Proletariat Blogging in the Heart of (UK) Predatory Capitalism! Exploring the Interface between Matter and Perception, Chinese Buddhism, Daoism, Hakka Ethnography, and All Aspects of Radical Politics, History, Psychology and Philosophy – 全世界无产者联合起来!
We celebrate 25 years of the inaugural assistance flight that marked the beginning of the Integral Health Agreement between Cuba and Venezuela, a model, exemplary, and unique relationship; sustained by unity and deep loyal, and Chavista friendship. This alliance is not guided by selfish or material interests, but by complementarity solidarity, and the supreme value of cooperation, based on the idea: win-win.
Drawing on data from the World Inequality Lab, the analysis showed that the world’s richest one percent have increased their average wealth by 1.3 million U.S. dollars since 2000, while the poorest 50 percent gained only 585 U.S. dollars, adjusted for inflation. Though income gaps between individuals have narrowed largely due to growth in China, the wealth divide between the Global North and South remains substantial.
“The world understands that we have a climate emergency; it is time we recognized that we face an inequality emergency too,” said Stiglitz, who chaired the six-member committee behind the report.
Much of the wealth at the top stems from “monopoly power and exploitation,” he said, adding that inequality is “not the laws of nature, but the laws of man.”
The Liberator, with his clear wisdom, also revealed to us the formula for victory by assuring that moral virtue and courage outweigh numbers. Furthermore, he left us a powerful statement that we now raise as a banner: “Fortunately, it has often been seen that a handful of free men defeat powerful empires.” In every historical juncture, Venezuela has proven to be the living proof of this principle: the brave handful of free men and women who have defeated the most powerful powers in the world.
The American Imperialists intend to attack the decent, hardworking people of Venezuela who are deeply aware of their own history. Let us continue opening paths together to advance the struggle for the integrity of our respective countries, enhancing political stability, and the right to build our own futures. Latin America and the Caribbean deserve shared prosperity, without tutelage or threats. Thanks to the PT for this call that strengthens the hope and resistance of the free peoples of the world!
We acquired a Venezuelan flag and a few badges out of solidarity. For our children, they are learning the concept of caring for – and standing with – others who live further away – and are suffering a greater tyranny from the capitalists than we currently are. Furthermore, timing is everything and at the moment the UK is not exactly aligned with the blatant illegality that is the Trump Administration. Therefore, at the moment we are “safe” from being attacked by our own government for being Socialist. Of course, things can change in a moment and our peaceful tactics will have to adjust. This must ability must be taught to the younger generation by those who have lived longer and gained the relevant experience. As a lineage – we pass it on. Everything is relative and until the working-class acquires power – we must learn to find what freedom we can within the oppression we are forced to exist. So be it – until there is no more oppression to keep us down.
Korea Post said it will halt sending air parcels and some express mail services to the U.S. starting Tuesday, while keeping premium services, operated via private couriers, available subject to customs duties.
Other countries including France, Britain, Germany, Italy, India, Australia, and Japan, also announced the suspension.
The U.S. media outlet NPR said eliminating de minimis shipments would hurt poorer Americans the most and — presaging the headaches that logistics companies are encountering this week — would be “an administrative nightmare,” citing a report released by the U.S. think tank Cato Institute.
