Actually that's false, and it should have been obvious to you that it's false. Most of the third world can eat just fine without western help, the actual vast majority.
What do western charities and NGOs do? The exact same thing they do within their own economies, which is helping the most unfortunate.
In fact literally 90% of western charity donations go to westerners. Less than 8% is spent on the "third world"
"Only communism can free the working class"—from property, voluntary exchange, independent decision-making, and, historically, the ability to leave without permission. An interesting definition of freedom.
That's historical revisionism. Many workplace improvements became affordable because capitalism massively increased productivity and wealth. Laws often codified changes that rising living standards had already made possible, while some regulations also created new barriers and unintended consequences.
Child labor declined primarily because families became wealthy enough that children no longer had to work. The five-day workweek and shorter hours spread as productivity rose. Unions sometimes improved bargaining power, but they also protected insiders at the expense of outsiders. Minimum wage laws don't "protect" everyone—they legally price some of the least-skilled workers out of the job market. Lumping all of these together as "protection from capitalism" ignores the role capitalism played in making them economically possible in the first place.
We continue to carry out our deep and mid-range strikes against Russian infrastructure facilities that prop up Russia’s aggression. Our strikes under the long-range sanctions plan are always about justified responses aimed at depriving the Russian war machine of its resources. In particular, today action was taken against three logistics centers in different regions of the Russian Federation – in Sarapul, Kazan, and Volgograd, at distances ranging from around 500 to nearly 1,300 kilometers.
In the Krasnodar region, a maritime terminal was hit. The facility is about 270 kilometers from the front line. Also, nearly 480 kilometers from the line of contact, an oil refinery in the Volgograd region was hit. There were also successful strikes in the Sea of Azov.
We are protecting our people and will continue to act as necessary to achieve peace. Thank you to all our warriors who are delivering these precise and important results for Ukraine.
Most of these people will tell you straight up that the dictators we had for those years were installed by the CIA OR were dispatched by the CIA before they could positively impact Nigeria.
And this bothers me, actually, because this makes the theory unfalsifiable.
If what we need is a dictatorship, but that dictatorship is also vulnerable to neocolonialism, then what exactly is the point of the dictatorship?
I still haven't seen a satisfying response to this.
The funniest are the ones that think they’ll get rich if they turn to a “bad girl”.
Wonder what you bring to the market that your competitors lack
Cold go wound you for Awolowo 😂😂
Marxism is so depleted it's insane. No ambition, no new answers, no adjustments. Just 1917 forever. A Bolshevik infinity. We must imagine Sisyphus seizing the means of production.
The World Cup has no sporting integrity without the confederation which just supplied 75% of its quarter and semi finalists, as well as 5 of its last 6 winners - but more importantly, it ceases to be commercially viable.
FIFA's 'subsidiary' is practically worthless without them.
Infantino's scheme is effectively dead.
There is no World Cup without Europe.
No one is going to tune in to watch Brazil and Argentina pound the rest of the world.
UEFA is still the prime commercial draw.
European nations have agreed to boycott the World Cup over FIFA’s plans to sell stakes in the tournament to private investors.
The decision was taken at a virtual meeting of the 55 national associations which are members of UEFA, the European football confederation, on Thursday, according to sources with knowledge of the meeting.
The next World Cup in the calendar is the women’s edition in Brazil next summer, followed by the men’s tournament in Spain, Portugal and Morocco in 2030.
