Seeing 🇨🇳China’s successes in economy, people start to debate whether China is socialist or capitalist. Even among leftists, opinions on China are divided. So I asked renown historian, winter and Marxist @vijayprashad whether he thinks China is still a socialist country.

This sociopath is literally saying, "Yeah, I'm making billions building up a bubble, but that's okay, because when it bursts, the American taxpayers will bail me out, so I can keep making more billions." Hard to even find words for the depravity of these MFers.

Mamdani’s victory reflects the defiant mood of millions in NYC & beyond, who want a more combative stance against Trump, a more affordable life and are tired of the Democratic Party’s status quo. Now's our time to build a socialist movement. Read: liberationnews.org/psl-statement-…

The fact that Dick Cheney died of old age, free and probably surrounded by family, is a disgrace that this country will never escape. He made the world we now live in and suffered zero consequences. He won. We lost.

genuinely one of the most evil people to exist in modern history, i cannot stress this enough. he got zero punishment for his actions. caused incalculable harm to entire regions. millions killed, tens of millions displaced and he got to pass away quietly surrounded by family.

The minimum wage in Mexico has more than doubled over the last 6 years — *without* leading to job losses or inflation. It's clearly a myth that good labour standards have to come at the expense of job creation or macroeconomic stability.

As the U.S. government continues to bomb boats of fishermen in the Caribbean without evidence of their accusations or due process, it is also taking the floor at the U.N to lie about the U.S. blockade on Cuba. So, let’s be clear: for more than 60 years, Cuba has been punished…
