Eh, it's a matter of investment into the technologies required for bulk space transport. Infrastructure like space railguns (basically a really long Hyperloop section that points towards the sky to shoot payloads into space) are feasible today (and China is researching them already: https://newatlas.com/space/china-railgun-spacecraft-orbit/ ), and more out-there ideas like space elevators are a matter of time. In order to reach full communism without strip mining the entire Earth, getting resources from lifeless space is essential. That will require lots of people in space.

The interesting thing to see at this time is if China can show another way to sustainable population management. Capitalist countries seem intent on shrinking their overworked populations into nothingness. South Korea's birth rates have only decreased further, even as their population keeps shrinking.

It will be a challenge of the century to see if socialism can fix this crisis where capitalism clearly hasn't.

I certainly hope that, as China improves living, working, and social conditions, that birth rates rise back up to replacement rates or higher. That would cement the superiority of socialism and prepare the world for the population required to expand into space across the solar system.

For a truly accurate estimation of deaths, you have to calculate 1,000+ years into the future for all the children that would have been born if the Communists didn't exist.

Therefore communists have killed infinite people.

Yeah, it's the only way to get any papers post-2020 other than traveling to the nearest college library. You just paste the papers' doi in the search box.

Its been invaluable for my own research papers.

This project is amazing and arguably even more ambitious then scihub. Their goal is to get their entire library onto IPFS (basically torrenting for webpages) so that the library is impossible to take down and so users can self-host the Nexus client.

TLDR: Hezbollah is the main force preserving Lebanese sovereignty, and was the main group who freed Lebanon from former Israeli occupation. Far from being an Islamic extremist group, Hezbollah actually fights against Salafi jihadists like ISIS (who the US and Israel funded and assisted).

The US also used the China Initiative against white, American chemist Charles Lieber, whose chemistry prowess is second only to the scientist here. Lieber is now also looking for opportunities in China.

The anti-China shotgun blasts are hitting even non-Chinese scientists and pushing them to go go China.

Download all your favorite music locally, and back it up so you can keep it forever.

You can use tools like MusicBrainz Picard to add proper metadata to all your music, and use fully-customizable music players like MusicBee to perfect your listening experience.

They're not made by Motorola (which is Chinese). They were made by Gold Apollo (which is Taiwanese).

To be specific, the original Motorola company split into Motorola Mobility, which is owned by Lenovo and sells phones, and Motorola Solutions, which is American, sells telecommunications systems, and definitely does work with Israel.

This was a really hard lesson for Hezbollah to learn to always buy shit from certified anti-imperialist sources and not from fake China. China should airlift Huawei devices to Hezbollah to replace them.

On the other hand, the Axis of Resistance has never had a better excuse to annihilate Israel in response.

This is a much more severe, successful repeat of what the US tried to pull against Lula in Brazil, with Bolsonaro as puppet. The new, US-backed president of Ecuador is now trying to change the constitution to allow US military bases in the country.

It seems that in reaction to the Latin American pink tide in the 2000s, the US pretty much backed and funded the entire conservative wave afterwards.

For more info on how this relates to similar events in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and elsewhere, BadEmpanada made a good recap here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrvEha9C_Js

I'm pretty sure killing the Russian president (and likely his cabinet, which would always be nearby) is plenty of justification for nuclear war.

I'm sure if Russia bombed the White House and the president, nukes wound start flying immediately.
