Glad to see some bougie academic reaffirm the fact that our desire to see everyone treated like a human being is an extreme position.
Last I checked, neither Russia nor DPRK have any law that requires them to follow sanctions made up by the USA.
Germany is discussing reintroducing the military service requirement.
The German defense minister is clearly saying that Germans must prepare for war, not just in the material sense of getting the Bundeswehr into fighting shape but in the socio-political sense of "the government and military can't go to war if the people are against it, and the government damn well wants to go to war so we better get the propaganda rolling."
It's a scary time to be alive.
Ah yes, all those *checks notes* billionaire communists that are definitely out there.
To put it another way, capitalists do indeed dig their own grave, but we workers need to push them in and bury the casket.
A shocking number of people are cool with that.
Yep, with a reactionary coup, because a non-capitalist alternative was just too threatening. One of the biggest tragedies of the 20th century, for reasons already briefly detailed in other comments here.
Not being directly charged and found guilty isn't the trump card they think it is. Most Nazis were never punished, many top brass went on to shape the west into what it is today.
When I bring up context like this the person I'm in conversation with often rolls their eyes and says something like "it doesn't matter why things were bad under communism, people had a traumatic time and you have to respect that."
Anyway has anyone got more sources on Romania and the Imperialist Monetary Fund profiteering?
That's precisely why fascism has been colloquially redefined to mean only what the Nazis did.
Otherwise we'd look at neoliberalism, or even post war era social democracy, and see that it's just fascism.
Oh great, even more lies from German state media. This AfD group had no official invitation from the Chinese government, nor did they meet with Chinese government officials. DW is really trying their best to push horseshoe theory on us, and it would be laughable if people didn't take it seriously.
It's not the Chinese buying real estate in the west, it's Chinese capitalists. A lot of Hong Kong bourgeois for example have been buying property in and in many cases have moved to the west since 1997, since they're terrified of losing their extortionate privilege of property ownership under the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Working class Chinese people, while on average wealthier than their western working class counterparts, do not have the capital nor the material interest to buy real estate in the west, whether for speculation or to move their ill gotten gains out of China.
