Most "third world" or "developing" countries aren't that bad, and there are places in the US far worse than the median developing country.

Also most people in most places do not want to go to the US, even to visit much less immigrate. It's generally either the worst of a particular society or those specifically harmed by the US previously and feel their chances are better off with the abuser instead of in the abused country. It's not a wanted destination.

You can't vote against fascist genocidiers.

You can't even remove them via judicial means, as netanyahu has shown.

Usually the exception. For every one of them that lasts till 90 there's a dozen more dead by 70 via lung cancer, heart disease, or other truly horrifically painful way to die.

It's reddit. As in reddit right now reddit. Just without the ads.

Also the entire point of federated networks is decentralization, if any one instance is too big, it risks snowballing into the only populated instance.

Trump et al aren't a threat to the oligarchy or capital. Actual people rising up and doing violence against their owners is a threat to the oligarchy and capital.

It's how you know (besides dems post loss behavior) that Trump isn't anything different and nothing will massively change.

Oh no, you've never read theory or anything even marginally related to economics from anything but a corporatist perspective.

I'm so sorry.

Anyway this discussion is above you. China is a socialist state. They are a dictatorship of the proletariat, not of capital. Their economy is centrally planned. Their economy is 60% publicly owned. The part of the economy that is a private market has nothing to do with anything essential to life. No part of Marx nor Lenin's work precludes a market economy. Not one single part.

Read your theory.

NATO has nothing to do with brics. Given you have no idea how Chinas economy works I guess I shouldn't have expected you to know the difference between economic and military pacts.

Over half the world's GDP and population are a part of brics btw.

The nordics have less than 40% of their economy in the private sector? Got literally any sources for that little one?

SpaceX hasn't killed anyone, incidentally it's also the company musk has the least power over.

What basic macroeconomics? The fact China's economy is insulated from capital and isn't reliant on imports anymore?

China isn't a capitalist nation in anyway. They have a private market, which cannot effect the rest of the economy.

Correct, 5% of GDP, specifically from the private sector, would not effect China. It'd make some investors mad, but no one would lose their home, no one would starve, hell they wouldn't even be out of work unless they refused public sector jobs - of which there are nearly twice as many as private sector jobs.

The country with a 17 trillion usd GDP? Yeah the half trillion in exports isn't that important.

Actually they don't. Their own middle class is outspending the US, and brics ensures the US isnt ever the primary consumer market ever again.

Not really, they're the one country besides Israel that the US will never invade or go to war with, since it would permanently end the US economy.

Musk and thiel, two of the worlds richest men who exclusively made their wealth in tech companies, aren't tech related?

Given porn hub's parent company owns pretty much all traditional porn companies, not that many.
