So everyone, from the puppy and new-born baby to the old farmworker whose home is now a pile of rubble, is a Nazi.
Bet you think the bombing of Dresden was wonderful too?
“You are not socialists. You hate socialists and every socialist government that has ever existed. Just like liberals do.”
And you support inflicting misery, cold, mutilation and death on masses of people because you say the top government brass are Nazis. So much for your “socialism.”
The workers are 99% of the world’s population, so to say we care about nothing but …
Lastly, “socialist government” is a contradiction in terms. Government implies a state, and a state is for a minority to oppress the majority with. So your “socialists” are a minority oppressing the workers, as in the USSR and China. You are, frankly, ignorant.Everyone i’ve spoken to takes great offence at the idea that they are wage-slaves. If you mildly suggest that they’re a wage-slave, say goodbye to any amity or solidarity.
If you call them, with yourself, a member of the working class, they walk away in disgust.And the nuclear meltdown from the cutting of the electricity will also affect the Russian soldiery and the separatists too. So what does Putin care about his own troops?
Makhno was a peasant and his language is a peasant’s language. Add the violence he had to contend with, and we shouldn’t judge him by today. It is unfair to do so: as unfair as the nationalists’ misrepresentation of him.
It’s an ideology born of the war with Germany. “Nazis” are ingrained in the handed-down memory of Russian patriots. Much less so now in the West, where the boogeyman Nazi was straightway replaced by the boogeyman Commie.
And Solzhenitsyn was treated humanely, TS?
So you believe dissidents and critics of the state should be imprisoned?
ALB: “For once I agree with Lizzie.”
Maybe, ALB, you could make our pamphlets more hip, and halve their content for the short- attention -span – digital modern skimmer.
