If Ukraine loses war, it will be 'end of Western hegemony', warns UK's Boris Johnson
  • Even so, the presence of a capitalist world hegemon is the biggest factor stifling anti-capitalist movements at the moment.

    Even if the end of US unipolarity leads eventually to unipolarity for another capitalist power, the transition period in between these two situations will have a higher revolutionary potential and can prevent another capitalist world hegemon from ever emerging.

    This meme will always be relevant (for the foraeeable future at least)
  • This is too broad a topic to have any meaningful discussion on in a comment thread, but I'd start with a few things:

    1. Are you looking for new perspectives, or are you looking to debate? The former implies you're willing to change your stance, the latter does not.
    2. Define "capitalism", "communism" and "good". As a minimum to starting such a discussion, everyone participating should be on the same page regarding the topic, but these are terms that have wildly different meanings for a lot of people (not so much on this instance).
    3. Pick a specific theme to discuss - what do you support most about capitalism? What is your greatest issue with communism? Anything you're specifically interested in? As I said, it's a broad topic, so in order to have any constructive discussion, it needs to be narrowed down.

    In recent interactions with the Danish state, such as applying for residency permits, a Taiwanese’s nationality would be listed as “China.”
  • The risk is that other EU countries would adopt similar policies and create long-term problems for Taiwan and its 24 million citizens to freely determine their future.

    More like create problems for the US to freely determine Taiwan's future

    Serious question though, can it still count as self-determination? Afaik the pro-reunification/pro-PRC side has been suppressed for decades, especially at the start of the occupation, and Taiwan is constantly bombarded with anti-PRC propaganda, all thanks to the US

    If we pretend history doesn't exist and we do what libs did e.g. in Gaza assuming it all started on Oct 7, then sure, people want to separate from the PRC, they should do it

    But this ignores how they got into that position and what "independence" entails (becoming another Ukraine). You get pushed into a direction and then you're made to think you got there of your own accord
