BILLY BOB—While proletarian dictatorship develops policies and propaganda based on the best interest of the entirety of the working class, the bourgeois dictatorships decide policy and propaganda based on what is in the best interests of the wealthy elites. In other words, proletarian dictatorship is democratic and wants to further the interests of the masses while the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie is anti-democratic and is solely concerned with maintaining the power and privilege of the wealthy elites.

PRES. VLADIMIR PUTIN—Look, if memory serves me right, back in 1992, the share of the G7 countries in the world economy amounted to 47 per cent, whereas in 2022 it was down to, I think, a little over 30 per cent. The BRICS countries accounted for only 16 per cent in 1992, but now their share is greater than that of the G7. It has nothing to do with the events in Ukraine. This is due to the trends of global development and world economy that I mentioned just now, and this is inevitable. This will keep happening, it is like the rise of the sun — you cannot prevent the sun from rising, you have to adapt to it. How do the United States adapt? With the help of force: sanctions, pressure, bombings, and use of armed forces. This is about self-conceit. Your political establishment does not understand that the world is changing (under objective circumstances), and in order to preserve your level — even if someone aspires, pardon me, to the level of dominance — you have to make the right decisions in a competent and timely manner.

My correspondence with my Representative in the U.S. Congress regarding the Trump-Biden prosecution-persecution of Julian Assange
9 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—I recently wrote to my member of the U.S. House of Representatives asking the Representative why that person’s name was not included among the 16 members of Congress from both Parties who had signed a letter to Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and Antony Blinken, urging the U.S. to cease-and-desist its attempts over many years to get Julian Assange extradicted to the U.S. to face possibly up to 175 years of imprisonment after he has already spent over ten years in prisons in Britain and yet never been convicted, nor even charged, for any alleged crime.
