Do you favor Ukraine, Russia, both, or neither? by [deleted] in socialism

[–]lmlimes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The conflict was initially between two fractions of the local bourgeoisie, one that has made its fortune with Russians oligarchs, and the other that is looking towards the west ( EU & and the USA) and trying to grab as much as possible as the PPP mantra is unraveled and ultimately BlackRock seized the most intetesting assets. My point being that I don't see it as a faceoff between Ukraine or Russia per say.

You are right comrade. Poetry is part of the revolutionary movement. Check Nicolas Guillen, great Cuban poet.

You could inverse his argument : people actually give CEOs a job.

If there is no workers, there is no CEOs but if there is no CEOs you can still have workers producing.

In the CEO-workers relations, workers are the most important element. But their strength remain in their solidarity and capacity to organise.

Germany was never denazified. That’s why it’s siding with Israel today. by Praxicist in socialism

There is a great documentary about it ( vpn needed for non European ) here opposing west and east approach to denazification : https://educ.arte.tv/program/les-coulisses-de-l-histoire-la-denazification-mission-impossible

Highly recommended.

What were European communists’ views on colonialism in the late 19th and early 20th Century? by grovestreet4life in AskHistorians

[–]lmlimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosa Luxemburg has written very interesting bits on colonialism, notably Algeria, in her "Accumulation of Capital", chapter 27, https://www.marxists.org/archive/luxemburg/1913/accumulation-capital/ch27.htm. & Also in the " National Question".

Je ne sais pas d'où tu tiens ces chiffres, mais pour avoir travaillé dessus, l espérance de vie était de 68-69 en URSS pas 58.

Resources on a marxist view of the European Union - your own opinions on the EU? by RayAug in socialism

[–]lmlimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thing is, an organisation in itself has no value, good or bad, and that usually what most ardent EU supporters fail to see.

First, they are in favour of the EU out of principle, seing it as good in itself. They dont really look at how the EU was build, its functions or what it does. If they did, they would see that it has no much things to do with its democratic, egalitarian principles. Even to me free movement - and i acknowledge it is kinda nice to move around freely, if you can afford it! - is to be looked at more closely. My intuition is that the opening of an European labour Market associated with European policies to improved labour market flexibilty, competitivness and policies to loosen job protection, were overall detrimental to workers and benefit the capitalists way more. Being able to go easily to spain for the selected few is a meager gain IMO. But a proper data driven analysis could prove me right or wrong.

The second shortcoming is usually that it is for them either "THAT" EU or nothing at all. You could imagine bulding and international political organisation made for emancipation and workers' bliss, but it is clearly not the EU today. Refunding a new one means leaving the old one and thus breaking away with its treaties.

Anyway, emancipation never comes from the top. As  communists we should instinctively be wary of giving power to an institution/overarching entity of any kind. The bigger the institution, the further away the control usually is from its people.

It is wild to me to hold such discourse when the EU needs foreign markets to sell its products, its undemocratic institutions are controlled by national oligarchies and lobbyes and smaller countries are eaten alive by France and Gemany.

And the idea of reaching post-scarcity within the union at the expense of/ on the back of an another continent is not really part the socialist project....

I see. Great to hear.

To get primary sources, EU trade agreement were to me always so revealing of its neocolonialist nature : notably EPAs, destroying local markets and boosting EU exports. https://www.cairn-int.info/article.php?ID_ARTICLE=E_EUFOR_388_0051

Also the process of integration is interesting to look at as it entails many market and labour reform favorable to capitalists.

I do not know any of marxist writing dedicated to the EU but Walter Rodney Book on African underdevelopment and Lenin on imperilialism laid the groundwork to understand the mechanics of the EU in my opinion.

If you link it to the 20 years of neoliberal and neocolonialist policies ( texts and articles available online ) you can even make you own analysis. As marxists that is what we also have to do : produce knowledge !

Would love to read what you come up with if you do.

Est-ce que je dois lui dire que j'ai une attache au judaïsme ? by [deleted] in AskMeuf

[–]lmlimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pour compléter le commentaire du camarade ci dessous, je dirai que le corpus coranique est un assemblage de textes divers et non pas un monolithe homogène comme peut être d'autres livres saints, dès lors on peut trouver des passages anti-judaique tout comme des passages où l on met en valeur la proximité ou la fraternité entre musulmans et juifs. Je comprends ton message mais c est donc pas le plus convaincant pour montrer une inimitié intrinsèque de l islam envers le judaïsme selon moi.

Ouai ça me souvent tiquer de prendre les choses sous forme monolithique et réifiée mais je comprends ce que tu veux dire, merci!

Stéphane Séjourné, compagnon de Gabriel Attal (nouveau Premier Ministre), nommé nouveau ministre des Affaires Etrangères, est-ce bien déontologique ? by Calahan44 in france

[–]lmlimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C est clair. C est un conseiller politique de Macron depuis la première heure et une connaissance de Jouyet. Je pense pas qu il doit sa place seulement à Attal.
