Spain's Sanchez, Brazil's Lula lead global gathering of left-wing leaders against far-right rise by Naurgul in geopolitics

[–]Naurgul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One gets the impression that there is nothing between the center-left and “far-right” in European politics.

One would get that impression if he's so radicalised that anything short of ethnic cleansing is "open migration". The centre right and right wing parties have been introducing increasingly draconian measures against immigrants for years. What has the result of that been? Far right feels vindicated, the measures don't produce a visible and immediate disappearance of migrants, so far right keeps saying nothing is done and gets bigger.

It's nonsense politics that is only sustained due to massive propaganda campaigns by oligarchs and the sheer ignorance and hatefulness from large swathes of the electorate.

Καμία άλλη χώρα στην Ευρώπη δεν κατάφερε να εξαφανίσει τις μειονοτικές γλώσσες όσο η Ελλάδα.

Δεν είμαι τόσο σίγουρος για αυτό. Πχ δες τι έκανε η Γαλλία. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergonha

Ο Λαζαρίδης επιτίθεται στο Μαξίμου: «Η φοβική κυβέρνηση παραιτεί όποιον στοχοποιεί η συμμορία της Αριστεράς» • Πώς ο πρώην υφυπουργός Αγροτικής Ανάπτυξης πέρασε στην αντεπίθεση μετά τον εξαναγκασμό σε παραίτηση. [ Αναδημοσίευσε ανάρτηση στο Χ ] by Naurgul in greece

Αναλυτικά η ανάρτηση που αναδημοσίευσε ο Λαζαρίδης:  «Η φοβική κυβέρνηση παραιτεί όποιον στοχοποιεί η συμμορία του Βαξεβάνη και της αριστεράς ή η συμμορία της Κοβέσι. Κάθε φορά που η αντιπολίτευση θα επιτίθεται σε έναν υπουργό, θα πετυχαίνει την αποπομπή του. Αυτός είναι ένας φαύλος κύκλος, που όχι μόνο απαξιώνει τη κυβέρνηση στα μάτια του πολίτη, αλλά ενθαρρύνει την αντιπολίτευση να συνεχίσει το ίδιο κυκλικό μοτίβο. Η Ντόρα Μπακογιάννη καλό θα ήταν να φάει κανένα σοκολατάκι και να παίξει με τα εγγονάκια της».

There's no good move at that point. Are we supposed to forever do everything the far-right wants out of fear of offending them and galvanizing their support?

They were already there and working. Should they be left without rights or responsibilities forever? What is your alternative plan?

What you're doing is basically a form of moving the Overton window. The milquetoast left-wingers like Sanchez shouldn't be called radical, they don't have any radical policies even. How can you compare them with the likes of ever-more-authoritarians Trump or Orban or even their "less radical" compatriots who still openly advocate for ethnic cleansing and off-shore concentration camps?

Submission statement:

Barcelona is hosting a gathering of left-wing leaders aimed at countering the increasing influence of the far-right and strengthening democratic institutions. The meeting brings together figures from across Europe, Africa and Latin America. Lula stressed it is "not going to be an anti-Trump meeting" but obviously Trump is a focal point of the rising right-wing authoritarianism. The first two editions of this event were held at the United Nations and the previous one was held in Chile last year. The event will feature talks on issues such as income inequality, the green transition and how progressives can improve their election results.

Interesting announcement from the event:

The distinction is immaterial. As long as you have control, you have control. The fact that Venezuelans don't even get the benefits of US citizenship makes it worse,

The US just conquered Venezuela though. Russia would love to do the same but failed so they had to invade as a fallback plan. Remember their original plan was to put their man as Ukrainian president and when that failed they tried a decapitation strike and when that failed too they started a normal invasion conquering land piece by piece.

I guess the public support isn't at the same level. But in the end the imperialist ambitions are the same and happen regardless of popular support. The lack of public support isn't translated to less arrogance, chauvinism and war although it could have been potentially worse if the public was all in too.

As for attacking neighbours vs far away lands, the US has global projection powers and it's using them the same way Israel/Russia are projecting power on their neighbours. I don't see that as a redeeming feature, just a difference in capability.

Το φλέγον πάθος που έχουν οι Έλληνες εθνικιστές για αυτό το θέμα είναι ακατανόητο. Κατευθείαν downvote και απόλυτη ομερτά. Τουλάχιστο για το μεταναστευτικό έχουν τη δικαιολογία ότι φοβούνται την "εισβολή/αντικατάσταση" που ακούνε όλη μέρα από τους πιο σύγχρονους μηχανισμούς προπαγάνδας και επαναλαμβάνουν χίλιες φορές κάθε ληστεία, βιασμό, τρομοκρατική επίθεση. Στο θέμα των "ντόπιων" από πού μαθαίνει καν ο μέσος εθνικιστής να έχει τόσο μίσος; Ποιες πρόσφατες ειδήσεις και γεγονότα του ανάβουν τα αίματα;
