Reminder that "Israel" sterilized black Jews without their consent.

They only think it was a mistake because they lost and the hippie generation got PTSD.

Neoliberalism is a financialized path to austerity and stripping productive industry for parts while disciplining labor.

China has increased investment in healthcare and vastly expanded coverage in recent history.

It would certainly be better to implement a universal system with no out of pocket costs / removed from capital, but this is also not neoliberal.

A pressed sandwich can be great! I prefer the kind wrapped in parchment paper and pressed with weight, myself (cold sandwiches). Or the kind where you just put another (cast iron) pan on top while frying it.

Yes or even shooting themselves/others. It takes knowledge and practice to handle that recoil, especially if, like one of my friends, you are very skinny and not strong.

The good ones have free food. No good jobs, but a free meal is nice.

I feel like we already knew this stuff 10 years ago, it is just having a media moment now because of Trump's flip flopping.

Communists have consistently been skeptical of student movements because of their naivety and class dynamics (usually petty bourgeois). They fall apart quickly, they lack the capacity to seriously organize with a consistent line and are easy to coopt because they rarely have robust leadership or committees to appeal to.

Incidentally, this is the same basic formula for NGO-based protests and liberal false catharsis protests and even many "anarchist" movements (keeping in mind most self-labeled Western anarchists are not serious and arguably not anarchists).

It's not really better most places, including pre-socialist imperialist ones. Those American student protesters made bad deals with admins and shut themselves down when summer started. Many were coopted by petty bourgeois muslim student associations using tokenizing IDpol, then shut down for petty bourgeois concessions.

The place they wanted to go has either a rifle (I assume .22) or handgun training (each 1 hour) but, get this, they promote you renting and shooting anything you want after taking either. So if you take safety for a .22 they will let you rent and shoot a magnum.

This could have been several Estonias of suburban single family housing instead. Never forgive the Soviet planners.

My friends are flabbergasted that a 1 hour gun safety course is not enough and that I said any shop/range that lets you go ham after that is a dangerous place to be.
