The amount you'd need to get rid off would put you in territory or pure fantasy though. Also, the government would probably step in and force a merger.

The problem is: these guys aren't foundational to how these companies work. Killing them might cause some confusion, and even make it so the upper management stops squabbling for personal gain for a decade. You'd probably strengthen it.

If, by some miracle, you do cause the whole organization to unravel and split up: you'll likely get a repeat of standard oil, where the new companies combined expanded so much quicker and made so much more profit. Just like how pruning a tree makes it healthier and grow with more vigor.

Better to let the rot start from the roots.

Regardless of whether you need it. Taking a prolonged leave will leave you feeling better and more productive. Leave shouldn't be taken right on the precipice of burnout, quite the opposite.

The West owns enough potential mines, the problem is that they don't care about developing them. Instead they'll sit on the land for a few years and then sell it on. Also, the problem isn't the availability of the metals but the processing. China does the processing, and as such they have to buy from China.

"Battle for Resources" is only a partial truth. The resources or rather productive forces will remain underdeveloped as long as capitalists can inflate their spreadsheets through the virtual economy and hiking prices in the short term.

Wouldn't the correct way be Ukraine nonetheless? Just like players in the German football team used to have their stated birthplace be the GDR.

Looking through the comments of a major subreddit and knowing that it's mostly just humans losing their shit as opposed to bots is refreshing for a change though.

You're probably talking about r / politics. People say that you need to subscribe to the subreddit to see them.

Great tool to radicalize people, though as marxists we shouldn't define ourselves by our direct contribution to the almighty GDP.

Some jobs don't produce a form of wealth or labour you can extract, all while still contributing to a prosperous society.

You know, for someone who is supposed to be knowledgeable on Chinese socialism, it's a pity the author didn't reference the story of Ah Q. Ah Q's mentality, or rather Dutch comfort is one of the pillars Western Marxist ineptitude draws from.

Citroën Berlingo

I'm guessing a 2m length bed would be difficult?

Probably going to follow in your footsteps in a year. What kind of van is it?

I can't foresee a single way this could go wrong.
