  • Ok this is some pretty good Socialism of the 21st Century here.

    Sheinbaum said national maize production will exceed 25 million tons this year, an increase of 3 million tons compared with the previous cycle. That figure was used to support the government’s claim that public policies are strengthening domestic food supply and reducing dependence on external markets. The administration has presented maize as both a strategic crop and a symbol of sovereignty.

    To improve local commercialization, the government is installing Tortillerías del Bienestar under cooperative models managed by the producers themselves. These units are meant to bypass intermediaries and keep more value in rural hands. The program is also being complemented by local factories for tostadas and totopos, extending the chain of community-based processing.










  • NK is the capital of some of the worst human rights abuses, torture, lack of transparency and free press in the world. It’s an authoritarian regime that controls its populace through fear and capital punishment.

    What? These are wild claims. Where are you getting these ideas from? How many people are executed in North Korea as part of this so-called “authoritarian regime”? What human rights abuses, what torture? Crazy things to say about a country that’s also building 50,00 units of entirely free housing in its capital. That’s “goals” to me. Seems like the free housing would be a much more effective way to avoid rebellion than some cartoonish terror regime, don’t you think? I’m a socialist, so in my eyes you get a lot more societal stability from providing for people than repressing them, and that seems to fit all the images from the DPRK much better.

    I mean it’s a state, I’m sure it’s some some bad and unjustifiable things, but to say it’s among the very worst in the world flies in the face of what I have seen. Just such an odd opinion, imo.
