  20.  @marijnnn4992  I think they still call it the British Commonwealth. I see they now call it the Commonwealth of Nations. Commonwealth is kind of an archaic term. A commonwealth is similar to a republic but it's OK to have a monarch as long as you have an elected legislature. That's what I see they all have in common. I think this dates back to the Orange Revolution where the English Parliament went to war with Charles I and killed him with the intention of abolishing the monarchy in the UK. When Parliament reestablished the monarchy they also established a new balance of power with basically unlimited powers to legislate and in fact to recall and get rid of any future monarch by majority vote. Commonwealth originally meant something like public good. The monarchy did not give up its lands and wealth so it retained its own but at the same time Parliament could also run its budget for "the public good". In reality the difference between a true republic and a commonwealth is private property rights and particularly mineral rights associated with private land ownership. From a PR point of view, republic harkens back to the Roman Republic and "commonwealth" harkens back to the Orange Revolution I already mentioned. And some US States fashion themselves as republics and others as commonwealths. The Commonwealth of Nation implies that the overarching group has some collective sovereignty on its own and this is because many of them have on paper the British Monarch has having some kind of role in the nation's existence.

  51. You guys have to get over these "war" risk tropes where you're trying to see if Henry V would dare to march against Charles I d'Albret. The goal of every Marxist regime is to both trigger chaos and confusion and at the same time look for revolutionaries to topple all regimes or governments taht fail to submit to what Lenin called the (Communist) Vanguard Party. WRT CCP goals in "war" (some overt use of their military) is to "defend its rights" as if to carry on with these fictional stories of colonial oppression and deprivation (including Taiwan's existence) and the entire "South China Sea" as well. These all represent "deprivation" casus belli stories. They don't have to win any war or battle in order to win increased hegemony and recognition over their bogus claims. They want control over the entire South Chine Sea and submission from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and so forth. You think the US made up "Domino Theory"? LOL. The part that they've already achieved is that they have loyal factions in nearly every Western democracy on the planet that don't even try to hide the fact that they think China can do anything that it wants to until it achieves "equity" with respect to Gross Domestic Production per capita with the USA. This means that in theory their macroeconomy can grow 4 times what the US reports before anyone can ask them to knock off the slavery and the predatory espionage and so forth. They can't not afford to change their tactics unless they decide to abandon Leninism (single party rule by Communist "councils" and a supreme leader). The most precarious thing about the CCP is the numbers. They're "successful" only for a small elite group and the masses must be kept tightly in check. One false move and the people of China itself will throw out the Communist regime.

  52. This has been obvious since Obama's last year in office. Trump upset the Communists and made them even more fearful of the US. This is why the Communists immediately joined leftists around the world to attack Trump's Presidency with all of the political corruption they could muster. They've been donating to the Clintons since the 1990s and there were helpful in Hillary's Presidential campaign including all of the agitprop against Trump before and after Trump won. Until today, actually. But in terms of "geopolitics" all Marxist regimes rely on total control of their populations and "means of production". When "central plans" start to fall short they must have fallback plans to boost economic output and, just as importantly, reduce hegemony of rivals. The end goal is one consolidated "means of productions" under "Communist Vanguard Party" control. This is what Lenin described as "New Economic Policy" shortly after he found he needed to explain to all of the Russian revolutionaries why Communist Utopian would not immediately follow their total political control over Russia. But anyway, every overtly and covertly "Marxist" regime since then (this includes any regime that sees "evolutionary theory" as requiring regimes to get bigger and bigger through consolidation with eventually only one global regime left as ruler) has used military expansionism to control land and energy resources to fill in dips in GDP growth. But again, the critical thing is not to "get rich" or "compete". They have to maintain the facade of "progress" while at the same time making sure that they only ever rise in hegemony and putting rivals out of business. China wants Taiwan for this reason but this is only because they are a juicy target nearby and the near-term goal is to establish sovereignty over international waters as "exclusive economic zones" for China. They want to defend the "South China Sea" as if this is just a fact through international law that it belongs to China. This is far more important than taking direct political control over Taiwan. If they make war on Taiwan and everything goes well, they will take as much as they can. But the real plan is to create a casus belli that is repeated throughout the global institutions start a big war, and then withdraw in the name of peace, but they will not give up control over these international waters that they have already claimed.

  96. Right. But people don't seem to understand what the Russian Communists began to do between the first Russian revolution and second and how they responded to the end of WWI. Do you realize how many "Islamic terrorists" went to college in Soviet Russia? So, many Islamists believe more or less that the critiques of "Westernism" are valid and at the same time they think that the Communists are "useful idiots" of the Islamists while Communists believe the reverse theory. That is why OBL was our good friend when he fought the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan while at the same time, when suitable, he targeted enemies of the Communists as well. And used Marxist Critical Theory dogmas to justify his actions. All in the language of what we call "Liberation Theology" when it springs up in the Western world. OBL also rejected his own Saudi government once it shunned him to defend the Saudi Kingdom from Kuwait. He saw this as a "lack of faith" and an insult to OBL's own bona fides. If you need arms to liberate yourself from any nation that holds real elections you might want to question your own beliefs before you start useless wars. Especially if you never even once try to negotiate with lawmakers and voters over whatever your dispute is. But your bottom line point is critically important. All of these "liberation" and "terror" movements favor the CCP now. They used to be skillfully cultivated and directed by Russian Communists. The CCP while pretending to embrace "free trade" stealthily took over all of it. On every continent although the CCP and Mao were always masters of Communism in Asia not counting the eastern side of Russia.
