In the United States, for over a hundred years, the ruling interests tirelessly propagated anticommunism among the populace, until it became more like a religious orthodoxy than a political analysis. During the Cold War, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

When is the Chinese vaccine rolling out?

Can I have a source for that image?

Mongolia's really getting the rub on this one.

And yet the west all frame this as attempting to imperialist Africa - not, of course, helping countries that the west is not even interested in helping.

Lmao it says that Morocco is going to get the vaccine in 2023, bitch I have friends there who already got both doses lmao

AMLO will say something nice and cdmx libs will go off

South Africa isn't getting one until 2022!?

All things considered, I've really tried to stay positive or at least somewhat optimistic about things. But I'd be lying if I said I don't worry a lot about how exactly the vaccine roll-out will look like after the front line workers get it. Not only that, as this map clearly shows, we can be almost certain who is not going to get it for awhile which is incredibly sad and frustrating.

And personally, as a courier, I'm broke af but I'm out there interacting with people for 8 or more hours a day, 6 days a week. I already know ill not be able to get the vaccine anytime soon, but it is frustrating thinking about how people like me and other retail/food service type jobs are some of the most likely to catch covid, but also some of the least likely to get it in a reasonable time. Its going to just add more unnecessary misery cause of people like rich techies working from home in their isolated cabin in like Lake Tahoe are much more likely to get it than someone who is actually forced to be outside in order to survive. I really am trying to stay positive but it really gets me down when I think about how we have soooo much injustice in this world.

lmao ukraine get fucked

A friends mother (We are in the global south) said she will get any vaccine except the chinese one. You do you I guess

Comrade is it possible to get some of the vaccine shipped to us?
