well.

They'll be like VPs of their individual work team, working under a senior manager who heads up their particular work area. So like one senior vp to 2-3 vps, who oversee 2 juniors each.

Recreating Marx's chapter on cooperation from a reactionary standpoint lmao.

Capitalism is bad because it makes the workers cooperate too much is a wild take.

Vice president in Citibank is like a manager of a small team, so she's not particularly senior.

Source: had a uni friend who became a "VP" about 3 years after graduating.

The stain on the politics of One Piece imo.

Sack all the reinstating of "good" monarchs and centre the revolutionary army more pls.

Zero possibility that this friend lied?

Some people love to lie especially if it gets a rise out of people. "Defectors" including the likes of Yeonmi Park from the DPRK also are financially incentivised to lie. I know people that lie about shit in the UK to make things sound worse than it is, and they will swear up and down it's true after being called out on it.

If you're willing to give the us government even a shred of forgiveness despite constantly proving they're completely undemocratic, you should look into how Chinese governance actually works and see why the CPC has such high approval ratings from the population.

Me when my government bans a historically popular app: those Chinese ain't democratic like us!

If your material conditions aren't basically forcing you to always try and find a way out (when you've already gained the beginnings of communist consciousness), you might just be struggling with the fact that your own life isn't really that bad, and slipping into old habits.

Keep reading Marxist theory and developing your class consciousness and killing the little bourgeois-self in your head trying to commandeer your brain.
