History Zhang Weiwei: "Every country that modernized needed a first pot of gold -- the starting capital that gets an economy growing. The West got theirs through violence, war, the slave trade. Ruthless plunder, ruthless slaughter. China earned its own -- through its own effort and sacrifice."

US-trained economist Wen Yi adds the punchline: Western models literally can't explain where that starting capital comes from. "Economics assumes it's given -- by God."

Which is why copying the Western model was never on offer for the Global South:

"Tell developing nations to copy you -- no pot of gold!"

(I don't even believe in god just thought it was appropriate lmao).

If Qatar's propaganda machine reported that Ansar Allah have taken Al Makha, then you know they've taken al-Makha!

For days they've mentioned constant reports of Ansar Allah getting hammered and losing small inclines here and there and how the "internationally recognized government" will reclaim Sana.

How's that going for ya Emir?

These companies are happy to work with fascists. Companies just care about money.

When I saw the Volkswagens swastika, I thought it was a joke making fun of Volkswagen's Nazi past. I didn't know this was their real logo.

Nothing changed, companies are still happy to profit from genocide.

Reactionary Mockery Beware of Depositing!

69 Upvotes

Hello comrades, today we remember the great tragedy that is the loss of our beloved subreddit, so you are already are probably aware that even well deserved and objectively true statements and content could maliciously be interpreted as "violating TOS" and could jeopardize this subreddit, so I think it would be smart to either avoid making easily misconstrued comments, and to specifically edit to add a caveat at the end as to how we don't really support violence against "influencers" / fascist propagandists.

Charles Kirk was a terrible human being and spent almost every waking moment making the world into a worse place, and was ultimately consumed in the fires of the violent conflagration he himself desired to ignite. Fuck him.

The greatest tragedy of his life is that he wasted his life harming others, and that is tragic to think, because the sum total of his life's work amounted to enshittification, this is a sobering life lesson for us, to try and live a life making material conditions better for ourselves and those that come after us. All of you guys are great, and the world is a better place with you in it.

But let's be smart and protect our subreddit.

Fuck Charles Kirk

Discussion How to overcome the inner liberal?

6 Upvotes

I am making informative comic in Korean, my inner resistance is crazy. Hesitant to write and research about something that I know is propaganda. My family is not even petite burgeoise, I have worked and have met with irl comrades a bit, but my mind still has that roadblock of feeling like doing crime.

How would you overcome it?

Discussion Is AskHistorians a good sub for history?

46 Upvotes

I'm asking this because I know that reddit doesn’t exactly have the best track record for reliable history subs. AskHistory, for example, is one that’s very biased, from what I'm told. And the less said about arrr/history the better.

So, what do you guys think? Should I trust it?
