In that film series, the city's inability to pay OCP to run the police put them in a position to foreclose on the city.
Corporate Feudalism, cyberpunk dystopia style. When "privatization" means that eventually a handful of corporate monopolies run your entire life. Less 1984 and more Brave New World.
China is getting creative with their land grabs. They are building a bridge in Montenegro that Montenegro can't afford. When they default on it, China is going to claim swaths of land there.
"...if Montenegro is not able to repay China's state-owned Export-Import Bank on time, the bank then has the right to seize land inside Montenegro, as long as it doesn't belong to the military or is used for diplomatic purposes."
How a Chinese-Built Highway Drove Montenegro Deep Into Debt
It's the same thing in several places in Africa, China is leveraging their construction and labor to put other nations behind the 8-ball and force them into giving up territory.

Cartoon from the 1970s still relevant today:

I wish you ignorant people would stop using communist/communism so freely. we aren't turning into a communist country; we are turning into a totalitarian country. If you understand we have a de facto one party country
This 100% but people want to hang onto their old ideas of "left vs right" and "good guys vs bad guys" because it validates their personal beliefs. What we really have is a ruling oligarchy and then the other 99% of us who are divided on which flavor of shameless oligarchy we like best.

"This is a communist country" is an easy sound bite and I know why people do it. But sound bite style argument is doing more damage than good. It's the way to win an election. It's not a way to save a country or create a new republic or destroy the enemy.
Shhhh they just want simple answers that are false.

See I'm into this response. :cheers: Like or dislike a quote based on its content, not who it came from. People are so beholden to their preconceived notions that they will start with "who said it" and work backwards from there to decide whether they agree with it or not.
Anyway, back to the memes.

No, when was this "loved by y'all" as you proclaim? I'll wait for your proof, moron.
And to Marx, he advocated guns for the proletariat to rise up against the bourgeoise.

Yes, it's so hard to google a string of text and see where it comes from.

Yeah my old account was "americanrealism" from several years ago.
Remember when y'all loved this quote until you found out it was Marx?
