Socialism undermines creativity and innovation by centralizing control in the hands of the state, which inevitably leads to bureaucratic stagnation and a one-size-fits-all approach to problem-solving. In a socialist system, where resources are allocated based on political decisions rather than market demands, individuals lack the personal incentives to take...

This is a creation of the political elite in Lagos that have enshrined a culture of violence and impunity. These thugs are armed by politicians and used to win elections, after which the citizens are left at their mercy. What is worse is that the extractive and discriminatory policy of the APC has worsened youth unemployment and poverty, forcing many into drugs and criminality. As long as this party remains in power, this culture of impunity will worsen. They have no intention to build a modern economy that works for everyone but a feudal system where they can share palliatives to communities who kiss the ring. There must be collective action in rooting out these parasitic politicians who leave behind chaos instead of prosperity. #ourlagos

In the pursuit of entrepreneurial dreams, the temptation to aim for the stars from the outset often looms large. Yet, amidst grandiose visions and lofty aspirations, lies a simple truth: success is not predicated on where you start, but rather on the determination and resourcefulness with which you chart your course. This realization underscores the importance of starting scrappy—a strategic approach that prioritizes agility, frugality, and adaptability. Why is it advantageous to start scrappy? The answer lies in the inherent unpredictability of the entrepreneurial journey. In the early stages of building a business, resources are often scarce, and the path ahead is riddled with uncertainty. By starting scrappy, entrepreneurs can conserve precious resources, minimize financial risks, and maintain flexibility in the face of adversity. Moreover, starting scrappy instills a culture of innovation and resilience. When resources are limited, creativity flourishes, and novel solutions emerge from the most unlikely of places. By embracing the scrappy start, entrepreneurs cultivate a mindset of resourcefulness, learning to pivot, adapt, and thrive in the face of challenges. Greatness is not defined by the size of your beginnings, but by the determination and tenacity with which you pursue your dreams. The scrappy start is not a hindrance; it’s a strategic advantage—a testament to your ability to navigate the unpredictable terrain of entrepreneurship with grace, resilience, and unwavering resolve.

Happy 4th of July? Millions of Americans think they’re celebrating 250 years of “freedom” today, but what they’re really celebrating is 250 years of corruption, endless war, and a capitalist system that exploits the many to enrich the few. The uncomfortable truth is none of us in the U.S. are free. We are owned by banks, exploited by billionaires, and controlled by two parties that sell us out at every turn. Freedom is just the illusion they sell to hide the cage and prevent people from ever questioning the dictatorship of capital that controls, exploits, and monetizes every aspect of our lives from birth to death. Where is the freedom when a handful of billionaires [and a trillionaire] hoard ungodly fortunes through the mass exploitation of our labor and the mass extraction of resources that belong to our communities? Where is the freedom when our tax dollars fund endless wars, genocide, and the mass murder of children abroad all to further enrich the billionaire class? Where is the freedom when 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to afford basic needs like housing, healthcare, and groceries? Where is the freedom when 75% of Americans can’t afford a median-priced home, 100 million Americans live with medical debt, and 140 million Americans are poor or low-income? There is no freedom here. We are all prisoners of a decrepit capitalist system that keeps us trapped in the rat race by demonizing the one economic system, socialism, that would put the economy in the hands of the people. Imagine a world where workers own the means of production, resources are used for the benefit of all, and decisions are made to meet the basic needs of the people rather than the endless greed of billionaires. That is socialism, and there is nothing scary about it. What is scary is continuing to allow a handful of billionaires and two capitalist parties to control our entire economy and make life-or-death decisions for all of humanity. Now is not the time to celebrate a “freedom” that we never had. Now is the time to fight for our freedom from the dictatorship of capital.

The Tragedy of Child Brides in Afghanistan: Poverty and Desperation Under Taliban Rule : Since the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, the humanitarian situation has dramatically deteriorated, especially for women and girls. Among the many grave challenges is the distressing rise in the sale of young girls, often under the age of 18, into marriage for a small sum of money. This harrowing practice is driven by a combination of crippling poverty, lack of education, and social restrictions imposed by the Taliban regime. The Desperate Situation of Afghan Families ; Afghanistan has long struggled with poverty, but the economic collapse following the Taliban's return has made the situation worse. The withdrawal of international aid, frozen assets, and sanctions on the Taliban government have led to widespread unemployment and food shortages. Families are grappling with severe hunger, and for many, the choice has come down to survival. In rural areas, where poverty is most pronounced, families face heart-wrenching decisions: unable to feed their children, some parents feel they have no choice but to sell their daughters into early marriage. These transactions, which are akin to the sale of a child, often fetch a meager amount of money — sometimes as little as a few hundred dollars. The exchange offers temporary financial relief but leaves girls trapped in lives of servitude and abuse. Girls as Young as 12 Sold into Marriage ; Girls as young as 12 or even younger are being sold into marriages with much older men, who view the transaction as a straightforward exchange of wealth. While child marriage was not unheard of in Afghanistan before the Taliban's return, it has escalated dramatically as the economic situation has worsened. The girls involved in these forced marriages face a lifetime of hardship. Deprived of their right to education, they are left with few prospects for improving their lives. In most cases, they are confined to the home, subject to their husband's control, and expected to bear children while still children themselves. The Role of the Taliban ; Under the Taliban's strict interpretation of Islamic law, the rights of women and girls have been drastically curtailed. Girls over the age of 12 are banned from attending school, and women are restricted from working in most professions or moving freely in public spaces. These policies further entrench the cycle of poverty and deprivation, leaving girls without the education or skills to change their circumstances. The Taliban claim to oppose child marriage, but in practice, they have done little to stop it. In many cases, Taliban officials themselves engage in or condone the practice. The legal and social protections that could prevent the sale of girls into marriage have been eroded under Taliban rule, making it difficult for families and communities to resist the pressures of poverty and cultural norms. Breaking the Cycle ; The sale of young girls into marriage is a symptom of a much larger problem in Afghanistan — a cycle of poverty and repression that disproportionately affects women and girls. Breaking this cycle requires a multifaceted approach, including humanitarian aid, access to education, and a commitment to gender equality. For many Afghan girls, the future remains uncertain. Until the international community finds a way to address the economic and social crisis in Afghanistan, and until the Taliban's repressive policies are reversed, countless young lives will continue to be sold for a fraction of their worth. These girls deserve the chance to grow, learn, and thrive — free from the bonds of forced marriage and the burdens of poverty. #Right_Justice_Freedom

Javier Milei's Bold Stance at Davos: tells WEF they are the problem, not the solution. In a world where political leaders often shy away from speaking their minds, Argentina's President Javier Milei has taken a bold stance at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. Addressing a room full of global leaders and influencers, Milei made it clear that the current global economic and political systems are not working, and it is time for a change. Milei argued that the WEF's focus on socialism and collectivism is misguided and that the true path to prosperity lies in free enterprise capitalism. He pointed to the success of countries like Singapore and Switzerland, which have embraced free markets and limited government intervention, as examples of what can be achieved when individuals are given the freedom to innovate and create. Many in attendance were taken aback by Milei's candor, but there is no denying that his message resonated with those who believe in the power of the individual to drive progress. Milei's leadership style is refreshing in a world where too many leaders are content to follow the narrative. In conclusion, Javier Milei's speech at Davos was a powerful reminder that true leadership means standing up for what you believe in, even when it is not popular. It is time for more leaders to follow his example and start advocating for real change.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier says that the United States is destroying the world order: "But there is also the fact that our most important partner, the United States, has broken with the values that it helped to establish and, above all, has played a decisive role in shaping over decades" "In my opinion, we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe" "Both disrespect and erosion are well advanced. I believe that, and I want to emphasise it a little" "Today, the aim is to prevent the world from turning into a den of thieves, where the most unscrupulous take what they want" "Where regions and entire countries are treated as property rather than major powers" "Where even medium-sized states, such as ours, are being pushed to the margins of history, and where smaller and weaker states are left completely unprotected"

Joshua Maponga claims that African countries can fix their job crises by getting educated and then “going back to the village” and “starting up stuff”. What Maponga doesn’t seem to understand is that individuals fail because their country’s industrial policy is not geared towards sustaining such. No amount of individual effort is going to move the needle. The idea of a mass of individuals all doing their own thing is intuitive and motivational, but history does not support it. No country ever uplifted itself through individual enterprise without deliberate state policy. That’s where everything starts, no exceptions. Maponga’s message resonates because it speaks to agency and self-reliance. It’s basically a philosophy of individual and community upliftment in the absence of a functional state. But the thing is, individuals and communities don’t operate in a vacuum. Their success is shaped by the enabling environment, or lack thereof, created by the state. An educated person can start an agri-business, but if there are no reliable roads to get goods to market and no energy grid for cold storage, the venture is hamstrung. This kind of infrastructure is a public good that requires state planning and investment. Where does capital come from? Without a functioning national financial system, development banks, or policies that de-risk lending to SMEs, entrepreneurs rely on personal savings or predatory loans. This severely limits scale. You might as well get a job. When the local population is poor, and regional trade is hampered by poor logistics and tariffs, the market is too small, so who will you sell to? State-led industrial policy must nurture industries, protect developing ones and negotiate regional/international trade agreements to create larger markets for you. Maponga’s motivated individuals would be the engine of the economy, but without the state to lay the tracks, the train of national development goes nowhere. History shows that the tracks must come first. You’re not going to “start” and hope state policy finds you along the way. Even if 100 individuals start successful small ventures, how do they become a competitive industry? A lone tomato farmer, a lone processor, and a lone trucker all fail without coordinated investment in inputs, processing facilities, and supply chains. This is where state industrial policy comes in. Getting an engineering degree means nothing when your country has no industrial policy. As I keep saying, no successful developmental state has relied on individual enterprise. There are numerous examples of this. Sure, Maponga is offering an individual survival manual within a broken system, but for individual efforts to sum to national development, you need a functioning state that provides the structure. This is where the focus should be. But he is misdirecting public consciousness. At the exact moment when Africans should be demanding the developmental state capacity of infrastructure, industrial policy and coordinated investment, he’s telling them the solution lies in individual initiative and “going back to the village.” This is politically demobilising by shifting the blame and responsibility away from where it belongs, in state failure and elite capture, onto individuals and communities. Then when hen people internalise that their poverty is due to not being entrepreneurial enough, they stop making rightful claims on the state. Instead of selling the people false hope, entertainers like Maponga should be creating political demand for industrial policy. They should be building public understanding that South Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, and every Western nation had active developmental states. They should be making it common knowledge that “free market” development is a myth, and that Africans deserve the same state-led development that worked everywhere else. In the end, when you strip away all the self-motivation, the fact remains: development is a state-mediated process and the Maponga message is just a relic of the neoliberal moment when we pretended the state didn’t matter and individuals could bootstrap their way to development.

Instead of selling the people false hope, entertainers like Maponga should be creating political demand for industrial policy. They should be building public understanding that South Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, and every Western nation had active developmental states. They should be making it common knowledge that “free market” development is a myth, and that Africans deserve the same state-led development that worked everywhere else. In the end, when you strip away all the self-motivation, the fact remains: development is a state-mediated process and the Maponga message is just a relic of the neoliberal moment when we pretended the state didn’t matter and individuals could bootstrap their way to development.

The Taoiseach and Tánaiste need to take responsibility for the chaos in the international protection system that is happening on their watch - a broken system, long delays, failure to enforce deportations, and massive profiteering in the provision of IPAS accommodation. We need a fair system where the public can have confidence that the rules are applied and enforced.

The Obidient Movement remains an organic movement driven by the self-sacrifice, commitment, and collective determination of Nigerians who believe that a New Nigeria is Possible. We align strongly with the ideas and principles of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, who has consistently demonstrated a different approach to politics by challenging the dominance of a money-driven political system. While resources are important in politics, the excessive influence of money has caused significant harm to Nigeria's democratic development and the well-being of its people. As believers in democratic values, we are concerned about the deregistration of political parties such as ADC, AA, ZLP and APP. A vibrant democracy thrives on inclusiveness, political participation, and the availability of diverse platforms through which citizens can freely express their aspirations and choices. The future of Nigeria's democracy must be built on fairness, inclusion, credible institutions, and the active participation of citizens. The Obidient Movement will continue to advocate for good governance, accountability, and a democratic culture that empowers the people rather than wealth and political influence. — Dr. Yunusa Tanko National Coordinator, Obidient Movement

#Balochistan Pakistan, a region rich in natural resources, is home to a population that faces severe socio-economic suppression. Among the most affected are the young girls and boys, whose lives are marred by a series of grave issues. One of the most harrowing problems is the enforced disappearances. Thousands of Baloch individuals have gone missing, leaving their families in a perpetual state of despair and uncertainty. These disappearances not only tear families apart but also instill a deep sense of fear and helplessness within the community. The region has also witnessed significant violence and suppression. Peaceful protests (see Mahrang.baloch), which are a fundamental right, are often met with brutal force. Recent crackdowns have been particularly severe, with reports of excessive force being used against protestors, including women and children. This suppression stifles the voices of those who seek justice and equality. Education is a critical area where Balochistan lags significantly. Over 75% of young girls are out of school. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of basic facilities in many schools, such as washrooms, which makes it difficult for children, especially girls, to attend and stay in school. This educational deprivation limits their future opportunities and perpetuates the cycle of poverty. The region has high rates of child marriage, which contributes to one of the highest maternal mortality rates in Pakistan. These young girls are often forced into marriage at a tender age, depriving them of their childhood, education, and the chance to build a better future. Despite Balochistan's wealth in natural resources, the Baloch people remain among the poorest in #Pakistan. The benefits of development projects, such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), have largely bypassed the local population. This economic marginalization leaves the Baloch people struggling to make ends meet, with minimal improvements in their living conditions. Highlighting these issues is crucial to bring about change. The plight of Baloch girls and boys in Balochistan needs urgent attention from both national and international communities! By raising awareness and advocating for their rights, we can hope to create a better future for the children of Balochistan.

Miller: As you've seen with the Somali refugee problem in Minnesota, where you have a large number of people that are not following the honor system. They're not abiding by our laws. And the amount that has been fleeced from us is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. I believe based on what I've seen, what I've heard is that we could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them, and that ultimately is gonna be what we have to do as a country.

.david friedberg: “We are now at a moment where we are saying there is no longer private property in the United States. This is one of the foundational rights that the founders of the United States tried to create: a distinction between these other nations that everyone flees from, where a monarchy or a totalitarian government or some communist system says everyone owns everything together, or some small number of people own and control everything. And that’s what this always comes down to. Whether it’s a socialist state or a communist state or a monarchy or some other totalitarian regime, there’s a small number of people that own and control everything. And that is the brink that we’re on. Because they are trying to say, for the first time ever, there is no longer private property in the United States. That if the government can say everything that you’ve already paid your income tax on, and then you’ve bought and you now own, the government can take a piece of it every year based on the vote and the budgetary needs of an irresponsible fiscal legislature. We’ve lost it all. And that’s where we are. And we see this just passed in Illinois. People think it’s just crypto, just like they think that billionaire tax is just billionaires. But anytime the government can take your private property after you’ve paid your taxes, bought something, and put it in your garage, we are done for. That is when the politburo has unlimited capacity to tax and take and do what they want. That’s the moment we’re at.”

Argentine President Javier Miley speaks at the World Economic Forum in Davos 📍 The Western world is in danger. It is in danger because those who should defend the values of the West are consumed by a vision of the world that leads inexorably to socialism and poverty. Collectivist experiments are not the solution. 📍 Free enterprise capitalism is not only the only possible system that can end world poverty, it is the only morally acceptable system to achieve that goal. 📍 Social justice is unjust because it is based on tax collection. Collectivism constrains entrepreneurs willing to offer the best goods at the best prices. 📍 We live in the richest and most prosperous times, but this is true for free countries. We must not forget that socialism has failed in every country where it was installed and ruined millions of people. There are no examples of "market error". 📍 Argentines have been through all of this and we are here to warn you, it doesn't matter how rich you are or how educated the population is, if you attack capitalism and private property, you will impoverish yourself. The state is not the solution, the state is the problem.

Past lives are happening simultaneously, as everything is part of a singular organism Matias explains that what we perceive as past lives are not separate events in time but rather connections to specific pieces of information existing in another frequency. He suggests that all past lives are happening simultaneously, as everything is part of a singular organism. He compares this idea to the human body, where each cell represents an individual person. Every cell contains the same genetic information but specializes in fulfilling a specific function within an organ. Similarly, every person holds the same universal knowledge but focuses on a particular role in the collective organism of humanity. This specialization prevents individuals from remembering everything, as doing so could create confusion about their purpose. Therefore, forgetting past lives or universal knowledge is intentional—it allows individuals to concentrate on their specific roles. However, some people, like Matias and others, act as the neural network or nervous system of the collective body, communicating and reminding others of their purposes. These individuals serve as the connections or pulses that help the rest of the "cells" understand their roles and stay aligned with the greater organism. Matias emphasizes that the variation in memory or awareness among people is due to the unique tasks each has been designed to fulfill within this interconnected system.
