Another week another Oppo W
You too oppo!
Reading “the ethnic cleaning of Palestine”. It’s a really good book in case anyone wants to learn more about Palestine and its occupation by the Zionist entity.
China is not Communist, there has never been a Communist country, it's moving slowly towards Socialism. I believe it's a mix of idealism, poverty fetishism (communism is when poverty capitalism is when rich) and internalized Western propaganda
Libs mad about this one 💀💀💀
Thanks for your input! I forgot to mention that
Capitalism creates poverty and misery and exports it abroad: Immigration is often caused by Imperialism, the highest stage of Capitalism. People from third world countries find themselves unable to live a proper life due to the shackles of Western Imperialism and decide to move to the Imperial Core, in search of a better life. They are then exploited as a cheap labor force and used as scapegoats by the same people that exploit them to justify all the issues and contradictions of the Capitalist system.
This is where the "immigrants are taking over our jobs" narrative comes from.
b-but gomunism no ifon?
yeah, that's not racism.
wtf did this guy say
Tbh not everyone who left was a reactionary shithead. Many who did were (and also actual criminals), however, a decent number of East Germans, for example, who chose to immigrate to the West due to thinking they’d be living in a lavish lifestyle tried to go back to the East due to being disillusioned by Capitalism.
I’m on my phone rn so providing a source for this is a bit hard (sorry), but if you look this up on lemmygrad I’m sure you’ll easily find them. I will also update this comment later to provide them.
Think about it. You’re a German citizen, grew up with anti communist indoctrination everywhere, then all of a sudden the Soviets come to your country (thank god they did) and “shortly” (4 years later) after socialism is established [Yes, I know Stalin wanted a neutral, non-aligned Germany]. The whole Jewish-bolshevik conspiracy bs probably played a role.
There’s also the factor that ALL the countries in the Eastern Bloc had been ravaged by WW2, unlike most capitalist countries, didn’t receive the Marshall Plan and had to pay reparations to the Soviet Union (West Germany refused) and didn’t benefit or profit from Imperialism, placing it in a very, very unfair position against the Western Bloc. In the case of the GDR, not only had its territory always been historically poorer than its Western counterpart, but also didn’t have access to the Ruhr valley.
Also, people might accuse you of whataboutism if you say this (who cares lol), but there were also many people who fled — under the same definition — capitalism for the Eastern Bloc, namely western communists, minorities and 3rd world peoples.
Lastly, there was inefficiency, corruption, infiltration and many other issues in the Eastern Bloc, which unfortunately weren’t addressed correctly, but that’s another story that deserves its own book (blackshirts and reds and socialism betrayed explain these pretty well imo)
