The socialist taming of capitalists is a sight to behold. Quite a level-headed response (from a capitalist perspective) to a direct attack from the EU.
Beauty ravaged by fascism.
A lot of that distrust is because a signifcant proportion of the electorate (both Democratic and Republican voters) feel the media is not racist and queerphobic enough. The culture of imperialism, colonialism and bigotry runs deep.
“We perpetuate systemic crimes against humanity but the real crime is in calling that out.”
One of things I have found is that the hubris of imperialism and colonialism means they openly admit their crimes and write it down in their newspapers, books and webpages, and in this day and age video themselves doing the crime. I first discovered this for myself when I was younger reading about British Imperialism against India; they were essentially boasting back to the base that they shouldn’t let go of India in the Scramble for Africa.
This is a thing that exists (and the wikipedia article is written with no self-awareness including no arguments from black communists or any historical context including America’s segregation and subjugation of black peoples being one of the chief inspirations for Nazi Germany):

Reading Chinese scientific advancements is truly joyful and uplifting in this often morbid world.
If one, for example, could consider a universal health care system such as the NHS in the UK can exist in an overall capitalist system then we can consider capitalist mechanisms could exist under an overall socialist system (though it should be noted that markets existed long before capitalism).
How would then one potentially define a system is socialist or not? If the system is not submissive to capital it could potentially be considered socialist. A century worth of data from various social projects around the world suggests that a dictatorship of the proleteriat with a vanguard party at the helm would be needed to have a hope of being more powerful than capital, of which it could be said that Yugoslavia did meet that criteria.
Each nation will have to discover for themselves through scientific application of political economic development (ie marxism) how this could be achieved.

I have read that China is not getting rid of their reserve dollars overall suggesting that countries that want to trade in dollars with China can still do but it can now be done without US oversight or control? If that is the case the “de-dollarisation” effect would be much higher than the trade in the above local currencies would imply?
