I wrote yesterday that the Western media misrepresented Putin's four and a half-hour report to the Russian people, answering their questions about events in 2024—making it seem as if he was just talking just about the SMO and military matters—and addressing them — the West.
This is the answer to the death cult of depopulation that has arisen from the climate change nonsense. Russia and China develop and improve regardless since they believe in themselves. The west deindustrializes and loses all faith in forward movement.
1. Regions, where there is some usable form of Social safety net (pension, comprehensive health insurance, unemployment benefit etc.) have a decreasing population (when you remove immigration).
2. Regions where there is NO Social safety net have MASSIVE growth (and deaths). So, parents create MORE kids, as a guarantee for their old age, illness or disability.
The Narrative-Matrix (👑Empire-affiliated Propaganda in the WESTERN MEDIA) tells us that we need to increase births (or immigrants...) to support the elderly... Sounds nice, but...
In the same Media i read that AI will remove a lot of Jobs... So we can use those who lose their jobs to help repair our safety net. And when we stop waging wars, all those soldiers and weapon producers can do the same.
OK.
What is the cost of a safety-net for poor countries ?
That is $2,= per person per day.
When we stop producing war and weapons and missiles for that, we even save too much...
Well then... think about major engineering works (like China does):
1 example...
Build a Dam in the Gigantic Kongo river, produce electricity and collect water in the middle of Congo.
So either a channel or pipelines powered with the electricity can bring water into LAKE CHAD and bring it back to its size 60 years ago (it will take some months or years).
The Sahel, West of Lake Chad is dry. There used to flow a river from Chad lake through the Sahel and North to Tunisia, where salt reservoirs remind us of that time...
The driest region in West Africa can then become a fertile land.
You are creating a definition of a Great Leader...
He or She should be able to see those opportunities and not only colonisation of Mars...
The good name of socialism - and communism - was sullied by the totalitarian states that tried to implement it through force. As one American commentator remarked - fairly enough - Stalinism was "super-fascism". Even so it might have worked had it been run by perfect humans. (Pause for riotous laughter).
While we are stuck with the Mark I Human, we need a little more subtlety and flexibility. Today's Russia and China seem to making long strides in that direction.
The main difficulty is that "primitive" socialism is the way that all small communities have tended to organise themselves - but their methods don't work for millions, let alone billions. In our huge societies, amoral con men and women can easily take over. In a village they would be known for what they are within a month, killed or expelled within a year. In a modern nation, they can fool most of the people most of the time - and get away with it. That's why the toughest job in any government is stopping corruption. The Chinese do it well.
By and large, Western governments - especially the USA and the UK - don't even try. Corruption is rarely mentioned because it has been legalised, institutionalised. Instead of being reviled as enemies of the people, oligarchs are adored and loved.
Julian, your reference to Adam Smith, 'Wealth of Nations', is misplaced. Smith's Oligarchical capitalism was the foundation of the Globalist Empire of Money, the British and Dutch East India Corporate Cartel.
Smith's Wealth of Nations alleged that wealth came from the Aristocrats titles to property.
The opposing theory came from Alexander Hamiltons American Revolution, the Architect of the American System, that declared that wealth came from the 'productive powers of labor' not from ground up cheap labor, the legacy of the British Free Trade slave system.
See Alexander Hamiltons Three Reports to the U.S. Congress.
Capitalism operates on a spectrum, like autism, which has the whole human race on its spectrum. There is malevolent fascist capitalism, benevolent fascist capitalism, and laissez-faire capitalism, as the three main capitalism milestones, the laissez-faire one is theoretical, and if it exists, only in the underground economy.
Good parents practice benevolent fascism on their children. The parents keep the power and use it with love to raise their children to not need them by the time the children cross the age of consent. These parents work towards making themselves obsolete as parents and their children independent and free as adults. Good governments are like that, benevolent fascism capitalism is the parenting bridge to lead to laissez-faire capitalism for the citizens, it is not the final destination, because if it is then its only a matter of time before malevolent fascism takes over the authority structure. Capital can buy the structure you know, and repurpose it for slavery.
Personally I support and respect no authority except my own and God's along with any higher agents He certifies, and I haven't seen any of those here on earth. But I acknowledge the power of those on earth with authority, the same way I acknowledge the power of cancer, and handle their said autistic authority accordingly, doing the best I can to preserve and improve my personal freedom.
In the modern temporal world personal capital provides for the personal choices that can be made and that improves freedom. And who doesn't like freedom? But those who pursue money as a tool to gather power and authority over others are slavers to be avoided and resisted. When ordinary people in the world come to understand that they need to own their own authority and their own money in order to be free and that good government is merely a benevolent fascist stepping stone to get to that point then civilization will become acheivable. Until then we can continue to flop around between good cheiftans and bad cheiftans like we always have been doing since we sat around the campfire listening to our witchdoctors while we were clothed in loincloths. And we don't have clubs anymore, we got nukes now, so ...
Great comment. Capitalism really IS on a “spectrum”. Of course, all forms of “capitalism” depend on the existence of “capital”— which did not exist for the first 50, 000 years of human existence. The variations you mention all involved dominance systems —that systems by which some human beings control others.
China is the rock star. Russia is so traumatized by WWII and the Break Up/Destruction of the USSR, and alas, all those proxy wars, and only 185 million folk, and the racism in Russia, so so sad.
In case you cannot wait for the official English translation of Putin's Q&A, Karl Sanchez published his own in 3 parts on his substack:

Thank you Ismaele!

"There are now more Ukrainians in Russia than there are in the country of Ukraine".
Until most of what remains of the country of Ukraine becomes part of Russia. Then they can return and still live in Mother Russia.
Don't be lonely Julian.....cuddle those adorable cats.

Wow. Your post is an article in itself! In the West we are taught “great leaders” win wars. In reality, great leaders win peace.
Thank you...
I have a blue T-shirt with the text:

I cannot think in headlines, like most people do.
But i like it->https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GfpLWK1XQAA_J73?format=jpg
You can and what is more, i understand your headlines better than those of most others.

We are very social creatures , with cats too.
To think that capitalism ignores this aspect for personal wealth as the expense of the” public” is why it fails into anarchy.
Socialism is really misconstrued into political nonsense enhanced by confusion .
Our leaders don’t listen, don’t think, and don’t speak words with meaning to our social sense at all.
They have to lie to convince us “it’s all for our own good”
