Yes and no. I think a lot would depend how familiar the person is with communist theory and current events and history to say if it is in line or not.
For me it was in line it the sense that I know how market oriented things are there but the more specifics on how state control/direction (as it was called here) work are new to me
Thanks for sharing this! I like how it goes a bit more into details than a lot of what is available on policy
I appreciate the effort here. One major flaw I see in your argument is ignoring historical context. You point to the CPC being very wealthy and owning a large amount oy stock and businesses and use that to argue other parties should too, but you leave off the how and why the CPC owns so much. It wasn’t as you argue others should do, by out competing capitalists, but rather due to their actions after their successful revolution. I’d suggest elaborating more on this to see if you can reconcile some issues in your proposal. Additionally I’d consider how capitalists are trying currently to do what you suggest the communist parties do, to essentially buy out all competition.

A quick scan of the article makes it clear what they mean here:
A political party with an armed wing
Looking at it through that lense it isn’t a terrible take but a gross oversimplification of Hezbollah
I use whey isolate. It is a bit pricy as you’ve mentioned but the convenience is hard to beat.
If I had to go without it would be lots of beans, tofu, and seitan for me since I am vegetarian.
Have you read Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed yet? It isn’t quite what you are looking for but covers the revolution itself from a first hand account
This very much reads like the whole “China is weeks away from collapse.” Every once in a while there is some fear mongering over the Treasury and bonds. This also coming from the Heritage Foundation is rather convenient with their call for fiscal responsibility and measuring the decline as being 3.5 years in the making.
While a US collapse would be good for a lot of the world this is clearly a political ad for Trump and project 2025. As in don’t get your hopes up of anything meaningful happening
Yea most in train stations and gas stations the toilets cost 1€ to enter, the gas station ones usually give you a ticket for the value that you can use to discount whatever you buy
You’ll probably be interested in this theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_civil_religion
Having grown up there I don’t inherently disagree with this idea
For the exercise if you can add a bit more it could help with getting tired when you want to sleep.
Yea like I said I understand the diet one might not be possible to change much with that.
I suppose pen and paper could be part of a winding down routine. Maybe spend a bit of time before bed writing down anything on your to do list or on your mind. It might help with falling asleep easier
All this might sound like a lot but you don’t have to be perfect on day one and have to find a thing that works for you
Sounds like a reasonable plan and since you want a stricter schedule that makes it a bit easier. I’ve got a few more questions:
I’m assuming you are looking to be asleep by 10 or 11 to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. I’m on a similar schedule. Usually I’ll quit gaming at 8 pm on Sundays to be sure I am winding down by 10ish. I also try to only have coffee in the mornings most days as it’ll stick with you later than most people think.
What is the exact problem you are trying to solve?
Like do you have to get up at a certain time and find yourself staying up too late so getting little sleep? Or is it something else, like you can get up kind of whenever but the sleep isn’t refreshing?
One would be allowed but I can already envision the Fox news freakout if this was about Trump instead
Yep, I remember those, but a key difference is those weren’t for sale in a chain store and limited to some niche sites
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism
In journalism, yellow journalism and the yellow press are American newspapers that use eye-catching headlines and sensationalized exaggerations for increased sales.
They have some cosmetic similarities and share some congepts but there are even more differences, especially in regards to how they operate and are engineered. So the ak 47 isn’t really based on the stg 44 so much as they resemble each other a bit and are from the same time period
I’ll reply to both of you here. Luxembourg isn’t quite a microstate by most definitions but is indeed small.
On the public transit, the free is very nice, the mediocre service is less nice. Other less nice things is that they are focusing on building more roads and less on better public transit networks(tram extension is nice though), so I rank it as moderately good in that sense when compared to other countries and their public transit networks and mobility plans.
As for why it isn’t going full renewable there are a few reasons and could probably go into much more depth but only 1/4 of workers in Luxembourg have nationality there, the others are a mix of cross border workers(France, Belgium, and Germany), EU citizens who moved there, and 3rd country nationals. Only citizens of Luxembourg can vote for the government(EU citizens can vote for EU parliament and all can vote for municipal elections) and they tend to be a bit more conservative. Additionally land is super expensive so that is a barrier to renewables. What I will say though is there is an increase in it with a goal to hit 35% renewable by 2030 and there are quite a few wind turbines but, I would doubt it will get hit with the CSV being the primary party in government at the moment.
In a pinch this is a viable strategy, particularly at stores and restaurants. They often throw out still good food.
