Marxist analysis of the the mentality behind right-wing libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism?

Personally, I think it's part of the petty-bourgeois delusion that a person can become part of the capitalist elite instead of realizing that they have more in common with the working class.

Tips on coping with the climate crisis and its effects?

It's needless to say that climate change is a very scary topic that is a lot to handle. There are a lot of very bleak predictions, and even optimistic predictions will significantly disrupt humanity for at least some time.

What are your tips on how I (and many others) can cope with this?

(P.S. It's like I make a new post every day, isn't it?)

  • Who would've thought the fucking Netherlands would turn towards fascism again. (counting their time under Nazi occupation)

  • How socially conservative are China and Vietnam, and how can they realistically become more progressive?
  • By "socially progressive", I am referring to the things we usually refer to when it comes to social progress: acceptance of LGBTQ+, rights for women, anti-racism, respect for youth and elderly, etc.

    By "conservative", it would mean opposition to such advances in social progress.

    I'm not the best at wording this.

  • Doesn't the Communist Party of Burma support the rebels? In fact, aren't they literally part of the rebels?

  • How will dedollarization affect US allies? (such as EU and Japan)

    We already know it will fuck up the U.S. economy. How badly will this affect their allies as well?

    Bonus: What are other possible geopolitical effects from this?

  • Why did the USA fund ISIS?

    With the Mujahideen (Taliban and al-Qaeda), it was obvious: attack the Soviets.

    But why ISIS? When they overthrew Saddam, why would they fund a group that would attack their own puppet government?

    How close is socialism to coming back in Russia and Belarus? (April 2024 edition)

    Here I am, asking pretty much the same question again, only a year later. I ask again because conditions have changed a lot even in as little as a year. BRICS is becoming more powerful, state enterprises are becoming stronger in Russia, the USSR remains a positive memory to the majority of Russians and Belarusians. What are your thoughts and predictions?

    I'll try not to ask the same question again to prevent from annoying yall.

    What will the political effects of climate change be like? (Particularly in the imperial core)

    I've heard many people basically say that the climate crisis is what's going to force the imperial core to choose between socialism or barbarism, if they haven't chosen already. What are your thoughts on the manner?

    How will socialism/communism deal with school bullying?

    We've already talked about school and how we can change it in the past. But today I want to discuss a specific topic related to school: bullying.

    As a neurodivergent person, I've had my own share of bullies pick on me in the past, two of which I was lucky not to get into physical fights with. There are so, so many people who have had even worse experiences with bullying.

    In school, children/adolescents pretty much have to be around each other, making it more difficult to deal with bullying.

    How can socialism deal with this issue?

    Thoughts on this video? (It's some self-proclaimed Maoists defending Pol Pot for over 30 minutes)

    Judging by how they don't like transgenderism, they stan Infrared, and one of the creators is a Catholic, we may be dealing with some patsocs.

    Why is North Korea and the Kim family so demonized?

    I asked earlier about why Stalin was so propagandized, but I'd argue that not even he is as propagandized as the DPRK's leaders.

  • Elections for House of Representatives are coming up in my area. All the time, I get blasted with ads arguing in favor or against certain candidates. What stood out to me was this one ad where the candidate was condemned for voting against Israel, and stating that they "refused to condemn terrorism". And most of the people in my area are uneducated about the whole Israeli-Palestinian conflict and why Hamas is fighting in the first place. It's really frustrating how they are taking advantage of that fact.

  • How will the United States, Canada, Australia, etc. be decolonized?

    USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and similar nations are settler-colonial nations where the indigenous people have been genocided to the point where settlers vastly outnumber them. How is decolonization going to work in this situation?

    Bonus: How is a post-revolution Japan going to reconcile with the Ainu and Ryukyu people?

    Why do jobs in many places (such as USA) require credentials/experience/etc. that they previously didn't require?

    I'm looking for an answer to this question that is based in Marxist analysis.

    You know what I'm talking about. Job positions that required advanced degrees when they previously required undergraduate degrees, positions that require bachelors degrees when they used to just require high school, positions that previously had no formal education requirements but now require a high school diploma, etc. Along with jobs that require more experience when they previously required less or even none.

    The most common answer I find is more advanced technology but I don't think that's the full picture. Can you guys explain?
