it would be kind of wild to see what america would be like if capital did flee. it's not like we have heaps of factories anymore and we're pretty dependent on imports even for things we'd use to make factories.

We do have heaps of mostly automated factories that can produce stuff at a high level of quality very few other countries can. It's not like we wouldn't be able to still export stuff to import other stuff under a socialist system.

It's like Lenin said
Most of those factories will have to be converted to war production for the task of spreading communism to the rest of the planet. We're not doing socialism in one country again. Maybe I'll settle for socialism in one hemisphere.

the thing about the red guards is that their leader, "comrade dallas," was arrested almost a year ago for illegal weapons, prompting the red guards to launch a "free dallas" campaign. not really sure what came of that.

i don't think he's in prison right now, though. it seems like there'd be info about that if so

He's FBI

“I had a moment at the after-party when I was watching these beautiful and perfect models, who were drunk and coked-up out of their minds and everyone was admiring them,” Nekrasova recalls. “They were like, partying and dancing and lying down on the floor with their thin legs, and I was like, Wow, my life’s okay, but I would literally trade it all — the podcast, Adam, my status as a socialist icon… — I would trade it all to be an extremely hot and relevant model for five seconds. I think that’s probably the best feeling a human being can have. It’s probably heavenly to be desired and frail.”

in that specific context it's a joke but the fact they keep ingratiating themselves into social circles they claim to hate shows there's quite a lot of truth in there.
