  • That last sentence is a mixed economy system, which should probably be the best, current way of doing things. Taking the benefits of each successful economical system. Yes, communism was successful in converting Russia from am agricultural-servant nation to an industrial powerhouse. Also, communism didn’t collapse by itself, the USA made everything they could to boycott it, and they still do because they are afraid of it. They are perpetrating their own silent genocide in Cuba, just to ingrain in our brains that communism is sentenced to collapse.

    iDK what the lady in the comic and her friends did in their past, but this Cornell case is pretty blatant. To start with, the idea of fraternities is very stupid from an outsider point of view, rich kids having each other’s backs is not a good idea, with their family and personal connections. Very American stuff. Then the drugs, which bear death and blood, Americans just can’t grasp it, how their recreation and fun implies violence and death on the poor, which is commonly a racist activity.

    Then the rape does not come as a surprise. Drugs and a life of privileges and a sordid education about blessed individuality. A girl gets kettamined, all alone in one of this houses. It may have some nuance in the sense of consent, but it is clear someone drugged her with a criminal intention. Probably all of them knew.

    But this comic is very problematic because it’s not clear what happened to that lady in her past. Was she gangbanged under ketamine with her friends by seven frat boys? In topics like rape, you don’t just assume things lightly.
