It's a complicated owner structure but there are three board members, the US government appoints one and has the authority to veto the other two. This lets the golden share have effective ownership control of the company without any of the liability

I kind of get the argument for black nationalism inbetween the civil war and the depression, but the Great Migration is so progressed now that there are black communities and neighborhoods in every part of the US, it’s not any kind of geographically contiguous nation. If you tried to make a New Afrikan Republik it would require ethnic cleansing on par with Indian partition and that’s just not desirable.

>>2433718
That’s kind of the worst of all worlds, iirc in China the state not only owns the SOEs but have liability so government officials get punished if the company does poorly

the US political class alongside the capitalist class is indistinguishable. this big "triangle" in picrel is no other but a dot, so the decisions of the politicians are the decisions of the capitalists, and vice-versa.

>>2433727
They’re not quite that unified

>>2433724
>US political class alongside the capitalist class is indistinguishable
Not always, their interests are only aligned when the political class is strong enough to wield violence around the globe to achieve results. We now live in a multipolar world where the political class must make compromises, and this means forcing the domestic capitalist class to adapt to these new conditions out of pure necessity as we here

The West Wing has created a scorecard that rates 553 companies and trade associations on how hard they worked to support and promote President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," a senior White House official tells Axios.

Why it matters: Trump works transactionally, and companies have rushed to pay demonstrative homage. Now, senior aides will have data to consult when considering corporate requests.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is discussing a refugee admissions cap of around 40,000 for the coming year with a majority allocated to white South Africans, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the matter and an internal refugee program email, reflecting a major shift in the U.S. approach to refugees.

Angie Salazar, the top refugee program official at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, told state-level refugee workers that she expected the cap to be 40,000, according to an email summary of an August 1 meeting reviewed by Reuters.

JEP study: Ordinary people's views on housing are out of step with the economics literature. People do not believe that more housing would reduce housing prices. Instead they attribute high housing prices to putative bad actors (landlords, developers) and support price controls and demand subsidies.

China is a unique case because most of the time they 100% own the company so if they mess up they feel the pain, as opposed to countries using the golden share where if the government fucks up its the shareholders that suffer

Yeah remember how well Afghanistan went? Let’s go into a place that’s just as mountainous and has three times the population and a huge diaspora that lives here and makes up a huge amount of the police and military that’s a good idea.

>>2433753
Ofc it's not a good idea lol, but I don't think that the american ruling class gives a fuck about that anon

>>2433754
They’re probably planning to dissolve the country like they did with the Soviet Union

>>2433730
sure buddy, they aren't. when United Fruit Company massacred the campesinos in Central America, the US military sent instructors to train the paramilitary groups, through operation PBSUCCESS, that killed the union members seeking better payments, the military wasn't "quite that unified" with the other two. when US Secretary of State John Foster Dulles negotiated a land grab of the territories in Guatemala with lawyers of the United Fruit Company, that wasn't "quite that unified", the political vertex wasn't "quite that unified".
Just because you have people like mike lindell doing kabuki theater or zuckerberg saying that they shouldn't have done X or Y thing under senile biden, it doesn't mean they are the most undistinguishable dot there is in the world.

It‘s ridiculous how utterly docile and defenseless Americans are right now. What‘s with all that 2nd amendment talk and fighting against tyrannical governments? Granted, those were Republicans, but how come the libleft and actual leftists aren‘t making use of it? It‘s time to start killing my friends. Get your AR-15 you keep beside the night stand, get out your Magnum .44 that you keep under you pillow and get going.

Dirtbag right-wingers have been talking about the day of the rope since 1970 and never did anything despite having all the guns and being overrepresented in the army/police. Americans are very docile.

>>2433776
or rather people in developed societies are very docile, you have no reason to start killing civilians until society goes to shit completely, it is otherwise too comfortable for that

>>2433766
Amerilards are lazy, overweight and docile people anon, they'd have to get up out of their mobility scooters to do smt like that

And yes this counts for all westoids, minus the mobility scooter part

Marx was completely wrong in assuming the more developed capitalism became, the further it would polarize the classes and radicalize the proletariat, the opposite has happened, development pacifies and shrinks the proletariat

>>2433779
That too

>>2433782
it literally counts for anyone in a country that is more developed than mexico, you don't just have the will to fight when there's no reason to
>>2433785
it pacifies everyone, not just the proletarians

this is why liberals who believe a genuine new hitler style government is ever gonna emerge are also stupid, at most you're gonna get an american vargas or post-ww2 franco, not a hitler, not a ᴉuᴉlossnW, not anyone like that

>>2433790
Nah, the military is married to the idea of the constitution, they don’t have the imagination nor the political will to carry out a coup or help in a self coup

>>2433794
you misunderstood what i said, but what i meant is a soft-dictatorship, since while those two were technically military dictatorships, spain stopped being a military dictatorship in 1945, brazil by the late 30s

>>2433785
Marx still may be correct in the sense that capitalism needed to develop globally and exhaust all of its investment potential before crises first start appearing in the developed nations. The shrinking work force contributes to this

>>2433790
>>2433790
True fascist parties only emerge where socialist parties hold sway

>>2433797
And the US military is too married to the constitution to support a soft dictatorship

>>2433798
yeah he wasn't wrong i don't think, i think you will see it once societies start to grind to a halt from simultaneous overdevelopment and underdevelopment, when people are starving, only then will you see violence,

>>2433790
Yeah I always think the "we're soon gonna be like nazi Germany" is very off the mark. The burgerreich is a whole different beast and the current day is a whole different time. It's transforming into something else. Fascism isn't really that relevant to the analysis. But y'know, weight of history, nightmare on the minds of the living, yadayada

>>2433798
They’re never going to run out because you can always switch the locations of the periphery and the metropole, develop one metropole, abandon it and strip it for parts, build up another new metropole until profits fall then repeat the cycle.

no, because fascism doesn't emerge in the 21st century as well, it has no similar conditions
>>2433802
they aren't, there isn't any reason to believe they'd pull an american carnation revolution, although they could i just don't believe it, and also a soft dictatorship doesn't require overriding the constitution or even ending elections either, it can all be done constitutionally to where i doubt the US military would care
