Libya Superthread

Forcing India to harbor that fugitive?

That affects his selection how? The CIA didn't pick the Dalai Lama, they don't coach him on his message, and to insinuate that they do is both absurd and insulting to Tibetan Buddhists and Buddhism in general.

What do you mean things have gotten worse? The Chinese Economy is exploding and they'll probably end up either passing up or becoming equal with America in 10-15 years. In fact, China will be in a very good position soon. If only becuase of their MASSIVE working population. As long as they don't pass any healthcare or unemployment subsidies (Paying for 20 million is hard, paying for 200 million...) they should be shooting off.

I like to think it's like Stalin is doing in Victoria II. China was moping around for a bit, then they Industrialize and they're kicking everyone's ass in no time.

Why would the USA need to put a CIA puppet in Tibet? Whats the logic behind that Che, you really crack me up sometimes.

They are in support well that's what the president of China said of it and also the Chinese economy is now slipping.

was that sarcasm?

I doubt it.
Hey, Ezra! What Che said is laughable, but not for the reasons you think it is.

It really doesnt matter whether or not Tibet is independent. What matters is if Tibet is controlled by the workers or the bourgeoise.

That's such an utterly useless way of looking at things. As if people are really defined by the labor they perform... What comes first and foremost is self-identification, and I guarantee you no one thinks of themselves as a dirty Prole before a Tibetan.

It seems that the proletariat industrial workers are being replaced by farmers and low paying civil service jobs.

As for POLITICS its all that matters.

I wouldn't say politics are even in the top ten things that occur upon an evaluation of the self, but labor certainly isn't either. It's just so narrow-minded and blind to just assume that labor is the defining characteristic of a man. It's an absolutely dystopian principle.

Well this is disgusting.. colonial interests determining the future role of Libya and Russia's helping NATO? Nah I'm not for that, fuck that.

Viva Ghadaffi, don't need imperialist dogs next to Egypt.

1) So a hyper-Islamic and most likely a militaristic one will be just great?

2) Either the rebels will take over and have another dictatorship, or they'll become democratic. Like the now democratic Egypt. It wont be worse than now unless NATO lands ground troops.

Rather have a monster next door than ten.

If anything it would be a puppet state, and since Egypt doesn't have much oil if any I don't think even the most aggressive of neo-colonialists, which America isn't with the election of Obama, would target Egypt as long as they don't mind the Suez.

Yes because history has shown you should trust European/Americans. :?

Keep one hand shaking and one hand on the doorknob, basically.

This Napoleon quote summarizes what's essentially happening in Egypt (specifically what's happening to Mubarak and his whole family, even though he resigned peacefully):

Among those who dislike oppression are many who like to oppress.
-Napoleon Bonaparte

I get the feeling that the rebels aren't so humane as they would like us to think.

Whereas I love oppression :lol:
