Is this a joke? I thought anarchists were in agreement that anarchy is more than just statelessness. You may as well have posted a picture of Somalia c. 2010
China has been unwilling to challenge the dollar with yuan
IMO this is actually a good thing for socialism and potentially signals China's long-term commitment to it. Of course it would also be great if the dollar were replaced, but replaced with what is very important.
If the yuan were internationalized, China couldn't impose the kind of strong capital controls which have allowed it to develop the economy toward socialism while retaining markets to a (likely necessary) degree. Further, there would be much greater incentive to export capital internationally rather than use it domestically, which could lead to a kind of social imperialism.
The synthesis of maintaining capital controls and dehegemonizing the dollar IMO is that the dollar is replaced not by another single nation's currency (which is just a different kind of unipolarity, after all), but instead by an international currency like the Bancor proposal.
(A dual-circuit thing like the USSR under Stalin would be better for transitioning away from money itself ofc, but I have no clue how that would work across borders and it seems impossible that any capitalist countries would accept such a system. If the world got to that point, socialism as a world-system would have practically already won)
Since when is y'all and nothing else AAVE? How do you think they addressed the crowd at Klan rallies?

China hosts Hamas, Fatah delegations for reconciliation talks
Given the extent of collaboration by Abbas over the years, I can't say I'm optimistic. I thought the same thing about Iran-Saudi Arabia relations too though, and China managed at least a formal rapprochement between the two. This could go well
A big step in the right direction, but let's be real, this is basically just Keynesianism

It doesn't need to be racist to be cringe or unhelpful
Honestly I thought these jokes were funny 3 or 4 years ago but have we not beat the dead horse enough at this point? It's just overplayed now
Grapes of Wrath namedrops Marx and Lenin and one of the characters not only finds his own purpose as a union organizer, but becomes this Christlike figure who inspires and leads his community. How exactly does it not advocate a better system? It's a work of fiction, it's not going to lay out the nuts and bolts of an American gosplan or something.
Idk how anyone, even a Biden supporter, could watch this and not pick up them switching, without missing a beat, from "We're not going to follow poll numbers" to word salad starting with "We're going to follow the American people". They're almost as most as bad at PR as the Israelis. Laughable
