      Is Russian inflation really low? On the ground level (as in “how much I can afford for X money this year Vs five years ago”) it doesn’t feel like it

        The ruble just hit a 7-year high against the dollar (although that is mostly, I’ll admit it, mainly because the dollar is doing very poorly). But still, inflation in Russia is, at the most, not high. The effects may not be that noticeable on the ground, but when multiplied to a geopolitical scale, there is an effect.

      Is there even a single actual anti-capitalist socialist in the federal government? Even so called ‘socialists’ are just milquetoast social democrats.

        I believe Cori Bush is a genuine hide-your-power-level socialist… she’s spoken at PSL organized events IIRC. Everyone thought AOC and Omar were just hiding their power levels too before they came out in support of overthrowing AES states, though, so idk.

          I think she was instrumental in extending the eviction moratorium once, so at worst she’s done more good than a vast majority of American politicians.

        I could grimace and give it a pass if he then called Germany “far left.” But idk. Maybe don’t kowtow to colloquialisms if they’re intensely stupid Mr. Twitter Man

      Beware, comrade. If you stare too long into the liberalism, the liberalism stares back into you.

      • The infuriating part is that it’s so fatally stupid that you suspect they’re just fucking lying to everyone and it makes it so much worse. Cause what if he is genuinely sincere and serious?

          If he really is sincere and serious, we need to very frightened – it’s a case of self-induced stupidity so great it can twist the fabric of space of time.
