The first woman in space wasn’t a billionaire.
She was a Soviet textile worker.
The Soviet Union looked at a factory worker and saw a future cosmonaut.
The world got Valentina Tereshkova.
the Soviet Union had women cosmonauts and a legion of decorated antifascist war heroines the same year women in Canada were first "allowed" to open bank accounts without their husbands' written permission.
His books were readily available to read in USSR. They were studied as any ideologies would be studied.
There is a great story Michael Parenti used to tell about a trip he took to USSR. He was with a bunch of American academics, who had been talking down on the Soviets and the censorship they guessed they had been under.
When one of them asked a Soviet academic which western theorists he’d read, he rattled off a long list, which both Friedman and Hayek were on. The Soviet then asked the American which Soviet theorists he’d been able to read.
And the American couldn’t list a single one.
That story is a perfect encapsulation of how real, effective censorship works. You’re not outright forbidden to read. You are, instead, gaslit into it with billions of dollars worth of propaganda, information marginalization, distortion, and lies.
This is why you still find people today who believe in cartoons, rather than simply opening their eyes and looking at the real world, who retreat into safe abstractions rather than face the cold, hard reality that we are the most propagandized, socially engineered, and brain washed people in history.
Mind you, Cuba accomplished this while under the most excruciating sanctions. Imagine everything they could do if the US sanctions were lifted.
Long live the Cuban revolution!!! Long live Fidel!! Long live Raul!! Love live Che!!!
In most of the USSR in the late Soviet years, the gradual rise of nationalism was not a popular, bottom‑up revival of “suppressed” and "colonized" identities and cultures, but an elite tool and project – of the corrupt nomenklatura and the national intelligentsia. Both were beneficiaries of the Soviet revolution asserting their material interests and symbolic status as the system was degenerating. Georgi Derluguian’s greatest book is all about this dynamic
every zionist cruelly mocking activists “go to gaza” “go to gaza” and when people try they get abducted in international waters then raped and tortured in tel aviv.
If you poured a gallon of poison in a CEO's pool, you'd be arrested, for attempted murder.
They pour 10,000 gallons into your drinking water, that's just business.
