People in Georgia have been protesting everyday for over a year (406+ days) but for whatever reason it’s not currently getting much media coverage likely because the media tends to not report on reoccurring protests.
There’s more information about the protests on the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024–2026_Georgian_protests
Basically they’re protesting due to election fraud, democratic backsliding and protesting against pro-Russia policies, they want to be aligned with the EU.
Bring back the Soviet Union (starting in Georgia)
Russia is falling apart, maybe after the next collapse you’ll learn that only weak people want authoritarians to rule over them. Or maybe you’re deluded into thinking having authoritarians rule over you will make you equals somehow?
When will Russians stop being so stupid?
I think ideologies are for the intellectually lazy. Different solutions are optimal for different problems. People thinking free markets for everything just want one simple solution for all problems they don’t want to think about which solution works best for individual problem. Same goes for people that that socialism for everything. It takes effort to find different solutions for each problem, so the intellectually lazy gravitate towards ideologies that claim one solution will solve all the problems. That’s never worked because it always winds up with telling an expert in a field they have to do things in a stupid way to conform to ideology.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Well I think that the people should own the means of production under a market economy (as long as no one’s getting hurt) - that’s how I’d describe libertarian market socialism which can be seen as a revisionist-type form of socialism (or a variant of Mutualism).
Right… so what happens after I have to sell my shares to pay my rent? Or maybe my company does really well and your company doesn’t. My company is successful enough to expand, but fuck that, I’m not diluting the share value by hiring more employees that would get a share in the company. Or maybe new employees don’t get shares? After I retire do I get to keep the shares in the company? Is it legal for employees to sell the shares in the company? What’s the value of something that’s illegal to sell?
If there’s less demand for the products my company sells but still enough demand that the company could still function, but with fewer people, how is it decided which employee loses their jobs and which continues to be employed?
The “owning the means of production” thing isn’t actually feasible. When socialists that promise that get into power they invariably redefine the definition of that. Ultimately there’s going to be people that are making decisions that impact other people. Call it wealth, call it power, you either have someone calling the shots (and hopefully that person is fair) or you get tragedy of the commons everywhere.
Are you a social democrat or a democratic socialist?
Didn’t I tell you before, ideology is for idiots.
