Right, I understand that. Germany, if we ever try to be socialist, will absolutely be invaded by foreign powers. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to do so. Rheinmetall in Europe together with the French relative are forces of oppression of third world countries, plus they sell weapons to both Russia and Ukraine as a tiny example of how blood-profit thirsty they are. This tho, hasn’t stoped previous AES states.
What would be your proposed alternative?
As an example: making a law that can be defined as anti-capitalist not to make it go through but to draw attention to the matter, how it would genuinely benefit the people and how hypocritical the other parties would be to reject it and ever call themselves for the people?
I don’t quite understand the last paragraph tho…
I’d like to add in on top of the Oil, it also serves as a very easy way to destabilize a country and pacify the population of the imperial core when it comes to the countries aggressive foreign policy, effectively inventing a justification for “liberation” and foreign interference
I had just watched his 1. Mai video recently and thought that his assessments were mostly correct with some very weird comments that I didn’t totally understand at the time about Stalin. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not someone who’ll ever say anyone is perfect and I know how and why Stalin had real issues in decision making but it just felt off somehow.
I saw this post today and decided to watch the latest from the red pen about Western Marxism and omg, I feel like I got my eyes opened to weird patterns I have seen in the left the past year of me actually learning more about it. So much of the bullshit of “not actually socialist” is directly attributed to this group of people who say they want true revolution only if it means absolute socialism and refuse to engage or bring up any actual alternatives on how to get to it. They also despise Deng because ofc they do. I recently quoted Lenin to someone explaining a bit of economy and they completely refused my point, called me a Dengist (💀 I never read a word from him) and then sent me 140 pages to read about a Western Marxist ideology flavour.
People should absolutely be talking more about this shit, not only about the idiots who disavow any voting as “participating in the same system” or “only fighting like that” (left-wing communists) but also the Western Marxists kind who honestly won’t ever do anything if they’ll just blame anything on currently existing socialist countries
Thx OP for bringing this up, I really needed that
If you want gaming, Bazzite (or smth) is pretty much the best one you got, following I think by CachyOS and then technically SteamOS but I'm not sure it's possible to install on your own PC, I haven't really checked into it. And for your UI, choose whatever makes you happy and doesn't stress you. Remember that Linux is for basically only nice if tinkering with your PC is a hobby
Burguesia in portuguese, very easy to remember :p
Thank you for the in depth description of post revolution on what to do then, but my question is still here in my limited understanding and not so good extrapolation. What constitutes as the “bringing awareness”, because I feel like the party I am in is already doing that and quite well. If it would be the only thing to do, the MLPD would likely be the most voted one for being the most grounded in reality and exposing of contradictions, but that’s not what’s happening. So my question now is what exactly would those questions to be raised be? How were some examples portrayed in history?
I think I understand that ultimately power won’t be given to us by voting, but by appropriately taking advantage of capitalism’s failings, but how can we balance avoiding the financial hardship of our Proletariat under capitalism and having a struggle for power? It’s fine to recommend a book as well, that would be welcome
