>DPRK is the only fucking planned economy left
1. no, even by your standards DPRK is also privatizing somewhat
2. by non-purist standards, most of the economies in the world engage in at least some level of planning. Even the most diehard capitalist governments like the United States don't want to go full ancap because they know damn well that you need to subsidize essential industries, have production quotas for things like food and fuel, and have long term economic plans to strategically outmaneuver geopolitical rivals.
>Fucking glowie filths keep getting away with this every time.
I'm cautiously optimistic. When you first read something like William Blum's Killing Hope it can be easy to get really depressed and despair, but the more recent attempts at CIA/NED coups have failed pretty miserably. The coup against Evo Morales only lasted a year, Anez was thrown in jail, her IMF loan cancelled, and Morales' indigenous socialist party MAS returned to power. The assassination and coup attempts against Maduro failed. Lula got out of jail and beat Bolsonaro. Even if you don't think these guys are socialist enough, it's pretty cool that they bounced back from imperialist meddling. Yes, multipolarity is more scary and unpredictable than unipolarity, but it also presents more opportunities for socialists to seize power since the global unity between the imperial core bourgeoisie and their regional compradors is fractured.

Devil's advocate:
China is doing fine, at the cost of massive liberalization. Not debating the socialist status, but they undoubtedly face the same enemies and the same economic warfare. Last cold war, the domestic bourgeoisie stood to gain mid and long term from breaking ties with socialist countries and subverting their own economies in pursuit of liberalization. Now it's the "first world" who needs protectionism and whose interventions will mostly result in economic subjugation without greater profits.

Oops miss click.

The first world is now acting more like a colonial power than an imperialist one, their only recourse is brute force and the harder they clench their fist the more the means to finance it fall through their fingers. Even the gulf monarchies are now entering into diplomatic and security deals with Iran, against the will of the USA, because they understand the only tool left for the USA is bringing ruin to BRICS's trade partners until they can be forced into a military competition for that trade.

Those are small regions in which investments are allowed. But vast amount of the country has public ownership and they produce for meeting needs according to a plan unlike the red capitalist countries in which even SOE production is for profit and functions like a private company.

>most of the economies in the world engage in at least some level of planning
Yeah but they plan to extract profits for few individuals and exploit workers. Capitalist planning is just socialism for porkies. Red capitalist countries also do planning just to allow companies to exploit workers even better than their neoliberal friends.

Also the countries you mention have no clue what socialism really is about. They are mere social democracies. They are even more dangerous than neoliberals. Such social democratic policies will only push workers further to the right when they see that social democracy fails every time to sustain itself due to capitalist crisis.

>>1488279
>China is doing fine, at the cost of massive liberalization
China might be doing fine now but not for soon. All red capitalists including Lao, Vietnam will eventually face the problems of capitalist relations. Many advanced cities of China already has unaffordable rents. The cost of living is shooting up. Capitalism of course provides a golden age initially. Same was the case with South Korea, Japan, EU and all the rest. But eventually the crisis of overproduction will find their way. The bubbles begin to form and these "socialist" countries will also face one crisis after another unless they go back to central planning to meet needs than profit making. Marxist laws are bullet proof. Every country that adopt capitalist relations will face these problems even if they have communist aesthetics.

Is the internet bullshit?
The vast majority of people use the internet to do banking and mail but slightly faster, and watch shitty slop on Netflix or whatever
Social media is a pyramid scheme to defraud marketing agencies using inflated numbers and making people talk about nonsense
None of it is particularly necessary to the functioning of modern capitalism like it's made out to be, and a lot of the infrastructure relies on increasing monopolization i.e. Cloudflare and Google/Alphabet buying up IP addresses and backbone networks which will probably easily collapse during a financial recession just like what happened when the dot-com bubble popped

How does capitalism, and its most retrograde right wing layers, even keep the idea about race in the public discourse to begin with? I don't think "race" is even really an apolitical and scientific concept to begin with, but if we take science as mediated through the superstructure, then something like race may be naturalised and justified through "genetics" and ancestry/genealogy databases.

The prison sentence of a left-wing radical stirs up controversy in Germany

A 28-year-old woman sentenced to over five years in prison for attacks against neo-nazis.

The verdict of a court in Dresden sparked a series of large-scale protests in Germany.

A 28-year-old woman, referred to by the German press as Lina E., received a prison sentence of five years and three months. Lina E. was found guilty of acts of violence against neo-nazis and extremist far-right groups.

The court also determined that Lina E. was one of the founders of a group defined as radical left-wing by the judiciary. The group was involved in six violent attacks against neo-nazis.

Lina E. has been in pretrial detention for over two and a half years. After the pronouncement of the sentence, the Dresden court released her on bail, as there is a right to appeal the judgment.

Protests are expected

The case of student Lina E., has garnered sympathies from leftist activists across Germany. Just yesterday, supportive demonstrations took place in Leipzig, Bremen, Hamburg, and Berlin.

The soviet union massively profited from Germany being strategically bombed by the allies and for all its faults Stalin was not a genocidal maniac and even if it was degenerated the soviet union was not about exterminating people because muh national revenge so it's non sensical to call them gentle. If the allies hadn't bombed german cities the soviets would have because it just makes sense in a total war.
