Eh corruption and nepotism definitely existed in socialist states too and probably always will to some extent, I just think the damage done by corruption pales in comparison to the systemic damage capitalism in general does.
Overfocusing on corruption as one of the biggest problems in society is a liberal narrative because they're incapable of thinking holistically about the entire system.

Probably, although they probably can't force you to reveal it's your dick that unlocks the phone.
Honestly their launch announcement is so vague it could be everything and nothing.
The only time I ever encountered a Trotskyist was when I asked this guy what his ideology was and he kept giving the most convoluted, esoteric answers using a brunch of random, pseudointellectual jargon.

Sympathy isn't a finite resource, just because I acknowledge the humanity of rich people (even tho on a personal level I detest them) doesn't mean I acknowledge the suffering of poor people less. Like the person above said, being so performative about your hatred towards the rich is ultimately pointless.

Don't forget it's also a bit like Hogwarts students fighting the Deatheaters.

I fucking hate living in the EU sometimes, fucking spineless bureaucratic dweebs.
The sad thing is I think Yanis is right, EU institutions, if used properly, could jumpstart socialist development in the entire union but it will never happen because the people that run them are absolute ghouls.
Honestly I think they've been drinking their own kool-aid, I think they genuinely believed China has no capacity for innovation without the intervention of western capital.
It got my GPU completely wrong tho, it showed it was many generations older than it really is.
