  • “Cuba has a firm and clear historical position against mercenarism and plays an active role in the United Nations in repudiation of this practice,” the ministry added, according to an unofficial translation.

    “Cuba is not part of the war in Ukraine. It is acting and will act vigorously against whoever, from the national territory, participates in any form of human trafficking for the purposes of recruitment of mercenarism so that Cuban citizens use weapons against any country.”

    The Russian government has not commented on the allegations.

  • How's it with you guys ?

    For me as well. But then I purged the cache and updated ublock filters. And now it's working again.

    It's a race between youtube and ublock, and ublock is winning.

  • that's a graphic representation of china subaltern role and american imperialism. any other interpretation is wrong. ofc, Hegel's Master-Slave Dialectic might happen, but it's not clear it will happen.

  • Christian democracy is perfectly liberal. But of course a liberal cannot find that liberalism itself is the problem.

    that's literally the point of the article... did you even try to read it? "This intrinsic hostility towards democracy has made Christianity and liberalism unlikely bedfellows. Christian democracy, then, represented the European way of liberalism. Politically, both have worked to tame and present a new version of democracy much more restrained in limits, goals, and possibilities."

  • lol, just when the American overlords say so. damn, ukraine has been fucked bad... by the Russians AND by the Americans. this madness has to end. stopping financing a proxy war would be a good first step.

  • stunning 😍 i love it.

    I never heard of Eric Ravilious before. great discovery.

  • Yes, Polanyi was not a Marxist, and literally nobody would say he was. He had distanced himself from Marxism at a personal level after an initial flirtation with it in his youth. Polanyi turned away from Marxism in the years leading up to the First World War.

    Certainly, he was somewhat of a socialist, though his theory differed significantly from Marxism. His theory revolved around conflict, similar to Marx's theory; however, the terms, dynamics, and mechanisms were all distinct. Upon rereading "The Great Transformation," it becomes clear that the second Karl (Polanyi) had deviated considerably from the first Karl's (Marx) fundamental insights on various critical points: the emergence of capitalism, the origins of the Industrial Revolution, the dialectics of commodification, the exploitation of labor, concepts of value and money, class power, and class struggle.

    Some Marxist authors were indeed inspired by Polanyi, as with the already mentioned Burawoy, Nancy Fraser, etc. However, that doesn't retroactively make Polanyi a Marxist. Aside from that, Polanyi was very religious; he converted to Protestantism and remained a Christian for the rest of his life. He leaned much more towards being "communitarian" than "communist".

    edit: https://sandbroo.faculty.politics.utoronto.ca/why-polanyi-and-not-marx/ here's a text with a better explanation.

  • well, I will stop to use YouTube, and that will solve 2 problems

  • Bordiga was a pure genius, but it's quite a difficult read because of his idiosyncratic writing.

    Among the non Marxists, I like Polanyi a lot.

  • mi son sempre trovato bene con TIM. perché non li consideri proprio?

  • why not vivaldi?
