I have to say it isn’t just “muh Rethuglicans” but something that the bourgeoisie in general is doing to teachers and other workers in this country

It is however, worse in Republican states

You have no idea how bad the Republican governments are in these states. The major reason for all of this teacher strife is because the GOP controlled governments absolutely will not raise taxes. Oklahoma has rich oil and gas fields they could get revenue from, but they instead slash budgets. The GOP even rigged their legislature to prevent tax increases, needing a ridiculous 75% threshold to raise revenue.

Crap like that is why these rural states are goddamn shit holes.

don't be a dummy, Dems are objectively better for the working american than rethuglicans

That's like saying tuberculosis is better for you than pancreatic cancer. Both parties are complete dogshit, regardless of which one is slightly less shitty.

what is to be done with brazil, comrades?

What is to be done?

Lula is probably going to jail, and Bolsonaro will lead the polls after it. And the military is ready to take over if the any of the Right's plans fail.

Discuss in english so other anons can join in

Well, that was quick.

Too late, we already fascists, now we have to await for another thirty years to build something,
maybe next time the left will learn and do not make the same mistakes, over and over again.
Santos Dias died for nothing, its hard to day that, but its true.

Tfw tech workers actually do something good.

Good

This is what the “world’s most powerful military” looks like.

So much for the Second Amendment

Yesssssssss

I hope this will succeed. Make class struggle popular again.

This is what we need. For these workers to succeed.

BTW, Trump is still defending this turd because he wants him to replace Sessions as Attorney General.

Trump proposes $100 billion in new tariffs on Chinese goods

WE TRADE WAR NOW

Also, spoiler alert on that last part: there is no way to protect farmers or agricultural interests from this.

Trump will single handedly destroy US imperialism from the inside out. Granted it’ll be replaced by Chinese Imperialism, but that’s a story for another day.

In the Great Depression the American Government payed farmers more to burn there crops than what they would get from selling them in the market. And until the Regan-Clinton neoliberal coup America had very generous farm programs where the Government would buy all the unused grain from farmers driving up the price. If these programs were reintroduced it would more than make up for loss os sales.

America still basically does that though. We don't buy it up of course but there is still massive amounts of government subsidy given to farmers to produce far more than the country alone could ever use in order to keep the prices down. Honestly if this causes price hikes that would be great. Amerifats could lose a few pounds. Also suffering americans is good in general.

Yes, but that's just to help cover costs. Those subsidies won't be much protection against a trade war with China (especially with prices the way they are) unless Congress increases them substantially. Given the recent tax cut and spending bill, that would be a tall order for them.

Also, while we're taking about a trade war, if AMLO wins the election, you can bet your ass that he too will strike at the heart of Trump country.

Subsidies aren’t nearly as good for farmers as government buying grain. Subsidies drive prices down. Government buying grain than burning it drives prices up. Which would help reduce obesity in America.

You tell me. I'm scared AF. Someone please nuke São Paulo. And wherever the hell Bolsoshit lives.

Well that's simply not true.

I mean, maybe they're right in the sense that the Dems will at least use lube before they completely fuck you but the end result is still basically the same, everyone being crushed under the boot that is capitalism. Can't believe there's honest-to-god Democrat shills on here.

For lumpens, yes. For prols no.

What if it turned out they were mixing in leaves with the grain and saying they were burning more than they were?

so hot

Also can someone explain to me what exactly a trade war entails? Why would a trade war even be happening when its more beneficial without it? Or is there some sort of benefit from a trade war?

To put it in context: Trump is immensely worried about the US trade deficit. He is worried that the amount of dollars having to be bought to trade with foreign countries, which he thinks could weaken the dollar long term and puts too much economic power in the hands of the Fed. So he is trying to get it down as much as he can and the biggest place from whence goods are imported? China. So he wants to stop Americans buying Chinese goods and chose steel because A) his working white class voters will like him for that (especially in PA) b) the Chinese are geopolitical enemies, anything to weaken them c) it deals with his trade deficit issues d) under the law he can actually do it.
What does a trade war look like? outside of ramping tariffs nobody knows, there hasn't been a proper one in 70 years.

I tried searching more on this story and I can't find anything. wtf?

He’s more upset about the trad deficit because it’s decreasing American Manufacturing. He wan’t America to produce goods for themselves, not buy foreign. He has good reason to be upset over this. The Ottoman Empire during there decline had a large trade deficit with Europe.

What did ☭TANKIE☭s mean by this?

UHHHH I SAW A over a dozen US military bases in Syria FIGHTER WITH A HI-POINT. HI-POINTS ARE AMERICAN GUNS.

What are you talking about Iraq and Iran also fight ISIS together? Does that mean Iraq isn't a US puppet government either?

Iraq is probably more in Iran’s sphere of influence than the US.

First and foremost, stop the cult of personality around Lula (which is overdue anyway) and get back our class consciousness.

But I mean isn’t it more beneficial for both countries, economically to be in partnership, thereby satisfying both parties? I get that China and the US aren’t friends but I guess I don’t understand the reasons why.

They say a lot of things, maybe a fraction of them ever come true

Liberals: Ban machine guns. Punish more cops who kill black people.
Conservatives: You can pry muh gun out of muh cold dead hand. The blue line is thin my Christian friends.

Liberals: That's so racist!
Conservatives: You can pry my ethnic majority out of muh militias cold dead hands.
