A few years ago you could've said exact same thing about BYD and Tesla.

I expect most use of 6G will be focused on stuff like robotics and IoT as opposed to phone networks.

It's becoming clear that the EU has no actual leadership. It's just a bunch of grifters.

It's very revealing how casually liberals spit out populist as an insult. The derogatory use of the word unmasks their real conviction that majority rule is only admirable when the majority thinks like them. Strip away the varnish and their ideal is not democracy at all, but a stewardship by the enlightened elites who keep the unwashed masses at bay.

Exactly, they act as a pressure relief valve for the system ensuring that public anger doesn't boil over into meaningful action that threatens the ruling class in any way.

I'm sure the regime is thrilled to have thousands of new volunteers to send to the front.

It’s telling how quickly liberals leap to AOC’s defense while downplaying the atrocities she enables. They preach 'principled' human rights rhetoric, only to treat genocide as just another political bargaining chip. Moral bankruptcy has never been so transparent.

It depends on what aspect of theory you're interested in.

For introductory material, I can highly recommend Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti. It's well written, and gives a good overview of socialism in a modern context.

I thought these books discussing socialism in the context of China were pretty good as well

For an intro on the modern economic theory aspect, Geopolitical Economy Hour with Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson is pretty good
