plot to take away the daytime tv of Spanish boomers
Uncritical support: burn Spanish TV. Half is owned by Berlusconi (ripbozo), half is owned by ATresMedia (equally right wing outlets with one outlet called La Sexta controlling the mass opinion of progressives in the country). Burn the whole fucking thing.
is Spanish
convinced that the power outage was caused by a cyber attack from Morocco
where he got that idea
He got the idea from being Spanish. As a Spaniard: Arab-phobia, Islamophobia, and to a lesser extent Francophobia (as in Fr*nce) are a big part of the foundational myth in Spain. I’m sorry that your BIL is a so-called “cuñao”… really tough shit to deal with on a semi-regular basis.
Enemy both too strong and too weak yadda yadda. Nice username you got there btw
He’s my giantdaddy
I doubt it’s only the heat per se. Temps in most of Spain today were hovering the 20-25°C (fucking nice), in summer we routinely get 40°C in many areas and no issues even with ACs drawing hard on the electricity supply.
No official information as to what happened yet.
or still fucked
In my region of Spain the electricity is back. I gotta say though, it’s been rather the opposite of fucked. Biggest issues have been the people who got trapped in elevators, and some traffic chaos due to traffic lights not working, no big accidents AFAIK.
People, for the most part, went outside to touch grass. March was rainy and cold, and finally the temperatures are up and we had a splendid and sunny day. Most people just went to take walks and to slam a few beers at the local bar. Honestly, gotta love that about Spanish culture. I took a walk on the evening and the streets and parks were buzzing with people.
This has been confirmed fake news as of now, the reasons are so far unknown
Their post
Then China qualified Khruschyov as revisionist and started to degrade relations. How is any of this on Stalin?
Stalin abandoned internationalism
it became possible for another nation to take a socialist developmentalist line
Uh… Stalin’s USSR was instrumental in the communists winning the civil war in China, and the further development later. At some point, close to 10% of Soviet GDP was aid to China.
Edited it. Thanks for your input.
The least gay thing is checks notes when it’s all muscular men?
Disengage now, I don’t wanna continue a conversation with you.
*edited due to prior bad usage of the “disengage” rule on my part
“Your analysis should stop where I say it should stop” isn’t the greatest way of approaching someone on your side of the struggle. We’re all buddies here, no need to be so aggressive.
“goodness of their hearts” more moralist idealist nonsense
When the USSR didn’t engage in unequal exchange once it was industrialised, it was literally out of moral principles. When Cuba sends doctors abroad to crises, it’s literally out of moral principles. It isn’t “idealist nonsense”, the struggle against imperialism essentially stems from morality, trying to separate the two is absurd.
You are not a marxist, this is not marxist analysis
Again, I ask you to refrain from engaging in offensive statements. Hexbear is cool, I don’t want it to be an aggressive poison swamp.
The same exact argument could be made for Rachel Corrie going and dying under Israeli bulldozer treads to protect a “capitalist” and “reactionary” nation of Palestine.
Palestine can’t be compared to Russia because Palestine isn’t an industrialised nation. The difference between Russia and Palestine is rhat Russia is industrialised and can therefore engage in imperialism, and it does. Palestine, as a colony undergoing genocide, is in a very, very different position.
My whole point is that critical support to Russia is OK, I’m not arguing against that. My point is that there are a million more effective and more moral ways of engaging in anti-imperialism than sacrificing your life for the Russian oligarchs just because they happen to currently engage in warfare against the imperialist west.
Russia is acting in Ukraine essentially the only way it’s been allowed to, in order to maintain its sphere of economic and diplomatic influence around it, it has been essentially forced by the imperialist west to engage in warfare.
The fact that Russia is in a geopolitical position opposed to the west, means that, in a general sense, the fight is anti-western imperialism. It also can be described as Russian capitalist imperialism though, it’s not for the goodness of its heart that it’s engaging in this struggle against the west, it’s for the sake of the profits of its capitalists.
That’s not nearly enough reason, as a westerner, to go throw your body into the meat grinder for a country actively oppressing its minorities, its women, and its LGTBQ. There’s plenty more ways you can engage in anti-imperialism such as donating money to Cuba or time in mutual aid. I don’t see how that’s a chauvinist point of view: I can recognise that the west is actively worse than Russia in terms of imperialism (even if only by the fact that it holds more geopolitical and economical power), and that there are way more effective and less morally reprehensible ways of anti-imperialist struggle.
And the only revolutionary struggle is inter-imperialist overt military conflict? Hell no. If you wanna help the revolution, work your ass off and send money to Cuba or Palestine instead of throwing your body to the meat grinder.
Throwing your body to the meat grinder in an inter-imperialist conflict is a fucking waste. Yes, weakening the west is a good thing in and out of itself, but your life is much more valuable than to be wasted like that, there’s so much more you can do from within the west.
Ew
no modern western left wing movement has a viable theory of victory
Modern? There’s never been a successful revolution in the west, except GDR being literally forced militarily by the USSR to become socialist.
Oh, a video on Elon?
