We're going to get the shock doctrine again and again until the end of history, while the global south is left to die
Lmao, completely. Nothing will be blamed upon the total failure of the political system to do anything but funnel money upwards.

Ok, but like, how great would it be if the global south, led by leftist movements in South America, used the power of collective action and communism to survive and become the last ones standing as capitalism collapses? a person can dream, right?
climate change is going to strike the Mediterranean and the US West + Mexico the hardest
it's not perfect but it's a start
What are you talking about, we're already at the end of history :so-true: :so-true: :so-true:
