Mixing up C and S, leaving out articles, confusion of simple present and present progressive tenses. Hmm these are common English errors Russian speakers make.

The author portrays an evolution of social and economic theory that passes from Marx to Weber to Foucault. In other words, Marx without Lenin. The tactic is diversionary rather than disinformative. Insofar as you will discuss Marxism, it will be in the context of critiques of Marx made by academics operating in capitalist countries. I don't mean to say that Weber's or Foucault's theories are entirely wrong headed, just that as long as you are occupied with them you will be ignoring the strains of Marxist theory that have underpinned any actually successful Marxist political project.

If you want to pick nits though, this passage made me squint:

Democratic government was the result of a political revolution of a new class-the commercial and industrial capitalists or, as Marx called them, the bourgeoisie.

Here the author is stating without citation that Marx believed democracy was achieved by bourgeois revolution. Big if true. Perhaps a certain kind of democracy within a certain class? Where did Marx make this claim?

The Kagan-Nuland connection is strong.

This, but without the irony.

Sure, but I'm usually wrong. I think it's likely that the RUAF will try and make a buffer zone out from the Belgorod and Kursk borders. This will have to include Kharkov City.

Every day for over two years now, comrade. They changed the name of the mega, but that's mainly why I'm still here as well.

The Avdeevka offensive kinda kept going since then, and went further than many of us were expecting. The RUAF pretty quickly took an additional ring of villiages past Avdeevka, then even more surprisingly took positions in the next ring of villages out from there. The AFU is managing to defend at that second line, but has been steadily conceding small amounts of territory there for a few weeks now. A similar situation is happening in the other villages surrounding Donetsk City generally. It seems like the overall objective of the RUAF in that area is to finally create a buffer zone around Donetsk City to protect it from artillery fire.

Other that that, the RUAF has been making small gains to the west of Artyomvisk, and even smaller gains in the area the AFU carved out in Zaporozhia during their summer offensive. The AFU's defense in the northern parts of the front lines has been more effective, with some back and forth there.

Everyone seems to be expecting something big from the RUAF this year, but I am not going to try and make predictions. There have been some other developments in the Russo-Ukrainian not directly involving the front line. You didn't ask about that though.

Wow this is very interesting. I had no idea this was going on.

Yeah the deal is supposed to be that they get US military support against the socialists, and the US gets all of the downstream industry for their raw resource extraction. What the hell are they thinking? If they get away with this, it'll be a very big deal.

If that’s the case, then it looks like they succeeded.

Вызов was pretty good tho. Mostly because of all the actual zero gravity scenes. Plot was meh.
