no socialist project was perfect and most of them carried over aspects of the state apparatus from the previous regime in order to turn it on capitalists / liberals / whoever is out of favour. This is then used and exaggerated by VoC types to dismiss the whole project

KomradeX posted:Itnis deeply funny that Ameircan cops kill 100 times more people than the GDR didz every year but we have freedom apparently Look at all the whaboutism in this thread. Comparing socialist countries to capitalist countries is not allowed, as it keeps making capitalism look bad and is therefore evidence of bias and logical fallacy.

How generous military pension is pushing Philippines to fiscal collapsequote:A plan to fix the Philippines’ unsustainable military pension system is supposedly pushing enlisted soldiers to retire early, leaving President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to spend his political capital to address both pressing concerns. what if the Third Rail of Politics but it's for the Men With Guns

The G7 is convening in Japan so you know what time it is https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/china-s-loans-pushing-world-s-poorest-countries-to-brink-of-collapse/ar-AA1bkV8V quote:A dozen poor countries are facing economic instability and even collapse under the weight of hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign loans, much of them from the world’s biggest and most unforgiving government lender, China. quote:An Associated Press analysis of a dozen countries most indebted to China — including Pakistan, Kenya, Zambia, Laos and Mongolia — found paying back that debt is consuming an ever-greater amount of the tax revenue needed to keep schools open, provide electricity and pay for food and fuel. And it’s draining foreign currency reserves these countries use to pay interest on those loans, leaving some with just months before that money is gone. i wonder which countries fall under "a group of non-Chinese lenders" quote:The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement to the AP, disputed the notion that China is an unforgiving lender and echoed previous statements putting the blame on the Federal Reserve. It said that if it is to accede to IMF and World Bank demands to forgive a portion of its loans, so do those multilateral lenders, which it views as U.S. proxies. oh word? quote:In high-level talks in Washington last month, China was considering dropping its demand that the IMF and World Bank forgive loans if the two lenders would make commitments to offer grants and other help to troubled countries, according to various news reports. But in the weeks since there has been no announcement and both lenders have expressed frustration with Beijing.

Yeah was gonna post that. You can probably find a story by AP themselves a few weeks ago about how china is actively preventing the day of IMF reckoning from a lot of countries by giving them more favorable loans

The GDR government actively searched for nazis, no matter how minor they thought themselves to be, while the west German government happily employed nazi officials. There was a lot of incentive for nazis to leave the GDR but, as you can imagine, the GDR wasn't keen on them leaving unpunished

Vietnam rebukes China, Philippines over South China Sea conductquote:Vietnam on Thursday, May 18, criticized recent conduct by a Chinese research ship and the Philippine coast guard in the South China Sea, accusing its neighbors of separate actions that were violating its sovereign rights. last week it was hailed as a great step to standing up to China that we had planted buoys in the West Philippine Sea whoops! turns out this isn't just a two-country problem! people don't understand that if you take a position of "this is our EEZ, absolutely, and China is intruding on it, and bullying us in it, and it's effectively an invasion", that you're forgetting about all the other countries that have claims in the South China Sea, and THEY think the Philippines are the intruders, are the bullies, are the ones violating their sovereignty
