I really want to know who's in charge of US foreign policy right now. Is Blinken calling all the shots? Or is he still taking orders from Biden? Are they trying to start a regional war before Kamala comes in and gets rid of Blinken? Real liberal fascist infighting hours going on behind the scenes, I bet.

"Dollarize the economy."
I think you just discovered the plot for The Fast and the Furious 10.
BRB, hiring a coyote to smuggle a cool Chinese EV over the border to avoid tariffs.
The constant revamping of the production process, the uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, and the everlasting uncertainty and agitation of society distinguish the bourgeois era from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relationships, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away. All new-formed relationships become outdated before they can solidify. All that is fixed melts into air, all that is sacred is profaned, and people are at last compelled to face with sober senses their real conditions of life, and thier relations with each other.
-Some guy, in some manifesto, in 1848
Lib - "Markets make everything cheaper, which is good."
Leftist - "But if there is a labor market, won't that make labor cheaper?"
Lib - "Yes, and that is good."
Leftist - "How is that good?"
Lib - "It leads to more profits."
Leftist - "But why is it good to have more profits?"
Lib - "Because a good country is when corporations make profits, and the more profits the corporations make, the gooder the country is."
China prohibits same sex marriage
Dude. America prohibited same-sex marriage until 2015. And it was not Obama or Congress who legalized gay marriage in America, it was 9 unelected judges, by a 5-4 ruling by the way. And those same 9 unelected judges can take away Americans' right to gay marriage any time they want to. There are lawsuits in place that are trending in that direction. As if America does not have a history of anti-gay discrimination...
Even within the imperialist regime, I feel like there is intense debate about whether Israel should start a 2/3 front war. They are biting off more than they can chew. Surely some of the more level-headed American military members remember how badly America lost in war games against Iran. A full-scale Iranian war would cripple global oil supplies. It would clog the arteries of empire.
