No she was fleeing the current regime, the one that beats women to death for showing their hair.

No evidence of this.

Only if you ignore the IAEA, how nuclear reactors work, and the fact that none of the uranium enriched in Iran is used in their one nuclear reactor (they use uranium imported from Russia for that) because it's not suitable for civilian use. You don't enrich uranium above 5% when it's for civilian use, LOL.

Belief in at dictatorship of the proletariat and "the state will wither away" and all of the nonsense around how capitalism and imperialism corrupted science, etc.

The biggest famines in history weren't caused by natural disasters, they were caused by weirdo ideology.

If you had specific questions on how things worked, then you might be able to learn something. You're not going to learn anything by through snark.

Economics is a whole field of study. You expect me to teach a University class in a web forum thread?

You're choosing narratives over listening to experts. I'm not an expert on economics, but I've learned enough to know that best case leftists are grifters, and worst case they are true believers that might actually try to implement economic policy without consulting with experts.

I guess we'll need to wait and see on Mamdani.

You can have a universal healthcare system run in a socialist manner because both supply and demand are really warped when there's patents and people's lives on the line. But within the same country you could still have private businesses. And you can mix and match, having sectors partially solcialist and partially capitalist (subsidized industries, government procurement from private industry, regulations, etc.).

Capitalism like any tool needs maintenance (so does socialism) but there's precedent for trust-busting and Keynesian economic policy.

The problem is everyone wants some silver bullet solution so they can vote once and all problems are solved forever. That's an immature understanding of economics. It's a whole field of study, economics is a complex area of study, and both the MAGAs and the leftists refuse to to even try to understand it. It's like watching children argue over CPU architecture just screaming things at each other over something they have no understanding of while the wealthy laugh at both groups.

Well he's a corporate socialist (wanting a system for the benefit for corporations) similar to Xi Jinping (who Trump admires). But fascists call themselves whatever will get them power, so I guess Trump calls himself a Republican and Xi calls himself a Communist. So use what they label themselves or choose your own labels.

Communism is when authoritarians impose socialism for weirdo ideological reasons. Libertarianism is when people want capitalism control every sector of the economy, also for ideological reasons.

Both are stupid.

GENEVA, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Friday it had opened an investigation into several employees suspected of involvement in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel by Hamas and that it had severed ties with those staff members. "The Israeli authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7," said Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General.

"To protect the agency's ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay."

Lazzarini did not disclose the number of employees allegedly involved in the attacks, nor the nature of their alleged involvement. He said, however, that "any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror" would be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution.
