Cute article but they use the decrease of human height as metric to explain deterioration of human conditions under capitalism when it's pretty clear that capitalism enables shorter people to live long full lives and make short babies, something that isn't even mentioned in the conclusions

Capitalism is good because it enables more poor and malnourished 'short people' to live longer lives. I am not brain damaged

you could've spent one of those posts explaining how Russia would've kept conquering Europe after Ukraine had its independence guaranteed by 3 NATO countries specifically and the rest of the EU as well instead.

I feel I should clarify I don't think they would be successful in conquering Europe, that's just what people on state TV said they were gonna do.

You know, because their military production is, in fact, intended to enable them to conquer and invade.

Corruption and institutional rot IS capitalism

So yes I agree that towards the end, Communism was infected with capitalism and it was fatal. How much you can divide 'the west' from 'capitalism' I don't know. They might be the same thing but split between heaven and earth you know?

Just lol at that one guy who waltzed in here to say the UK is somehow not an invading country like Russia when just in the last century they deployed troops to NI, a relic of their prior colonialism, genocide,.and ongoing occupation. I guess to people who think using "orc" as shorthand for Russians the Irish aren't on the same level as the noble Anglo-Saxon.

If you want to view "corruption" as "resources redirected away from their intended goal and into someone's pockets" then profits are just institutionalized corruption.
