You can't really separate them, there's no Zohran without Bernie. They're both steps on the path to shifting popular consciousness. Plus Zohran needs a lot more time to be properly evaluated.

Is this like all the whack-ass laws crank Republicans introduce in the US that never go anywhere or will this actually go into effect?

Yup, he is very intelligently positioning himself to lead the post-Trump right wing movement in the US. He's reading the wind.

I think it will go down as a meaningful indicator of the popular shift towards socialism.

No! I thought this was the one industry that China somehow wouldn't become the world leader in!

Art is fascist when I assume it doesn't depict humans

Goofy because Solarpunk (while idealist as @Chapo_is_Red@hexbear.net points out) is more interested in human involvement and labor than any other "-punk" aesthetic.

death to america

The main one was the elimination of the Large Financial Transactions Tax (LFTT) in bolivars.

This is a move to encourage investment in local currency instead of the dollar?

If you were the head of the party, what would be the most important deep structural changes to implement? You've talked a lot about increasing consumption, using MMT, etc. But I'm curious if you have suggestions about the deeper structures of government and property that are the basis of the real economy.

I primarily use stainless steel and I have two enameled cast iron as backups (just because they have to be hand washed while the steel can go in the dishwasher). They're all great and should be regularly used by my great-grandchildren.

Agreed with your analysis.

I think the most effective type of resistance we can expect given the conditions is not lethally violent but stridently resistant. Mass groups of rapid response protestors willing to hold the line and prevent them from fully carrying out raids or slow them down significantly and wearing them down in their job with tons of riot control type duty,

This is the necessary step to higher levels of militancy, too. The masses will not go from political inactivity to peaceful protest to armed revolutionary militias. They must advance through stages of struggle heightening in a dialectic with state repression. One of our key tasks as revolutionaries is to assist the masses at each of those steps, making their actions more coordinated and effective through our skills and organization while advancing a revolutionary line to keep them moving forward.

This is why many countries are desperately trying to make deals with Trump

Do you have any evidence for this

If true, Putin remains a huge loser

China's imports from ASEAN have been consistently growing.

Most deserved death of all time contender

You better be organizing people open to new political perspectives right now!

That's kinda what he's doing to every country on the planet, to varying degrees, with his tariffs

Wow, that nissan is such a beautiful addition

Damn, I would simply not join the genocidal occupation army. A jail stint can't possibly be worse than needing to kill yourself due to the horrors you've committed.

Pretty good list of countries, but I have low expectations
