Europe is a beautiful country, but it's in a completely different time zone last I heard.

Ardennes posted:No, not as a whole, the entire reason Germany lacked a minimum wage was because unions controlled wages...but that to happen you actually still need unions. Likewise, most European countries still have much larger state sectors, and usually free/low cost higher education and publically regulated medical care. Some European countries have to some extreme lengths to liberalize (especially in Eastern Europe) but are almost always given those recommendations by Ivy League graduates (and even then they usually still have larger public sector). The one European country that would be close to rivaling us is the UK, but that isn't saying much. Ah. So now. If only the us didn’t exist the perky European right libs would not be loving over the third world as well as uing the sun to gently caress up Europe. Right.... All capitalists are subhumans who need to be thrown in gulags to earn their humanity back.

lol norway still doesn't have a minimum wage. sectoral bargaining is directly hurt by reducing the incentive to unionise, such as via a legal minimum wage

Right.... i think you’re grinding a weird axe here. no one is saying the european capitalists arent awful or wouldnt try to fill any void left by the US, but the US is the primary nerve center of global capital, and its military enforcer as well - and has been for over 50 years. with that power and influence theyve cleared the field as much as they can and itd be easier to deal with an isolated neoliberal EU if the enforcement aspect of the US security apparatus were out of the equation

The EU isn’t really any less capable of the sort of regime change the US has been engaging in since the Obama administration. What would make things easier is a revolutionary US actively opposing imperialism.

And no, Haiti does not count. That's not going to stop lawfare or financial starvation, which is the immediate problem facing the latin american left.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and capital ain't gonna migrate the US military or the world's biggest spook industry anywhere. A socialist (or even just an anti-imperialist) US would literally knock the supports out from under imperialism as we know it, and it would take a long-rear end time for the rest of the first world to pick up the slack.

EU member states are still some of the world's biggest suppliers of weapons. You don't have to go around invading all of these countries in the 3rd world when you can just arm the compradors to overthrow them for you. That's why it's not enough to just have a weakened United States. CAPS LOCK BROKEN posted:The issue here is even if the US became the USSA overnight global capital is just going to migrate to Canada/UK and then use the exact same lawfare/financial starvation/separatist tactics that the US uses on other countries. But a revolutionary United States would also act as a financial counterbalance to the capital of the global north. The US right now is just a massive sink of value, and flipping it all isn't something that the rest of the global north could easily recover from.

So about AMLO... One of his campaign promises was a popular referendum on his presidency. That is, in about two years he will hold an election and if he loses he will step down. I am absolutely certain the right-wing is preparing to coup him when the times comes.

I mean, the EU as such is pretty dysfunctional and really can't. Even when they were crushing Greece, where the ECB only had to press a button they got the US dominated Bretton Woods organizations on board to hide behind and help with the technical details of the crushing. The prospect that they could force the desperate Eurobanks to skip out on earning a quick buck seems remote to me, absent the strong US pressure. Individual European countries on the other hand are still going strong with the warcrimeing. France is somewhat of a standout, they still run half of Africa's monetary policy, even though they themselves switched currency.

So, appearantly it wasn't just a regular coup in Bolivia, but also a military insurrection/mutiny/whatever it is called? Also explains why Añez got rid of Kaliman etc. right away: https://www.paginasiete.bo/segurida..._medium=twitter The article, which is of course like all Bolivian media right now very pro coup, and only calls it "the military deploying to the streets to protect the Bolivian people", is a very dramatized write up of the coup day, and basically states that General Kaliman, the commander of the army, was threatened by General Rojas, that the "colonels will come and arrest the high command" if he didn't deploy the military for the coup. The article then of course claims that Morales nevertheless stepped down voluntarily, and not under threat, but goes on to describe that the lion Rojas was ready to arrest Kaliman on the spot in front of the tv cameras if he didn't call for Morales to step down during the press conference, because they thought he might try to double cross them. It ends with a bunch of quotes from Kaliman in 2018 all the way up to the elections in 2019 that are supposed to drive home that he was loyal to the horrible MAS policies until the end. It's kind of hilarious how the article tries to make that Rojas guy be the hero of the story, and talks about the officers were about to start arresting generals, and at the same time tries to say that none of this makes it a coup Spice World War II has issued a correction as of 23:55 on Dec 1, 2019 |

V. Illych L. posted:one can make a solid case that the necessity of rebuilding their countries after the most devestating war in history drove them, though. certainly this was a very big part of the norwegian labour party's turn away from socialism Related fun fact: The guy who set the tone for what Norway would become after WWII was in power for 17 years total. Or as we say when it's one of ours, in office. Tbf though, a lot of good there even after he steered away from Communism.
