The way China sometimes executes billionaire financial criminals makes western oligarchs a little nervous.
radlibs: eat the rich!!!
China: ok
radlibs: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not like that :wojak-nooo:
Ultras: B-B-BUT THEY'RE DENGOID STATE CAPITALISTS :wojak-nooo:
Even with Putin and Russia being the wests number 1 baddies atm, America can’t help but obsess over China. Truly living rent free.
:coming-to-xi-you: I'm about to fall asleep.

Do we have an emoji of the guy sticking a stick into his own bike wheel.
Western elites: the ruskies did this
This is unironically going to be the next stab in the back myth for when the West turns fascist.
We need an emoji with someone sticking a dagger in his own back.
That doesn’t mean that globalization is an unalloyed good. By its nature, economic liberalism exaggerates the downsides of capitalism as well as the upsides: Inequality increases, companies sever their local roots, losers fall further behind, and — without global regulations — environmental problems multiply.
Steady on now, old chap!
"Yet liberalism has also dragged more than a billion people out of poverty in the past three decades and, in many cases, promoted political freedom along with economic freedom. The alternatives, historically speaking, have been wretched."
Citations fucking needed
edit: this fucking rag - look at the graphic for GDP divided as free/partially free/not free. "Come on Mexico don't you want us to refer to you as a free nation? Just be a good colony again..."
edit 2: I can't finish it, it's just so nakedly biased. "Serpents".
Not to mention the millions that counted as exiting poverty that were only in poverty in the first place because of the disastrous and illegal dissolution of the USSR
It bolsters the point, if you take China out of the consideration, there’s actually been an increase in poverty and polarization of qualities of life and I imagine a lot of those people were/are part of it.
Fuck I really need to remember this point, it's such an easy burn when it comes up
That’s because China actually capitalist in that case - just bad “mercantilist” capitalist
:galaxy-brain:
"dragged more than a billion people out of poverty"
The "dragged" there seems Freudian, considering the colonial regimes and their ground enforcement policies.
The alternatives, historically speaking, have been wretched.”
This is what all the most reasonable people I know say. Some famous person once said capitalism sucks but it sucks the least.
"— without global regulations —"
And who the fuck prevents and thwarts those global regulations and makes enforcement impossible, you bazinga brains? :guts-rage:
also states can't be regulated as law without enforcement by force is just a piece of paper
This is after talking about "The first great age of globalization, which started in the 1860s and was underpinned by British power and coordinated by British statecraft". Shocking to hear that that wasn't an unalloyed good.
What is "statecraft?" Is that some sort of hobby that involves making things out of severed children's arms?
All those "corruption" cliches in Blizzard's hackey storytelling repeated for years, and all along the corruption was coming from inside the house. :surprised-pika:
Just yada-yadaing poverty, demolishing a lot of communities, and the destruction of the planet.
Two countries are developing closer ties? This is the end of globalization.
this article is such a piece of shit. they are calling for the murder of putin to unite "the woke and unwoke alike" and reopen McDonald's in Russia. what fucking ghoul wrote this and how do we reprogram their brain to see human beings as they are
If the west wanted a “woke” Russia they wouldnt have dissolved the USSR
if the west wanted us to come together they wouldn't expect me to unite with those who want me dead
Cmon, what could be so bad about working with le wholesome chungus Azov battalion?
you're right, the Azov Battalion is full of smol beans who have Mental Health and cannot help but be racist
We don't have to reform everyone. When our turn comes, we will make no excuses for the terror.
they are calling for the murder of putin to unite “the woke and unwoke alike” and reopen McDonald’s in Russia.
Sponsoring the overthrow of a Russian autocrat to further one's own political aims worked out so well for them the last time they tried it in 1917.
Sadly, one thing Marx really missed the boat on was the theory that a country's citizens would grow more inclined towards socialism through industrialization. The Russia of 1917 was far more revolutionary than the Russia of 2022, simply because there's that thick buffer of Treat-Eaters willing to commit virtually any atrocity to continue their flow.
In fairness to Marx, he could not have accounted for the effect of his theories on social development. By this I mean the reaction of capitalist societies against socialism by offering slightly better social programs to the proletariat.
If we don’t do something we might have to change the one map
:fidel-bat: ready to clobber these capitalist bozos any time any day
This is like when anti-suffragists claimed that giving women the right to vote would destroy capitalism. :sicko-fem: :yes-hahaha-yes-l:
Literal vampire Thiel has publicly stated that democracy as he liked it started to fail when women got the right to vote.
this would honestly be the most fitting end for the US empire - an Invasion by China due to human rights violations by the US
None of them threaten capitalism or globalization, certainly not China. These people are hysterical.
I mean closed circulation in economy is a rarity outside of usa, usually western firms arrive, harvest surplus value away or local bourgeoisie does the same. Thus you get cheaper product and cashback on your purchase. Forceful decoupling from this means less profits for the core, and more for local porkies, as well as inefficiencies(tm) where you can’t rely on just in time, or that certain products price
Depends on how globalization is defined.
China obviously welcomes international trade and investment, but with corporations and billionaires subordinate to the state.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the ghoul who wrote this believes that globalization is where corporations can go where they want and do what they want.
