Corruption often rises from centralizarion of power without having “checks and balances”. So Central economy planning system might be more to blame, than the socialist movement part of communism.
Not to mention, that in a central economy planning system, there is no accurate way for the average Joe to signal on what he needs/wants to be made (talking about consumer items, not base needs).
That kinda creates the need for separate markets to rise to meet the demand, which works without the supervision by the state. The market can’t really self-regulate, so a lot of people end up scammed daily.
Ah… the glory of USSR and the hoops and whistles an average man had to take to buy a shitty radio.

Has the thought ever occur to you, that maybe Russia can just leave Ukraine be? Just maybe another country that is resisting wants to keep it’s sovereignty? Maybe the Tankie word is for people that fails to have any critical thought?


OOK OOK NOOK OOK!



Did the CIA used mind control for the Russians to invade? Hard to see how the US could have started the proxy war.

They are developing them tho. Also they got their long range drones, that already managed to explode russian oil. So it’s not a realm of possibilities.
Also it has never been considered a proxy war. It’s literal Russian propaganda punch line, my dude. Find better sources than RT

Four months more for Ukraine to ramp up production for their own long-range missiles.


Most of world sides with Russia

I understand lightning network exists to somewhat reduce intermediate transactions. But the actual transaction to be written into the blockchain a lot of energy must be used to calculate the hash. Still difficult to follow you on how the number is wrong, mate.

I mean by somewhat more up to date news it seems like he is correct. Bitcoin is wildly inefficient and basically non scaling.
Nothing worked for me until Covid came and I’ve stopped seeing my friends who smoked. Best of luck on your endeavour!
