I’m trying not to be like those “China is collapsing” people but for israel so call me when it happens I guess
Tbf China isn't at war. This is more like being a "Russia is collapsing" person.
Even that isnt right. Russia is a much bigger country and isnt at total war with itself.
Isn't part of that just due to the fact that it's a war economy?
Russia is sort of in a war economy, but the bigger reason they're doing well is because the sanctions have forced Russia to abandon the dumbest parts of neoliberalism and instead to rely on import substitution. The sanctions also prevents the ruling class in Russia from taking their money and putting them elsewhere, which means that Europe kind of introduced capital controls on Russia, which is really funny considering Europes fierce opposition to them in any other context.
It was a worthless comment, but I do think that the Russia watchers are less unhinged than the China watchers, because Russia has much more real trouble. Likewise, I think it's not that unhinged to view the zionist entity as getting closer to collapse.
I really want to like Owen Jones but he has been such a little sheepdog for the Labor Party for years and years
He's part of the trots that have been utterly obsessed with failed entryism in the party forever. His parents were Labour Militant, which was IMT/Socialist Appeal now rebranded as RCP (Revolutionary Communist Party). Pretty fair to assume that he's on the same ideological path and organising as his parents.
Yeah he's made some pro
comments that I'm not happy about but he's good on Palestine so I'll give him a pass
