The palestinians also did not have a national sense of self untill they were occupied for the better half of a century … The german national identity needed Napoleon to really take of (and many more work Like that )

And ‘mono ethnic states’ was bog standart for emerging nationalnstates - it just took some.places longer to create a national state and the according nationalism - hardly anything specific about ‘the slavic mind’

Well they had the downside of the russian army being at their borders and a massive russian speaking minority …

Havent tried out zorinOS but so far i never hat problems running games under Linux : steam + proton experimental just makes it as easy AS downloading via steam and hitting the play button - literally die nothing else (have used Linux mint first now Debian - Debian required a bit oft fiddeling for steam but not with individual games)

It is literally impossible for a Child to consent in such a Situation so she cannot habe Been willing . doesnt excuse her behavior since but still worth pointing out

Funny - bis Argument is : ai is built in human collective knowledge thus wie should participate in the profits and … Give it all to americans

Dont get me wrong i like the sentiment - but seems like it comes down to - ai was built by THe collective knowledge of all humans - the profits should go to all americans

So you truly believe that the dprk is in fact democratic ?
Oh and btw. Just cause a country has elections doesnt mean it isnt a monarchy

And yes the Kim family only receives a wage … They arnt different from regular people - they just habe certain priviliges that noone else has - linke Sendung your children to private schools in switzerland - totally the same as a ricefarmer

So … What would you discribe the country AS ? A country with an extremly poor pollpulace (which used to be Richer than south Korea btw) in which one family always gets to decide who is in power ?

A country which errects walls arround itself to keep people in ?

I dont habe to rely in reports of all the human rights violations - just the fact that apparently i. A country of millions only one family gets to rule says a lot

I will never understand why left leaning people feel the need to defend a state which is essentially a heridetary monarchy disguised AS communist … ?

you never managed to tell me how the free market was under attack if all companies were worker coops

please explain to me how if every current company was a workercoop free markets were endangered

i dont see why even communism would mean there are no free markets: in the most basic definitiv communism is (economically) a system in which the working people control the means of production. this could e.g. be achieved if all companies were work coops - thus workers controlled the companies and therefore the means of production if we dont change anything else there will still be a free market
