The types of information processed includes names, dates of birth, gender and ethnicity
A section marked: “type of personal data to be shared” by police with the government includes various types of criminal convictions, but also listed is the age a person first appeared as a victim, including for domestic violence, and the age a person was when they first had contact with police.
Also to be shared – and listed under “special categories of personal data” - are “health markers which are expected to have significant predictive power”, such as data relating to mental health, addiction, suicide and vulnerability, and self-harm, as well as disability.
I didn't think it was possible for me to hate a country this much. On the bright side, this will reduce trust in the police as people begin to catch on that literally having contact with the police could have you marked for life.
The problem for Iran is that
- The US wants to invade them ASAP
- No member of the imperialist bloc will conceivably help Iran in the near future
At best, you might have a back and forth of missle exchanges between Turkey and Israel that the imperialist bloc works to de-escalate (just like it did with Iran last year)
Letting the US make the first strike against the EU or Canada (by acting on their annexation fantasies) would certainly be the correct option. The Chinese strategy here is correct to try to pry the EU away from the US.
However, why would this apply to Iran? What greater level of aggression does Israel have to display before the middle eastern comprador states somehow decide to side with Iran against the west?
In fact, the comprador states going to war with Iran to defend Israel would be a catastrophic error for them on a political level. It would be the PR equivalent of the EU deciding to help Russia in their campaign against Ukraine.
Furthermore, the US is actively gearing up to go to war with Iran, which places a severe time constraint on this strategy.

This is how the article is signed off
Trump is not reviving economic planning or industrial policy with his tariffs. Just because the US needed to re-industrialise, and just because protectionism would have been part of any re-industrialisation policy does not mean that Trump's policy is not phenomenally short sighted.
The simple fact is that without imposition of
- Maximum import quotas (differentiated by good)
- Capital export controls
- A strong welfare program
- An expansionary fiscal budget
- Nationalisation of key industries
It is practically impossible for the US to re-industrialise. And each of these policies is critical because
- Import quotas can directly limit the quantity of goods coming in unlike tariffs which have huge distortions effects and have a difficult to predict outcome
- Preventing the outflow of dollars prevents people from cheating Import quotas or tariffs. Preventing the outflow of machinery allows that to be invested in your country.
- This is needed to create a workforce that is actually healthy and smart enough to fix the economy.
- This is needed to run your economy to its physical limits rather than artificially created financial ones.
- This is needed because re-industrialisation requires the bourgeois class yo give up on a lot of profits, so you need to take control of industries away from them.
The ideological forefathers of modern Communism (Karl Marx, Engels, Max stirner, freurbach) were German materialists would would be considered too radical on social issues by 90% of western "socialists". Some of these Mfs straight up didn't believe that morality was real.
Marx would probably look at people injecting hormones and ask for some samples to experiment. Engels would be excited to study advancements in gender theory (my goat practically founded the field). Stirner would try to open an only fans, and somehow end up going into debt.
