Right? It seems repetitive.

Thanks for the explanation! Was wondering what the hell was going on, too.

Hopefully the Windows debacle and abortion and Palestinian resistance issues in the US remind people why privacy is important.

Hopefully they feel vindicated when everyone sanctions Isreal.

You have to imagine other people have no idea about Marxism but what they've heard from US propaganda. When they hear you support China, Cuba, and Vietnam, they just hear you supporting dictator for life Xi Jinping and one party state Cuba and Vietnam. You guys need better answers than this.

The other person's answer was pretty good, though.

There's hypothetically a bunch of different version of communism for everyone. The thing is, Marx described the problems with capitalism, and some vague sense of what socialism could be, some guidelines of what it should aim for, then kind of left the details up to each individual society to get there how they think is best based on their individual material conditions. He gave his own guesses, but didn't think he could predict that part fully, it would be up to the people of the future to figure it out and build on. A third world country, rural serf based near fuedal society, like Russia, would have completely different needs from some post-industrial country, like if Germany turned communist, for example. If the world's sole superpower, the US, turned communist, it would probably be a lot different than communist countries that had to transition under siege neighboring imperialism, like Cuba, North Korea, or Vietnam.

This is just to answer your last question. Don't think this really addresses your other questions, but just wanted to explain that part, as I've had it explained to me before. But I generally agree with you. There should still be some form of democracy but it might look different than what we are used to here in the US or liberal west.

Nah it's just an excuse for where his character gets his cool toys.

Literature Cafe also looks like it has a community for that if we want to spread things out from world a bit. (Which I think we should at some point.)

Same thing with Biden lol. Obama interfered hard to get him elected during the primary. He's not great, but he's been surprisingly better than Trump (in every way but the genocide thing and immigration) so hopefully she's better than expected, too!

Makes sense. I was considering getting a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch for kinda that same reason.

Been playing PC or PS5 games instead? Or just haven't been gaming much?

They've also been heavily investing in green tech for years way more than the US, so it's probably related.
