Dear socialist friend,
Nothing is stopping you.
If collective ownership works so much better, you can prove it by next Tuesday. Pool your savings with your comrades. Elect a planning committee. Run a bakery, a farm, a repair shop – shared ownership, equal pay, decisions by vote. All of it is fully legal, today, everywhere in the West. No revolution needed.
And yet.
You want the workers to seize the factories – but you won’t open a food truck with three people from your group chat. You demand collective housing – but you won’t sign a joint lease with people who agree with you about everything.
People have tried voluntary socialism for two hundred years. The communes keep dissolving – the members simply walk out. The only socialist countries that lasted were the ones that locked the borders.
That’s the whole story. Where leaving is allowed, everyone leaves. Socialism only survives where leaving is banned. The people voted – on foot.
Just do it. Or admit that "collective" was always just a word for other people’s property.
Russia has spent $1 billion in the last few days attacking Kyiv. Not building roads, hospitals or fixing the failing economy - on murdering civilians. This is the priority of a nation totally obsessed with terrorism and nothing else.
“Just because you’re offended, it doesn’t mean that you’re right.
You’re allowed to be offended, but it doesn’t mean anyone has to do anything about it.”

There needs to be a total EU-wide entry ban for Russian citizens who took part in Russian aggression against Ukraine.
First, it’s about the long-term national security of European states and the protection of their citizens from Russian thugs.
Second, this will set the right price for the wrong choices: each Russian who signs a contract to invade Ukraine must know that he also signs himself a lifelong entry ban to Europe.
Estonia has already demonstrated leadership by implementing relevant national decisions and proving that the mechanism works. Now it is time to expand this to the entire European Union, and I urge my EU colleagues to take this step seriously.
This is about strengthening the security of Europe.

Remember 2019. Epstein is arrested. He's ready to talk. And suddenly — "suicide". The cameras are turned off. Security guards "fall asleep" and fake the magazine. It was a sweep. Epstein knew too much about everyone — both the Clintons and the Princes, but above all-about Trump, who was then president and whose Justice Department (under Barr's leadership) controlled the prison.
Trump survived. He's back in power. He has immunity. His team is now screaming about Bill Clinton, switching attention. Yes, Clinton is there, too, and he's a scumbag. But Clinton is a pensioner in the country, and Trump is a man with a nuclear suitcase, which is probably remotely controlled from Lubyanka through old videotapes with compromising material.
Conclusions
We're here. The most powerful country in the world is ruled by a man who is accused of raping children, and who is terrified of the disclosure of his sins by Russian curators.
Attitudes towards women and children are a marker. It doesn't happen that at night you are a pedophile, and in the morning you are a patriot and statesman. Nations that choose such leaders are doomed. No matter how powerful their aircraft carriers may seem. Rot comes from the head. And this head has long since rotted away.
P.S. a few words in the context of Moscow's aggression. Don't expect this perverted uncle to solve the war issue in our best interests. From the word in general.
Take off your glasses. This is not the" savior of the nation", but an old, cynical pervert, for whom moral boundaries were erased back in the 90s at Epstein's parties.
Do you seriously think that a person who discussed "fresh meat" with a smile and turned a blind eye to child trafficking will suddenly be imbued with the fate of Bucha, Mariupol or human rights in Ukraine? For Trump, Ukraine is not a state to fight for. For him, this is the same "calendar girl" as those who were in Mar-a-Lago. Just an asset. Just a body that you can use to pay for your interests or debts to the Kremlin curators.
The truth we fear is simple: Trump and Putin are not geopolitical opponents. These are colleagues in the shop. They are mental twins. Both despise weakness, the law, and other people's lives.
When two rapists are locked in the same room with the victim, they are not fighting for her honor or salvation. They agree. They agree on who keeps it and who uses it. They can only rape two people-one physically, with their missiles and tanks, and the other politically, by forcing surrender and blocking aid.
Moscow aggression is not a crime for Trump. This is a"business opportunity". And if you think he's coming to Moscow to protect us from his old pedophile friend, you're as naive as those girls who boarded Epstein's plane hoping for a modeling career.
We're on our own. And the sooner we realize that the world is ruled by monsters, the more likely we are to survive in this global brothel.
For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.
Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

Europe does not need the US to break Russia’s war machine and enable Ukrainian victory. Europe needs its leaders to find their proverbial balls and finally do their job: protect Europe.
