Sheng-Ji Yang posted:is there a reason why FI and melenchons support has dropped so much? why have they not been able to be an effective opposition to macron? No idea myself, but from French people I know he looked like an idiot in the video of the police raid on his headquarters. If I'd have to guess then the French left currently just isn't in a voting mood. Feels less radical to vote for the commie when you're setting fire to the city.

Zedd posted:My main issue with this whole eurobonds thing is that the only reason we have a surplus is 10+ years of gutting our social support networks, accessibility to courts, etc. And back during the eurocrisis we where also slow to recover because of austerity measures making people unable to spend/reignite the economy. What is the relation of that to eurobonds?

the heat goes wrong posted:Is your point is that this is some evil plan by western liberals to ruin the reputation of communism by associating it with Nazism, like some posters in this thread insist? Honestly, if you haven't gotten the point yet I don't know what to tell you. The crimes of fascism are the crimes of our (great)grandparents. There is a fundamental difference between commemorating those crimes and those committed by a foreign power. Especially in the face of a global resurgence of the far right.

We won't commit the same mistake as the weeping-heart neoliberals of the Soviet Politburo who spat on Stalin's memory and destroyed his monuments, thus promoting fascism. True, they should have gone out of their way to also condemn Hitler's crime in the same meeting. That's just what you do when you really regret your government's crimes. Talk about how bad your official enemies are.

SplitSoul posted:They handed over valuable land to Serbian administration, which is a valid point of criticism from a party rooted in national self-determination. The government also killed some protesters, among them one who "committed suicide" by inserting a bottle into his own throat while in police custody. My friend's not that hung up on the genocide and having to flee, anymore. Yeah, I'm not that current on Kosovo and Serbian politics, but as far as I remember there are a lot of ethnically Serbian enclaves and cross-over infrastructure so something like that will probably have to happen. Was the old president still the guy who kept being accused of harvesting POW's organs, but the witnesses kept committing suicide? Edit: but yeah I see how people would get mad about any land concessions. I listened to an interview with a Serbian journalist and apparently over there it's a common assumption that the president is a NATO puppet with orders to settle Kosovo. genericnick has issued a correction as of 20:16 on Feb 16, 2021 |
