R. Guyovich posted:genuinely think the advent of "leftist" youtube guys, twitch streamers and podcasters has done more to throttle whatever socialist movement could have existed post-trump election than whatever cointelpro stuff the fbi's been cooking up. this is true but in the same respect that you can trade around a funny garfield meme and follow "you are not immune to propaganda" with "except me" i.e. this subforum writ large furthermore, Halloween Jack posted:I swear, every time I see some European making a "The Soviets were just as bad or worse" argument, it's a Hungarian.

GDR propably was an hellish experience if you were an anticommunist dissident and STASI found out. But most people weren't. Like in the west, most people really want to work, have a home and meaningful relationships. And I think third is much easier if two firsts are secured by society.

Speaking of the GDR, I thought this documentary series was quite good. It's in German but the subtitles are good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkk-HlEJn-I

Red and Black posted:https://www.spiegel.de/internationa...634122-amp.html quote:Klaus Schroeder, 59, director of an institute at Berlin's Free University that studies the former communist state … warns against efforts to downplay the SED dictatorship by young people whose knowledge about the GDR is derived mainly from family conversations, and not as much from what they have learned in school. "Not even half of young people in eastern Germany describe the GDR as a dictatorship, and a majority believe the Stasi was a normal intelligence service," Schroeder concluded hmm yes, it is a problem to be learning from direct experience instead of pre-chewed opinions for babies

quote:The questions of Hong Kong and Macao were easier, although they too posed their own difficulties, particularly Hong Kong. There was no need to worry about Macao since the Portuguese themselves had repeatedly offered to return the island to the PRC and in 1979 even reached an appropriate understanding with the Chinese, which, to be sure, was kept secret. Deng was waiting for a propitious moment to announce it. But he did not succeed in quickly resolving the problem with the British. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of the United Kingdom thought that Hong Kong was “a unique example of successful Sino-British co-operation,” and that a declaration about returning it to the PRC would have a “disastrous effect” since the people in the colony feared the communists and would immediately take their capital out. Unlike the Chinese Nationalists on Taiwan, the British position was weak. In 1997 the ninety-nine-year lease on the greater part of Hong Kong, known as the New Territories, would expire. This region was the agricultural appendage of Hong Kong, and without it the multimillion-population city simply could not exist. lmao loving owned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh1N1GIYxDw

gradenko_2000 posted:lmao loving owned quote:Oddly, the idea of opening the back door for negotiations with the CPC never appears in the body of any of the cabinet transcripts themselves, but only in the margins of Thatcher's personal parliamentary briefings. Here, the phrase "open the back door for negotiations with the CPC" is written in Thatcher's own hand, often underlined, or followed by mass exclamation marks, as if to remind the femme ferrous that she must follow up the idea later. And yet there never seems to be any obvious relationship between the idea of opening the back door for negotiations with the CPC and the content of the printed texts the handwritten recommendations append.

Like why do we do that. imperialist capitalism is so foul that anyone who fights against it gets a participation trophy, no matter how foul they themselves are. case in point, the taliban is a gross regressive theocracy. no one was all that upset that they reclaimed afghanistan because 1:, in the absence of global communism, self determination is by default very good and 2: the united states is also a gross regressive theocracy
