Hamprince is right about Brazil's government being extremely corrupt, and it goes all the way from the Brasilia down to the local municipalities.

An advantage which Hong Kong has already lost since China has opened up massively to the global market. Lol at aspiring to make our country more like Singapore.

If the UK democratically agreed to nationalize all industry & corporate assets without compensation, you can bet on the prior owners lobbying & propagandizing for foreign intervention. They wouldn't even need to wage war, they could just as easily arrange for sanctions or blockades and such until conditions stagnate and they capitulate to their demands. A new regime coming out of revolution might be a sufficient condition for foreign fuckery but it certainly isn't necessary.Karl Barks posted:people talk about how reformism can just be rolled back via capitalist class seizing power again via democratic or non-democratic means, but can't revolutionary governments be rolled back as well through counter revolution or "reformism" from the right? hello and welcome to the ultra left.

In the event of a possible socialist electoral victory, the army would simply declare a state of crisis and pull a coup, and the civil service/deep state would simply declare it legal after the fact. Either the socialists have their own paramilitary wing to enforce their claims, and win the resulting civil war (i.e. you get a revolution), or you get a Pinochet. You seem to be working under the delusion that right wingers respect the rule of law or will of the majority - they do not. They will happily discard the very idea of the consent of the governed, in order to maintain the power and wealth inequalities in society. Look at all the Trump people excusing foreign interference in the US election. Had the Russians interfered in favor of a democrat, they would be screaming bloody murder. Yet, these very same 'patriots' shrug their shoulders at the Trump fiasco right now. Why? Because they're hypocrites. Don't take their banging on about law and order at face value, its a matter of convenience.

Skullface's plan was stupid but English killing other languages is definitely a thing and I wonder if humanity survives until the next century there will be only like twelve language blocks left.

Plutonis posted:Skullface's plan was stupid but English killing other languages is definitely a thing and I wonder if humanity survives until the next century there will be only like twelve language blocks left. The more cultural interaction there is across groups, the less likely there is for deviations in language to develop and the more likely it is for language to formally consolidate. Even just within England, there used to be a massive dialectical diversity in terms of how people spoke English, which severely narrowed with the development of radio, film, and television. It isn't necessarily an imperial-subject interaction, but a sociohistorical development of common cultural touchstones. The fact that it is largely a legacy of colonial relations is simply an unfortunate fact of our own development as a nascent global civilization.

TBH i think its more likely that English just fuses with another big language or two than replacing them all gradually. Its already full of a bunch of French and German words. And a lot of people I know speak some kind of spanglish. My great-uncle married this younger chinese chick, who's son is hilarious because he sounds like a character from sleeping dogs

That's why I'm saying "blocks". I could see for example Portunol becoming an actual widespread dialect in South America for example.
