In a different tweet he said it is unpaid

Also this isn't an official government department unless congress makes it one

In a pinch this is a viable strategy, particularly at stores and restaurants. They often throw out still good food.

Yes and no. I think a lot would depend how familiar the person is with communist theory and current events and history to say if it is in line or not.

For me it was in line it the sense that I know how market oriented things are there but the more specifics on how state control/direction (as it was called here) work are new to me

Thanks for sharing this! I like how it goes a bit more into details than a lot of what is available on policy

I appreciate the effort here. One major flaw I see in your argument is ignoring historical context. You point to the CPC being very wealthy and owning a large amount oy stock and businesses and use that to argue other parties should too, but you leave off the how and why the CPC owns so much. It wasn't as you argue others should do, by out competing capitalists, but rather due to their actions after their successful revolution. I'd suggest elaborating more on this to see if you can reconcile some issues in your proposal. Additionally I'd consider how capitalists are trying currently to do what you suggest the communist parties do, to essentially buy out all competition.

More relevant to current events and more likely to sell subscriptions

A quick scan of the article makes it clear what they mean here:

A political party with an armed wing

Looking at it through that lense it isn't a terrible take but a gross oversimplification of Hezbollah

Have you read Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed yet? It isn't quite what you are looking for but covers the revolution itself from a first hand account

This very much reads like the whole "China is weeks away from collapse." Every once in a while there is some fear mongering over the Treasury and bonds. This also coming from the Heritage Foundation is rather convenient with their call for fiscal responsibility and measuring the decline as being 3.5 years in the making.

While a US collapse would be good for a lot of the world this is clearly a political ad for Trump and project 2025. As in don't get your hopes up of anything meaningful happening

You'll probably be interested in this theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_civil_religion

Having grown up there I don't inherently disagree with this idea

For the exercise if you can add a bit more it could help with getting tired when you want to sleep.

Yea like I said I understand the diet one might not be possible to change much with that.

I suppose pen and paper could be part of a winding down routine. Maybe spend a bit of time before bed writing down anything on your to do list or on your mind. It might help with falling asleep easier

  1. Might be worth having your last a bit earlier. I've found that a cup at noon makes a difference for me falling asleep so most days I stick to just the one at 6ish when I wake up
  2. If possible throw in some exercising, it'll help with tiring you out even if it isn't super intense. Plus it is good for overall health
  3. Again here, if possible get a bit better options in. Canned food isn't inherently bad but it can be overly salty at times. I get that there could be economic reasons that make this one harder to accomplish so do what you can but don't overburden yourself
  4. That's good, means you don't likely have to change much there. It could help to set a routine to make stopping with the phone easier. Like adding a 30 min reading session before bed or some meditation, or yoga if that is your thing. Essentially some routine to train yourself and your body that it is time to sleep

All this might sound like a lot but you don't have to be perfect on day one and have to find a thing that works for you

 

Hope you all have a great day in celebration of workers! I was curious if anyone was doing anything in particular to celebrate.

Personally I reread the Communist Manifesto as that is a tradition I've been doing the last couple years. Otherwise enjoying the day off as it is a holiday here
