-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Look forward to the exciting news coverage of a definitely not foreign state sponsored coup next year.
Hey, it can be domestic state sponsored coup, seeing who are in charge in India!
No need for a coup because they'll get voted out eventually and then back in.
The coalition that currently governs Kerala, the Left Democratic Front which the communist party of india is a big part of, usually trades places with the United Democratic Front which is lead by the indian national congress every election. Every 5 years the ruling coalition would lose and the opposition would get to govern, and then lose in the next election.
However in 2021 for the first time ever the Left Democratic Front won the election while being the incumbent and so has been governing for 9 consecutive years so it doesn't shock me that a lot of progress has been done. Since that was an outlier I assume next year the United Democratic Front will win but I just saw a headline of some guy saying that it could win a third term so idk maybe there's hope
Micro-level planning
Basically how China did it. It seems like a government seriously committed to ending poverty will inevitably reach this point where they've done all they can with big universal programs, and have to reach into all of the cracks in the system and all of the special cases and handle them on a much more personal level. Extremely cool stuff, I hope Kerala can keep it up and that the rest of India takes notice.
I'm not holding my breath for the rest of India though. There seems to be a serious hyper capitalist tech bro cult with a lot of political and cultural sway, and that's leaving the BJP and Modi aside (which we shouldn't)
This reminds me of that Baltic dude who complained about muh communism poverty in Kerala when didnt even look that different from most countries.
Kerala gives me some hope but it's a shame India as a whole is so far removed from it
I remember getting very kerala pilled a few years ago but since there weren't any audiobooks or podcasts on it I didn't get far into it
