Vance’s elevation to vice-presidential candidate should be prompting far greater alarm among the institutions and “responsible people” that anchor the American establishment.

Please explain yourself.
Several top Russian officials have plunged to their deaths from windows in recent years, including a top oil executive and a defense official.
From walking into a teen dressing room to joking about his obligation to sleep with contestants, Donald Trump is a storied pageant creep.
The video is worth a watch. It actually doesn't argue that all vegans must be anti-capitalist.
Instead it's a take-down of a video of a popular vegan influencer arguing you can't be both vegan and anti-capitalist.
James C. Scott traveled a sparsely trafficked road. As he goes to the other side, I imagine him crossing in defiance of the traffic light.
There's a similar extremely visible movement in Barcelona. Tourism has always been a soft version of colonialism, but in Mallorca, Menorca, Formentera, Ibiza, Barcelona, and Valencia, it does double duty. These regions are economic powerhouses for Spain, but they're former autonomous societies that were conquered and colonized by the Kingdom of Castille.
While traveling there you're likely to meet people who speak Spanish, German, English, and French out of necessity to communicate with tourists, but even speaking Spanish in these areas is an insult to their autonomy. The native language of Mallorca is Balearic Catalan. If you go to the Basque country and don't speak the Basque language, you're going to get some pushback. There's a similar independence movement centered in Barcelona but popular throughout Aragon, Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands, and assuming the people you meet prefer to speak Spanish adds another layer of colonialism on top of the tourism.
ACT V SCENE III
Milwaukee. A room in the convention.
[Enter TRUMP, Veep, and Attendants]
TRUMP
Bring me no more reports; let them fly all:

!PleasantPolitics aspires to be a place where people can have good faith discussions about politics without interference from trolls and assholes. 'Unpleasant' doesn't mean merely having different opinions from conservative Democrats. Creating an echo chamber was not the intended goal.
Use this one weird trick to get free energy from your old smoke detectors!
I don't believe you've actually read the article. It's not that long.
You seriously think an opinion article from the Guardian is arguing people should vote for Donald Trump?
The donation record has 20yo Crooks' address, not 69yo Crooks' address, so that's not likely. I don't know why $15 makes him a secret democrat, when there's so much more evidence he's deeply conservative. It shouldn't be an issue.
Thank you! To me his first words after being shot were much more iconic than even that fist-flag-photo.
I'm not a Marxist, but I know that what Marx believed changed over his lifetime, expressing new ideas in his letters while rejecting old ones, and removing and altering sections of his works in later editions. So being 'Marxist' doesn't necessitate incorporating all of his ideas on authoritarianism. Typically the Marxists I meet do philosophically adapt to new information, though admittedly in many parts of the world 'Marxist-Leninist Thought' is a canonical set of ideas meant to be memorized from a textbook.
people’s unwillingness to admit that the Soviet Union and CCP weren’t just “unlucky” attempts
To claim the USSR was inevitably authoritarian ignores the nature of the revolution that created it. The Tsar was defeated by a coalition of groups, which in turn were cannibalized by the authoritarian Bolsheviks. There is no guarantee that the result of that battle royale would end with Lenin the victor. It's an erasure of the Black Guards, the Krondstat Navy, and the Makhnovshchina to name a few.
No-one is claiming the PRC was an "unlucky" attempt. Mao admired some aspects of anarchist thought, but he and his comrades based their revolutionary goals on the already existing Soviet state.
