    The wide sentiment down here in Australia is that when she croaks we become a republic. To the point where the former leader of the moderate faction of our conservative party basically said that when he was in power. More than likely we have another referendum on the monarchy and I think its a 60/40 chance of passing.

    This is literally like every Chuds use of Communism. Imperialism: When a group seizes control of another group. Or when China builds a railway in Africa. Or when the Soviet Union repels the Germans and then gives power to Communists in Germany to ensure fascists dont seize power. Or when Cuba sends doctors to other countries.


  • I have been scrolling through American conservative news sources comment sections about Australia. Some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. Really makes you realise how little Americans understand about the rest of the world. Some of the comments were literally 'Of course they have no freedom the only place that's free is America'. Really helped me understand the mind of an American conservative and their view of the world. Highly recommend for all Australians.

    If you're looking for a good shonen I recommend Jujutsu Kaisen. Very good fights, very good characters and also no ridiculous fan service characters. Also some good horror elements and social commentary.


  • Well it depends on what role a PMC has within a company. If they are, like you say, just someone that gets to have a well paying job within the company then yeah they aren't the petit bourgeoisie, but to me the term can also mean mid level managers, i.e. a stage below owners/shareholders/executives who represent the bourgeoisie, but who do not rely on their labor for income, instead relying on placing themselves high enough above the proletariat to reap benefits from being a lackey to the bourgeoisie in the form of managing the proletariat, which I would classify as petit bourgeois. However I also think this distinction is not that important when analysing the overall relationship between capital and labor.

    For the reasons you mentioned (Capital interdependence) and for the fact that a one on one conventional war with China would probably be the bloodiest war in American history I don't think they'll start a war with China. This means they are going to find a weaker country they think they can push around. They might not invade the place but they'll start saying shit like 'we need to get tough on Venezuela/Iran/Cuba/Syria/[insert enemy of American hegemony here]', though I could see the ghouls deciding to do some shit like invading Haiti or Venezuela or intervening in Syria. I think the most likely thing America is going to with China is just start beating the drums of war as loud as possible without having to actually commit to something that could lead to a full on war. This might be more ships in the South China Seas, closer military cooperation with Japan/India/the Philippines/South Korea(though I don't see how that could be any closer), hoping to get a response from China to paint them as the greatest threat to the world, thereby finding a new justification for giving unlimited money to the military industrial complex, as now the War on Terror is kinda over.
