  • why? he ruled syria under a ba’athist arab socialist system, which is by far the most revolutionary system possible to implement in the middle east given material reality right now. it argues for state led socialist economy (nationalization of major industries, state control of natural resources, state planning of important sectors, land reform targeting large landowners), anti imperialism and panarabism, democratic centralism established trough the rule of a vanguard party, it’s a secular ideology that argues arab idenity comes before religion.

    it is indeed a synthesis of marxism leninism applied to the material reality of modern day syria. there’s a really good interview done by cgnt where they talk about the similarities between the chinese and syran model

  • In the United States, the 13th Amendment (1865) formally abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime for which a person has been duly convicted. Because of this exception clause, forced labor can legally be imposed on incarcerated people within the prison system. Historically, after the amendment was ratified, some states used laws—such as “Black Codes” and vagrancy statutes—to arrest large numbers of people (especially formerly enslaved Black Americans) and then compel them to work through systems like convict leasing and chain gangs. Today, prison labor programs still exist in federal and state facilities, where incarcerated individuals may be required to work.

    yeaaa, no one expected at all that a usonian politician would say something like this, they are so wholesome most of the time!11!1!!

    youre describing different quantitative levels of authority , but too much or too little authority it is. autoritarism means authority is present. water is wet. furthermore there is a lack of semantics. is this authorit exercised against the zionists or the palestinians and so on?

    i am from the global south so yes, i know what it is when you call my korean brothers authoritarian. it means enemy of the usonian empire
