China is not socialist.

China is not communist.

China is capitalist.

In fact, China adopted capitalism in 1978 because before that, socialism/communism killed tens of millions of people.

Most Americans who support socialism are doing so based on lies and confusion.

Most Americans who want socialism don't know what it is.

Latin Americans are rejecting socialism, because they know what it is.

@BIGFATChungus97 @Jwestengaard @eymeux267 @dablack @ComicDaveSmith Great point this. It’s yin and Yang. When labour govts or left govts come into power in their various flavours, public programs tend to get a boost until the right balance them out. Sometimes it goes too far one way, like now in some of these countries.

[T.C @couti317]

@BIGFATChungus97 @eymeux267 @dablack @ComicDaveSmith Ps love you long time America! But wish some of the reasonable middle would get more of a say over there. We need you to get back to normal because our useless govts keep buying all your bad ideas right now.

[T.C @couti317]

@BIGFATChungus97 @eymeux267 @dablack @ComicDaveSmith Lol Americans and their black and white thinking. Most of those countries employ elements of both socialism and capitalism. USA has just gone more extreme into capitalism which hasn’t been all bad, but now you want to go the extreme other way. Insane.

Anonymous online accounts threaten democracy and must be banned, say politicians. But now, the Australian government wants to use anonymous "sock puppet" bot accounts as part of its broader push for sweeping online censorship. Terrifying, unprecedented, and Orwellian.

Capital Brief named our Joint Select AI submission the most ambitious of all.

Our pitch: an independent, Australian sovereign frontier AI lab with seed capital from the Australian Future Fund and every Australian getting an equal stake in their super fund. Not renting another foreign model forever.

Builders not renters!

This was me as a little girl, forced into hijab. And this is me after I broke free.

In Iran, I was told: wear the hijab or be kicked out of school. Resist, and you can be arrested, beaten, lashed, or imprisoned, or killed it in the hand of morality Police.

Then I came to the West and was told: be careful telling your story, it might cause “Islamophobia.”

I am a woman from the Middle East. I have lived under Islamist ideology. I have every right to fear it, criticize it, and speak about it.

Don’t silence us in the name of tolerance. Let us talk.

Before this conversation, I thought I understood Bruno Fernandes.

I knew the numbers. The goals, the assists, the leadership, the criticism he’s faced over the years at Manchester United.

But I didn’t understand the mentality behind it.

Bruno has arguably become United’s greatest player of the post-Ferguson era, carrying their creativity season after season.

He’s won more club player of the year awards than Ronaldo, and only five players have scored more than his 70 league goals.

So I went to Manchester United Training Ground to ask him questions the footballing world wants to know.

Bruno spoke about growing up in Porto, watching his father sacrifice his own football career to provide for the family. He told me his dad never praised him for scoring goals. Instead, he’d point out the small things he still needed to improve.

And somehow that mindset shaped one of the most resilient athletes in world football.

We spoke about:

- Why he believes character matters more than talent in elite teams.
- How dressing room culture determines whether talent succeeds or fails.
- Why taking risks is essential if you want to create anything extraordinary!
- His honest opinion on pressure and why he thinks it’s a privilege.
- His thoughts on having Michael Carrick as a manager.
- Addressing Roy Keane’s criticism.

When you listen to Bruno speak, you understand that what makes him exceptional isn’t just technical ability. It’s his standards.

The standards he holds himself to.
The standards he expects from teammates.
The standards he believes define culture.

I really respect how Bruno chose to join United during instability because he believed in rebuilding something meaningful rather than joining an “easy” project.

I saw a much softer and more thoughtful side of Bruno that I don’t think people will expect. So, thank you Bruno for taking the time to sit down with me and for being so vulnerable.

Even if you don’t care about football, there’s a huge amount to learn from this conversation about leadership, resilience and high performance.

There’s something weirdly late Soviet about celebrating the construction of 45 homes in 9 months.

@Wavy2Roundish5 @KonstantinKisin I hear you on format, but we can leave it here. I was just interested in your actual perspective, and you’ve made that clear. We don’t agree on everything, and that’s fine. I lean toward thinking some forms of modern corporatism go too far.

[T.C @couti317]

@Wavy2Roundish5 @KonstantinKisin Labour is essential, no argument there. But coordination, capital allocation, and risk don’t just disappear, they still need to be handled somehow. So the real question isn’t “can workers do it,” it’s what structure consistently works best, and how the value gets shared.

[T.C @couti317]

@Wavy2Roundish5 @KonstantinKisin I’m not saying workers can’t coordinate, take risks, or scale. The question is whether that’s the most effective or common way to organise production at scale, and why different ownership structures emerge in the first place.

[T.C @couti317]

@Wavy2Roundish5 @KonstantinKisin I don’t think it’s owners vs workers a la Coke v Pepsi. Both create value. Workers through production, and owners by coordinating resources, taking risk, and scaling ideas into something that reaches millions of people. Is your issue distribution?

[T.C @couti317]

@Wavy2Roundish5 @KonstantinKisin Saying “go read” isn’t an argument. You still haven’t answered the actual question. You just told me to go read and called it exploitation.

If your position is that large-scale value can’t justify large rewards, just say that. Otherwise we’re not really having a discussion.
