These people are even dumber than I thought. If a country forgoes its currency, it lacks a serious tool to trade with. It’s why any nation wanting to be recognized as sovereign has a currency. In theory, like most Marxist philosophies end up being, you can have a cashless society, but value will still be attributed to various objects, and used for trade instead, which makes it act as a currency. Gold will likely be valuable in even a cashless society because of its many uses, and the fact that it doesn’t tarnish easily.
Cuomo was the spoiler. He lost his primary. Sliwla won his. Cuomo and Mamdani share 99% of their policies; their only real difference is which client groups they support. The city would have continued to decline no matter which Democrat was elected.
The DSA members believe that but their voters only care about ethnicity.
I hate 'money'. I hate the idea of a 'store of wealth' that's also the 'method of exchange' that's up to market forces. But it's reality, and there's no better system. Even with Star Trek replicators there'd have to be some way to distribute works of old art or something. You can't have more than 1 original Mona Lisa to give around.
Everything he said was stupid almost. It drives me nuts most 'lists of non-religious figures ever) has him at top. I guess maybe, but they don't say how bad it is. Look into his ideas on early man.
There’s a whole subset of history called “Marxist history,” which has an extremely binary world view. There always has to be an oppressor and the oppressed, with little room for nuance. About the only thing it’s useful for is helping make the study of the common person’s life more popular, instead of focusing on the “great man” history. You can also just be a social historian for that (without having to abide by Marxist ideology). I remember having to learn about it in a masters program once, and found it incredibly flawed. You have to take out a lot of historical context for Marxist history to make logical sense, as it often fails to acknowledge the people that would be considered “middle class” or don’t neatly fit into the worker/bourgeoisie dynamic.
The main problem is that Marxism, to me, focuses entirely on a very brief and localized system. Feudalism, as the historical boogeyman, which nobody really cares about anymore. It discounted mercantilism as any benefit, and then goes on endless about the bourgeoise as the enemy. The funny thing is socialists always bash targeting groups, unless it's the groups they target as pure evil. Class, white men, billionaires, doesn't matter. They always have to have a boogeyman.
For me, it's the local Olive Garden. Packed into the family car with dad driving and mom resting in the passenger seat. The kids anxiously kicking around the back. There is a powerful bonding on the way to that Italian eatery. The whole family uniting in a singular quest. Tonight we dine. Pulling into the enormous parking lot, the atmosphere begs to be absorbed. A Macy's mall in the background, and a Red Lobster across the street. All of this is of course framed by the beacon that is the Olive Garden restaurant itself. A community staple in fine dining. A plump line has already begun winding out the door, groups of 5 each huddled around their remote buzzer. Occasionally a cry will go out as a vibration comes from the electronic device. A scream of joy. That family has been chosen. They cry tears of gratitude as a virginal waitress brings them swiftly into the eatery. Passing only the finest arts from the Mediterranean. Frescos and bottles of wine from local vineyards. Sinatra sings softly over the built in speakers. Large tables enjoying only the most quality pastas and salads. Taking a seat, a calm washes over everyone in the group. This is just so right. So perfectly correct. It's as if they had been transported to Naples as they pushed their chairs up to the table.

Wait, I have seen that movie
Mamdani indicated that he is currently in "active dialogue" with the city's legal department to determine if he possesses the formal authority to direct the New York Police Department to detain a visiting foreign leader.
Don't think he has the guts.Ver archivo adjunto 9289776New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated his intent to pursue the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upon his expected arrival for the United Nations General Assembly in September — The New York Times
Do it, Mamdani! I want a joint Delta Force/Mossad strike team to bust into Rikers and rescue Bibi.
He has zero authority to actually do it, and would probably be grounds for removing him from office if he tries. It’s an immediate international crisis if he attempts itVer archivo adjunto 9289776

It'd probably result in a total disaster for him but no one could deny his bravery or stupidity if Mamdani went through with it.
I want him to do it and for Mossad to Munich him.
People always overlook what actually caused Elliot Rodgers to become and incel psycho. It wasn't that he was a hapa or that he was an incel. It was that he was British.
So what's the plan once they get him in cuffs? The feds control the airports and coast guard would lock down the waterways, so good luck getting him to the Netherlands. Also arresting a world leader on official buisness in the US on warrants from an unrecognized foreign entity is absolutely unfathomable and anyone even remotely involved would be absolutely fucked legally assuming they aren't hanged for treason for acting against the US on behalf of a foreign authority.Ver archivo adjunto 9289776

Alright @Fatpacks your behavior during Torbunker comfy hours was absolutely atrocious, even the lads at the FBI field office are roasting you in the group chat rn, you're not allowed to come to the glowie BBQ today, sorry not sorry
Fatpacks is like that herpes or supposed girls' turkey tom gave fungal infections to. He won't go away fully.
