Interesting development. It used to be that developing countries want to attract as many foreigners as possible to stimulate the local economy with their strong currencies, now people are even fed up with American tourists.
The governments and corporations want to attract tourists and foreigners. The working classes generally do not. This same dynamic has been witnessed basically in every tourist hub. "Developing countries" are not a monolith
There would be no poverty in a hypothetical socialist republic and no ability for any group to vote any other group into it. Old geriatrics just cannot be trusted to govern selflessly
It's so easy for him. Literally all he has to do is talk to the world leaders the rest of western media pretends cannot be talked to
I really do not understand the compulsion within old people to destroy the world on their way out. These are people with grandkids who won’t let go of their wealth and power and are fine dooming their own lineage out of spite
Voting power (in a hypothetical socialist republic) really should be pro-rated to remaining life expectancy. Those with skin in the game’s opinions matter more than those on the way out
Just put them in work camps or tie their work visas to their employers discretion for indentured servitude. They need the migrant labor, they don’t need to treat them fairly or pay them well.
Yeah Bob Vylan probably blew up in popularity from this
Nothing more punk than buckling to advertiser pressure
This mentality is why China has no reliable allies and is extremely anti-human and cynical. No wonder they pissed off the USSR and Vietnam and isolated themselves if they think like this!
to be an electoralist lib and have no imagination outside of that is to live a truly doomer existence. If you actually believe the only way to change things is to 
but it never does anything, like honestly just give up at that point
It's like the other side of the coin of being an ultra leftcom that believes there's never been an actual socialist revolution in history, despite hundreds of years of socialist organizing and efforts. Like I would just end it all if I really thought that and believed that, why even be a communist anymore if you think it has a 0% chance of ever happening
I mean, they hinted at why. While China cannot afford a Russian loss, it can afford a Russian stalemate. Moreover, the longer they are in a stalemate, the longer the U.S. focuses and commits resources to that stalemate and not towards China.
The flipside to this is that the longer the stalemate goes on, the less Russia will be able to aid China in its upcoming and inevitable conflict with the west. Does China want a reduced and lesser ally that has been fully exhausted or a strong and capable one? Yet another short term self-own
The DPR is now part of Russia and has tons of socialist-aligned people
now that's a show that disappeared into the cultural blackhole. Not seen anybody mention nip/tuck in a decade
