ICJ orders Israel to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza but not to end war (and write a report about it)
Well, you're on the internet. And it's pretty much just a series of tubes.
I went to Germany in '96, and was amazed how on time the trains were. If the schedule said "7:52 arrival" then set your watch by it.
Now? Not so much.
At this point, it's startlingly clear that de-industrialization is wide scale corporate raiding.
Can anyone point to a country that de-industrialized and maintained infrastructure?
The quotes listed here sound 100% like the kinds of statements from Western Marxism that are evisercated in this article. Very good read which nails the "no country has done REAL socialism/communism" critique common among the western left.

I gotta get the book the article is based on.
The unquestioned, purity fetish grounded, and Sinophobic assumption of Chinese ‘authoritarianism’ and ‘lack of democracy’ also prevents the Western Marxist from learning how the Chinese socialist civilization has been able to creatively embed its socialist democracy in “seven integrated structures or institutional forms (体制tizhi): electoral democracy; consultative democracy; grassroots democracy; minority nationalities policy; rule of law; human rights; and leadership of the Communist Party.”[4] It has withheld them from seeing how a comprehensive study of this whole-process people’s democracy would lead any unbiased researcher to the conclusion Roland Boer has arrived at: namely, that “China’s socialist democratic system is already quite mature and superior to any other democratic system.” This is a position echoed by John Ross (and many other scholars of China), who argues that the “real situation shows that China’s framework and delivery on human rights and democracy is far superior to the West’s.”
This explains why it's virtually impossible to buy a "dumb" TV anymore.
Verhoeven has always been great with the satire.
Showgirls is brilliant if you realize it's cutting satire.
I can't imagine someone like Verhoeven getting allowed to make big budget Hollywood movies now.
My whole family is lactose intolerant or milk allergic. My son is too.
Having to navigate a no dairy diet at daycare or school is difficult.
As imperfect as Ba’athist governments were, they were objectively better than what’s followed.
I wonder if very many Americans even know how the US has systematically targeted and destroyed pan-Arab, socialist leaning governments.
It's another case of white, European colonists committing genocide against an indigenous population.
20 years from now, it'll all be "oh how awful" and they'll make Dances with Wolves style sad movies about it.
Rape and possibly murder.
Sounds like good cop, bad cop.
