➻ Tuvieron una red internacional de partidos comunistas alineados ideológicamente.
➻ Tuvieron armas nucleares y capacidad de disuasión global.
➻ Tuvieron décadas para experimentar con distintos modelos de planificación económica.

🤡 Y con todo esto no pudieron lograr ni un solo caso de éxito del Socialismo. Qué les hace pensar que ahora, que ya perdieron todo ese poder, lo lograrán.

The Soviet whaling fleet killed 180,000 whales between 1948 and 1973, delivering rotten carcasses that nobody wanted to eat. Soviet citizens had zero demand for whale meat. The ships hunted anyway, fulfilling quotas handed down from central planners who counted tons of dead whale as economic output.
This was bureaucratic box-checking that nearly drove multiple whale species to extinction. Soviet whalers targeted endangered right whales and humpbacks specifically because they were larger, helping them hit tonnage targets faster. The meat rotted on deck during long voyages back to port, where officials dutifully recorded the numbers and sent reports to Moscow declaring another successful harvest.
Central planners measured success in tons harvested, not consumer satisfaction or long-term sustainability. Factory managers got promoted for exceeding whale quotas, regardless of whether anyone actually wanted whale meat (they didn't). The feedback mechanism that normally connects production to human needs had been severed entirely. When bureaucrats replace market prices with administrative targets, you get mass slaughter with zero purpose.
You still see this today every time politicians promise to "create jobs" in industries that lose money year after year. When government agencies measure their success by dollars spent rather than problems solved. When university administrators chase enrollment numbers instead of student outcomes.
Remove the profit motive and price signals, and you get 180,000 dead whales rotting in the sun while commissars celebrate meeting their targets. You don't get rational planning.
Socialism is fundamentally destructive to the environment and inevitably leads to ecological disasters.

As a Soviet historian who has spent years writing about the extreme, repressive control Soviet Communism exercised over its unfortunate citizens, I find it really hard to bring a similar accusation against the Labour government and Keir Starmer.
But I’m finding it increasingly difficult to avoid that conclusion.
We have no Gulag or death penalty, admittedly, but what Labour and the old Soviet regime do have in common is the arrogant belief that they alone hold the moral high ground and that this entitles them to the total control over all those who do not share their worldview.
And like the Soviets of old their tools of control are the same…
- legislation and co-opted courts and civil service to apply it
- the policing of dissent, by hate crime orders, arrests (@glinner), the long term seizure of electronic appliances (@CF_Farrow) to intimidate even those against whom no charges are finally brought.
- controlling free speech (12,000 arrests annually for social media posts in 2025). George Orwell’s ‘thought crime’ persecution has become a reality under Labour.
- framing dissent (the Unite the Kingdom participants) as racism and far right fascism (Stalin started that in the days when Labour was his captive party, the 1930s, and ‘fascist’ has remained their favoured mantra ever since)
- attacking and weakening the family (because the family is so often a place where small ‘c’ conservative values are transmitted down the generations), including the promotion of trans ideology to confuse children in their understanding of the roles of men and women, mothers and fathers. In their eyes women can have penises and ‘heteronormativity’ must be ‘smashed’.
- education, wrested as Marx decreed, from the middle class (private schools and VAT), and used as a vehicle for the state propagandising of children and youth at their most vulnerable age.
… and much more.
In short, I can reach no other conclusion. Under Labour, Britain is becoming a repressive state which is, incredibly, echoing the very characteristics of repression that any former resident of the Soviet Union or its satellite states would recognise today (and they do and tell us so)
And with every opportunity Keir Starmer has to rein that in, he instead doubles down. Month by month things get worse.
This is 2026. I can’t believe what I am seeing. Or what I’m saying. But, yes, it is going on. And only a majority government of either Tories or Reform (and I do have reservations about both) of a coalition of two can reverse this.
… or we are sunk
🚨 RESPECT ORDERS - You don’t need to break the law to be criminalised in Britain. You just need to annoy the wrong person.
The government is pushing through something called a Respect Order, part of the new Crime and Policing Bill now moving through Parliament.
Respect Orders are civil, not criminal, so they don’t require a jury or criminal standard of proof. Just someone saying you’re causing a nuisance, even online!
If someone complains, that you're too loud, too disruptive, too opinionated, you can be banned from:
▪️Posting on social media
▪️Attending a protest
▪️Speaking in a public place
▪️Even entering certain areas
All without ever being charged with a crime. And if you break the order?
well … that’s a crime. You could be fined, arrested, or jailed for up to two years.
It’s pre-crime policing and It’s about control, not safety. It’s a ban on dissent.

Age verification is being used as a Trojan horse to force people into their totalitarian digital ID system. They also want to restrict children's access to alternative viewpoints and stop them thinking for themselves.

David Grusch explains that the U.S. government knows that UAPs are operated by non-human intelligence and has collected decades of data, including recovered materials and craft, but much of it has been restricted and hidden within isolated programs.
"There’s truly anomalous signatures in the skies. The US government understands it represents a form of sentient non-human intelligence."
"And I want the American public to be comforted that the universe is teeming with life, it seems, and readily, you know, able to be explored. And the US government does have a lot of information that I think will inspire Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the American populace at large."
"It will be a new era. It'll be a little uncomfortable. There’ll be some truths that will be a hard pill to swallow, but I think it’s ultimately a good thing to get this out there. I think the people, the world, and the American public will be very happy to understand their place in the universe, so to speak."

C'est dingue ce qui se passe mais personne n'a l'air de s'en inquiéter plus que ça.
Actuellement, les 19M de données administratives piratées à l'ANTS ont certainement été achetées par d'autres puissances étrangères ou le seront prochainement...
On se réveillera probablement trop tard en pleine campagne présidentielle quand des candidats à l'élection, des membres de leurs équipes de campagne ou encore des proches seront victimes de pression, de doxxing, de ciblage...

Things age verification achieves:
• Violating adults' privacy online
• Creating leak and hack-worthy databases with tons of personal sensitive information
• Censoring the internet as a whole
Things age verification does not achieve:
• Protecting children online

Meta spent a record 26.3 million dollars lobbying in 2025 and quietly funded a group called the Digital Childhood Alliance to push age-verification laws.
The real target appears to be the App Store Accountability Act and similar bills.
These laws would require Apple and Google to verify ages before anyone can download any app from their stores. That means every game, banking app, fitness tracker, and productivity tool would face new checks and costs.
Social media apps from Meta would be exempt.
The result is a huge compliance burden shifted onto the app stores while Meta avoids the same rules. Public records show heavy lobbying, fast-created advocacy groups, and funding ties that raise questions about who is really behind the "child safety" push.
Full open-source investigation with 47 documented findings from lobbying disclosures, tax filings, hearing transcripts, and more is now available.

This is going to way further reaching than any of us can imagine
Metas push for age verification is global
This investigative document alleges that Meta is engaging in massive lobbying efforts to ensure that the recent tightening of age verification measures does not burden its own company. Based on publicly available information, it is well worth reading. What lies behind the slogan "To protect children" should be revealed.

Meta is pushing hard for new age-verification laws.
In 2025, Meta spent a record $26.3 million on lobbying in Washington and employed more than 86 lobbyists in 45 states.
They also quietly fund a group called the Digital Childhood Alliance that appears to be a concerned-parent organization but supports these same rules.
A large review of nearly $2 billion in grants from the Arabella Advisors network found zero dollars going to actual child-safety or age-verification projects.

All my career as a game designer has reinforced the truth that it’s better to create a game design to appeal strongly to a specific audience, who obsess over it rather than a broad appeal game that no one really hates.
My experience is also that the best way to create that “obsession” is to make the game you, the developers, are excited about.
It’s how we did Call of Cthulhu, Civilization, Doom, Age of Empires, Cthulhu Wars, etc.
In other words: appeal to the whackos. Be a whacko. Hold nothing back.
Everything that comes down from the managers is designed to dilute and weaken your game, so strive to counter it as much as you can.
Anyway. That’s my take.
