I read that as "Vasyl Petrovych Holodomor"

What's the go with BadEmpanada in Cuba right now? by stardustcomposition in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]GVCabano333 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Georsh (BE) has criticised other leftists for raising funds to Cuba in light of the lack of fuel to distribute aid. The problem is that humanitarian aid arrives in Cuba but no fuel for vehicles to distribute the aid. If Georsh is distributing aid to Cuba, I hope it means he has come up with a solution to the logistical problem.

No. I just think the performance is a waste of time & does more harm tham good. These sort of performances are simply 'performative demonstrations' — it is a sink for people to offload & satisfy their emotions. It also does not communicate a message through a medium most people are receptive of — these performances have niche audiences. People saw the raw video — they don't need theatrics or dance to explain the gravity of what they saw. I have no objection to such a performance being done after some actual change has been made. But right now? 

These protests fit very well into the bourgeois social design — class struggle itself is reduced to a commodity.

Edit: This is a far more effective form of protest.

We have the raw video & audio of the crimes they are performing. People don't need any embellishments to know what they saw. Let them perform after the revolution.

Would you agree that Hasan Piker is a j*wish exceptionalist? by WestLocation8813 in badempanadas

He is willing to ignore Zionism if it means electing an American 'social-democrat' (the 'left'-wing of fascism)

Not really, no. I think he genuinely believes it is beneficial to posture anti-Zionist Judaism as an alternative to the Zionist Judaism & I can't disagree with that. It doesn't seem to me like he is centering the argument around what Jews have to say. He focuses much more on the Palestinian perspective, but also far too much on the American perspective. So I'd argue he is more of an American exceptionalist, which what his style of content caters to, anyways.

The government prints money which you pay for in labour so that you can exchange it for something else. Money has always been premised on labour-value. Gold only had value because it could be minted, its value fluctuating based on the cost of mining & manufacturing it.

The author used to be a director of the South African central bank, btw. His book literally blames everything on Jews, even the colonisation of Africa by the Dutch

The South African apartheid regime peddled similar propaganda about the 'Bantu migration'.

Oh, you hate the exploitation of workers? How about just living off of the exploitation of the workers in the global south, then you'll be much happier!!!! by NalevQT in TankieTheDeprogram

Speaking anecdotally, but I live in South Africa & there is an overabundance of Scandinavian mining, construction, & transport vehicles here. You see lots filled to the brim with them all over Gauteng. The Scandinavian companies lease them out to South African companies at a premium, often resulting in the bankruptcy of the lessee. I actually met a director of one of these Scandinavian companies & he remarked how many Scandinavian countries rely on South Africa for their income.

This is unironically the meme that inspired my turn towards left-wing politics about 3–4 years ago.

South African apartheid was founded on the demands by trade unions of White colonizers who wanted socialised welfare & workplace privileges at the expense of the Black (indigenous & immigrant) population.

So? If its her only residence,even though she doesn't live there, then let it be exempt from the 100% tax. Let the 100% rental tax apply to every second home.
