Pretty easily, actually. Socialist states don’t exist in a vacuum, they need money for trade and resources like every one else. This reality is why all actual socialist ideologies are globalist in ambition btw. It doesn’t do your socialized industry any good if you have to buy your materials from a slave mine.

Ideology alone won’t buy Cuba medicine, or industrial tools. The fact is that the hemisphere they’re in is dominated by America and capitalism is something you either work around or starve under.

It’d be nice if Cuba could have afforded to build the resorts as worker co-ops or whatever but it’s an economic miracle that they exist as a nation at all with the eternal enmity of America trying to choke them to death for seventy years.

Only a delusional purist won’t acknowledge that it takes money and resources to build things, and all the foreign investors want a, you know, investment. Socialism is almost always considered a goal to transition to, and not an absolute requirement to be enacted day one.

Unless you want to live on an anarcho-primitavist farm somewhere anyways, and, honestly, they’re the ones most likely to survive this coming collapse so I guess they’ll either get the last laugh or die to the raiders like everyone else.

In 2005!

The only way to rub their idiocy in their faces is make them suffer actual fucking consequences for once in their miserable lives, and the man they just gave the power to do that won’t.

Which is patently absurd, to be absolutely clear. Every Justice that agreed to it is a fucking liar, and should be charged with violating their oaths and treason against the Republic and its people.

Or executed by official act. Whatever.

I don’t think you’re really supposed to side with the Unibomber. But, hey, idk, maybe the author is also a white supremacist.

The Black Hand achieved its goals, the creation of a “Greater Serbia” from the corpse of the Austria-Hungarian Empire.

They just ended up calling the state Yugoslavia instead.

And, okay, yeah, starting WW1 wasn’t the PRECISE goal but they were trying to start a war that led to collapse, cut them some slack, jeez.

Mr Wolf served his country and never did nobody any wrong (he got assigned to supply in Maryland)

Musk says he has Asperger’s, so that’d be fair if he also wasn’t a liar.

Yankees fans, smh

The Rohirrim were spread out dealing with raiding parties until after Helm’s Deep. Contextually we’re to understand that about half their available manpower is either dealing with other problems or just didn’t answer the muster.

Not a racist bone amongst them, until you start talking about immigration or Travelers.

Or they actually see a black person.

Said the guy “groking” things

🤣

Americans

Did you make an account through the app?

Literally how the law works so every SC decision doesn’t set off a century’s worth of lawsuits

I hate Hillary because she’s family friends with the man who killed my father and five million other people to get a job.

It’s why I like Lemmy, it’s a safe space for Millennials and Gen X. Neither the boomers or yooths can figure out how to make an account without downloading it from the app store.

Good news, they’re still Italy.

Let Darwin handle this one fam. Their blood will help write proper biking infrastructure bills.

Even when I was a fat bastard I never cared about having to walk for an extra ten seconds. Now a massive public building like a stadium or even possibly this aquarium, maybe, but these dudes fighting for front spaces in front of a grocery store are just weird.
