Prof Wolff explains why China could be the final form of capitalism before societies finally decide to move beyond the fundamental conflict of this system: employers and employees. “It’s at best one kind of socialism to play around with what is still a capitalist workplace. And it’s another kind of socialism that says that workplace itself has to be revolutionarily transformed if we’re going to get beyond the burdens, the flaws and the failures of a capitalism that works for ever fewer people.” – Richard Wolff

It’s far from clear Ukraine would be able to take Crimea back even w/ increased US military aid. Moreover, even if they could, it’s not clear such aid would be in America’s interest given tradeoffs vis-a-vis Asia and escalation risk associated w/ this particular offensive. twitter.com/LukeDCoffey/st…

Replying to @LukeDCoffeyand@general_ben
It’s not exactly defeatist. The terrain favors the defenders and it is the most pro Russia part of Ukraine so the Ukrainian military may not be as welcomed as in other parts of Ukraine. It will be extremely costly to take it back so we may have to place it under siege first.
