The meme says nothing against the workers electing a representative. It talks about ownership of the means of production. To use your analogy, the president doesn’t own the means of production of a country.

Free market? As in, competition between different enterprises? And what do you think happens when one company “wins” that competition? It will use that power to establish a monopoly (or a cartel with a couple buddy companies). Both “free market” and “private monopoly” are capitalist fenomena, just at different stages of development of industry.

From the original article:
Historical origins
As early as the Qing Dynasty, China has had a tradition of entertaining mourners at funerals. Especially among certain ethnic minorities, such as the Tujia people, there is a tradition of “being happy at the funeral but sad at the wedding.” But the striptease was only added to the funeral entertainment menu in the 1990s. Experts partly attribute such a phenomenon to fertility worship. “In some local cultures, dancing with erotic elements can be used to convey the deceased’s wishes of being blessed with many children,” Huang Jianxing, professor of Fujian Normal University Sociology and History Department, told the Global Times. “According to the interpretation of cultural anthropology, the fete is originated from the worship of reproduction. Therefore the erotic performance at the funeral is just a cultural atavism,” media professor Kuang Haiyan interprets.

10·15 days agoI’m not sure about Ukraine.
My guess would be Western Ukraine would become another Poland/Baltics, while the Eastern part would form another part of the Russia-Belarus block you mentioned earlier (I feel like KPRF has a lot of sway in the east of Ukraine, they were the main force behind the SMO in the fist place, and established quite a lot of organization there as well as among the troops).

US News@lemmygrad.ml•U.S. Air Force Chief Confirms the F-47 Fighter is 3-4 Years Behind its Chinese Rivals in Entering Flight Testing
1·19 days agoThe 3-4 years number is based on an optimistic projection where they pinky-promise they’ll have the fist flight by 2028. And that’s just the first flight watermark.
China’s ability to bring its first fifth generation fighter, the J-20, from its first demonstrator flight to service entry in just six years drew a highly unfavourable precedent when compared to the F-35 and F-22, which both took 15 years, and indicates that the country could begin fielding sixth generation fighters close to a decade before the United States.
