Molt desafecte amb l'estat espanyol. Els lerrouxistes se'n poden anar a pastar fang. Buscant l'apatheia. Blocat pel Sala-i-Martin.

So, inspired by @adam_tooze , I am dipping my toes into economic history (always fun), working with Soviet trade statistics from the 1950s-1960. Check out this table I compiled. This shows that 1) The biggest importer of Soviet oil and oil products in 1959-60 was... actually…
“US popularity collapses worldwide -China now more popular worldwide than the US -Israel emerged as the country with the worst global reputation" The 2025 Democracy Perception Index canvassed more than 110,000 respondents across 100 countries. politico.eu/article/usa-po…
Not sure people in the US realise this - the bubble shuts out all voices - but there is a swelling, global wave of revulsion against the US. Never seen anything comparable in my life
#OtD 15 May 1943 the battle of Sutjeska began when 127,000 fascist troops launched a massive offensive on the 22,000 Yugoslav communist partisans. It was unsuccessful, and instead marked a turning point for the resistance who were later victorious

Would the world be a better place had Constantine lost the battle of the Milvian bridge?

The crucial battle of the Milvian Bridge. Crucial for Christianity. No Milvian bridge=no Christianity as a state religion, and perhaps as religion tout court.
Today 315AD The Arch of Constantine was finished & was commissioned by the Senate to celebrate the victory in 312AD of Constantine I over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge. Its Situated between the Colosseum & the Palatine Hill. Its also the largest Roman triumphal arch
A good analogy. What Marx called "the hired prize-fighters".
Neoclassical economics is closer to theology than to science. Neoclassicals are modern priests serving the wealthy. #Economics #Neoclassical #Religion #TheBestOfAllPossibleWorlds #Neoliberalism

Rep. Randy Fine called news of Palestinian starvation "Muslim terror propaganda" and told starving civilians to "starve away." This is the same Congress that keeps voting to send billions to Israel to continue their genocidal war. Where is our conscience? End US complicity.
War weariness and #Trump affinity for #Putin may lead the ukrainian army to collapse. Meanwhile the #EU establishment still thinks #Ukraine can win the war. #Madness #Russia #Zelensky #UkraineRussiaWar
If people are out protesting now, it's not because they admire and support NABU and SAPO, let alone the privileged anti-corruption NGOs. It's because this spark makes it permissible to express pent-up anger at Zelensky, his team and daily grotesque, in-your- face corruption. 6/7
Confusing moment for Ukraine fanboys/-girls in Europe: they so adore Zelensky and insist that Ukrainians want no other leader, they cheer Ukraine as some shining star of EU-ness, and now Ukrainians are in the streets because Zelensky has done sthg the EU says is a deal-breaker
Zelensky has signed the bill into law — despite pressure from ongoing protest and the EU. A very dangerous moment for Ukraine.
Vietnam has replaced China as the major source of US imports for many simpler manufactured goods.
