I definitely second that, specially if it avoids the usual Northern obsessions like the USA electoralism, Ukraine war and the "Free World" to focus more on the rest of the world in depth. If I may propose some suggestions, there could be a rule where every post needs to have some brief summary/preface of the article written by the poster to make it easier to moderate out liberal spam and unreliable headlines. Right now c/GenZedong is acting as the de facto world news.

I can't cite concrete examples off the top of my head, but some hypothetical ones for economics would be going beyond the fundamentals of Marxism to apply it to how some specific section of the economy operates (i.e. software development, clothes, food) from a Marxist lens, and for sociology it could be dissecting the material and social relations in existing sections of society (i.e. slums, suburbs, metropolitan areas, prisons) or comparatively between societies (those in Brazil vs USA vs Cuba). Those sound good for developing a "deep" understanding.

I think the issue is that the possibilities are very vast, but it quickly becomes both less accessible and harder to produce, as you need solid a understanding of both Marxism and the specific subject (and a lot of effort) for either writing it or understanding it. Considering the prolewiki is inspired on wikipedia, I'd say that the place for "advanced" materials is usually the linked sources and references and that's usually way less accessible to a lay person. I'm not sure if the website would be the place for "in-depth analysis of the dot-com/AI crash caused by venture capitalists" or "origins of metropolitan homelessness" for instance, but that's usually what I think of as advanced. Though I have my biases there, as I'm generally not a fan of staying only on the safe bet of philosophy.

If it comes to that, he'll probably just get prisão domiciliar for health reasons or he'll flee to the USA like the old Olavo de Carvalho. Doubt any elected party will put in an effort to fight those options either, in order to save face.

Oh yeah, I it was already weird for people to excuse her (lacking) political worldview when she was 16. Makes even less sense now. But from a social aspect, it's important to remember that she's still a rather young neurodivergent woman in a political environment that usually doesn't receive either of those, despite liberals claiming to be so progressive. I mentioned her age there only because she's surrounded by people who might have twice her age so it's natural for her to look out-of-place. So many comments against her person (and not her bland ideology) can at best fail to take this context into account and at worse be malicious.

It's always best to take care with that and be aware of it. I really wouldn't enjoy people assuming they can read my body language in a picture for instance.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean to say you were criticising her appearance or anything of the sort. It's just that us brain weirdos tend to look weird in pictures (and out of them) in ways that might look like some kind of "body language" to the neurotypical observer. Even "normal" people have that happen to them a lot too. It's generally hard to parse such things from a picture, which is why I felt like pointing that out.

Wait but how would the USA intelligence officials get information on these bases? Do they have secret spy bases in Cuba and China? We may never know.

I think we should be really careful with this kind of comment. Assuming things from the body language of an autistic teen in an official picture with old government officials, even if they're a counterproductive lib, is really not fine IMO. There's plenty to criticise about her and her actions without going there.

All of those were Putin, didn't you know? He personally delivered the depleted uranium as the True President of the USSA.

Wait isn't it imperialistic to impose a foreign language on your population and administration under marshal law?

As for mixing climate activism and the Ukraine war, I’ve actually seen quite a few speeches and contributions by climate-focused orgs on peace demonstrations outlining the absurd damage of militaries and this war specifically on the environment. It is possible to combine the two to make genuine anti-capitalist, anti-war points. She simply chooses not to.

Fair point. I guess what I tried to say there is that the war (and specifically Ukraine continuing and eventually winning it) is rather tangential to fighting the climate crisis and an odd cause to put in your famous climate organisation behind uncritically. Imagine being so European that human lives are less relevant than "holding Russia accountable" on damages to local ecology.

Southboi here, yeah she isn't. Only people who even bother talking about her are terminally online fascists. Or just silly memes. At most the defence for her is against people demanding human rights abuses against her, bigotry, lies or stuff like that, not her movement. Sadly the internet is hosted in the North so we gotta learn these Swedish unpronounceable names to debunk imported nonsense conspiracy theories sometimes.

Ah yes, war in Ukraine, very relevant to the climate crisis. I think she's gone the "Neil de Grasse Tyson way" of being famous for a thing and just hopping onto whatever is tangentially related and popular right now. Disappointing, but what would you expect from lib group that thinks they invented striking, and have no tangible demands? She's not relevant and the only reason libs think she is is because she's a white European who obeys the law. Go ask what they think of the (still very mild) Extinction Rebellion.
