Good point. I’ve never seen an ad on it and I’ve been using it for at least a week. There’s sponsored content, but you’d have to go looking for it. Like if I wanted to watch some videos about Nike shoes, I’d see sponsored videos and such. But no actual ads.

Based on the interaction with the app. The features are extensive. There’s no ads. My data has most likely been leaked by American companies anyways, so what’s the big deal?

Rednote doesn’t have ads

So far it’s been a wildly better experience

Or just go to rednote instead

Get ready for The Great Depression Pt. 2: The Electric Boogaloo

Sounds like another great reason for Amazon workers to organize a labor union.

Last time we had a tariff war like this was the great depression

In my opinion, it’s been a beautiful and cultural exchange.

China wants to keep Western propaganda away from their people because it’s capitalist swill. It’s within their best interest to open up Chinese propaganda to Western audiences though. It’s all about home field advantage.

When Khrushchev took power he had many of the documents from the Stalin and Lenin eras burned. Early Soviet history is essentially non existent and impossible to prove with what little is left. Most official documentation is destroyed. Lenin may have just liked using that quote when he read it elsewhere. We can have truly know.

Oh yeah, I forgot the other social media apps don’t collect data and spew propaganda. Oh wait… They do.

Dialects explains that the world is full of contradictions and opposing forces. When these opposing forces come together, they can form a new thing. An easy example is to look at multiple opposing news sources to piece together the entire truth of an event.

Dialectical materialism is Marx’s concept that contradictions in material conditions of life are what drive historical change. Primarily that the economic base (economic classes, resources, working conditions) is what shapes the superstructure of society (laws, politics, culture.)

If you don’t like it, go back to Reddit.

I mean, that’s literally the conclusion that Richard Wolff came to. Call it whatever, just as long as we do it.

The boss can still be bossy if elected. Your 5 year rule is silly and does not address the overlying problem, which is that the CEO works for the shareholders and they only care about making record quarterly profit gains at any cost.

CEOs should just be elected by the employees

Somebody bring Fred Hampton back from the dead.

She probably has her assets tied up in foreign banks where the state can’t access it. Anarchists are dumb and only useful for revolutionary purposes. Once revolutions end, so must the anarchist. Currency is a necessity because there is not enough material abundance to not need it. All the shit jobs that no one wants to do needs to be automated before we can remove money. This is the dream that Marx had for Communism. If you don’t understand the basic foundation for achieving a true Communist society, then you are not educated enough to speak on the subject.

Kim Il-Sung tried demonetization prematurely from the dprk and it ended horribly. You cannot advance society into a Communist state without making the proper technological and material advancement necessary to support it. But you anarchists want to live in hippie communes and sing songs instead of advancing society. Marx did not advocate for a reverting back to tribal society, but a necessary progression from capitalism to socialism and eventually communism.

Any Communist knows that this future is not possible until money is no longer a necessity. As long as money exists, there will be those that exploit it to control and oppress those with less than. Capital punishment is necessary to end this exploitation. That being said, they’re giving her a choice, pay back $9 billion or die. Pretty simple. She has an opportunity to not die.
