Austerity is for economy what perpetual motion is for physics: you can conceptualize but you can't make them actually function as stated.

As the Brazilian presidential election draws closer, Lula is in a very tight contest with Flávio Bolsonaro, son and heir of the Bolsonaro dynasty. The election is a struggle between Brazil’s democratic forces and the return to power of a reactionary bloc.

In Luxembourg the average state pension for 40 years of contributions is nearly 4x higher than in the U.K. Far from being unaffordable the UK State pension is a joke, what is unaffordable is the tax evasion which leaves us with so little money to spend.

USA minimum wage $7.25 per hour & AVERAGE restaurant BURGER (no side or drink) = $14 Assuming an 8 hour workday: the worker has to work 25% of his day for PART (not even all) of his lunch. I'd call that SLAVERY.

Socialism built the only things that actually work in the USA. The problem is you have hardly any of it. Corporations buying the Government because they are rich enough to, and the Government stealing everything it can isn't 'Socialism' of any time. It's just far too much Capitalism.

Corporate Socialism, who invented this dumbass phrase? Of course it was a stupid American who has to blame all the problems of Capitalism on Socialism.

Capitalism didn't invent markets. It made people dependent on them to survive.

Scientists now estimate this El Niño could cause 450,000 additional deaths in just six months. We're no longer debating whether climate change will become dangerous. We're debating how many people we're willing to let die before changing an economic system that demands endless growth.

The agenda is being forced upon us. Even our games aren't safe.

Good lord we had serious western media claiming that the only reason the USSR had more women in the sciences was because the state was forcing them at gunpoint to become scientists. Completely ludicrous absurdity, but a taste of what you're dealing with here. Beyond reasoning with.

"Nonfalsifiable orthodoxy" sums it up well. Engaging with Americans propagandized against socialism is futile. Every point has some innate counter they pull from their butts without hesitation. The fact it bears no resemblance to reality doesn't matter.
