One of leftist, especially for anarchists, core beliefs is praxis or putting into practice what you preach. I can see where you are coming from, but the interlocutor was literally calling for violence and for himself to raise an army. But when I told him why won’t he do what he says, he basically backed out. That’s not praxis lol.

Yeah, a lot of people are all talk but actually chickens out when you tell them to practice what they preach or help in some way to the cause. I was arguing in an anarchist community why it is a bad idea to fire the first shot and kill soldiers and police, because it makes it look bad on the protestors and it will finally provide reason for the government to invoke the insurrection act. Unsurprisingly, anarchists know little of the practical reality and are too trigger happy baying for blood. When I dared one to go to California and shoot the authorities if they believe that Trump and co. broke the social contract, unsurprisingly he/she made up excuses and chickened out. Said going about on social media and targeting far right leaders is just as effective. Right, as if bullying Trump on social media will make him quit the White House lol.

It reminds me why i am not fully on board with anarchism despite having inherent and deep disdain on authority and hierarchy. Sorry my anarchist friends, but you are just as fantasists as any ideologues. I don’t completely condemn violence when it comes to it, but you don’t get the final sympathy when you break the promise of peaceful demonstrations and kill the authorities first. I mean, the world has sympathy on Syrian rebels, because Assad’s forces fired on peaceful demonstrators first. Many people actually soured on the French Revolution at the time, when The Terror started with indiscriminate executions of many individuals deemed enemies of the revolution. Conflicts are won on public relations as well.

A non-German becoming leader of Germany

Wait, I’ve seen this…

Pretty sure Ukraine and Russia’s citizens did not require visa with each other until the war came.

Because American politicians would rather spend the money on engaging international wars. NASA will only get the funding it desperately needs if one of US’ rivals one up them, like how the launch of Sputnik spurred the race to the moon.

Enclave when?

I guess you are right. It is the local farmers who wants to profit from shortage.

The RMTU in Britain has also been phenomenonal. Their leaders are natural public speakers and could easily shut down criticisms and biases from the media trying to grill them and their strikes.

Well, I called it. People thought Tesla stocks will still recover but so long as he is the CEO, the stocks will only go down.

The old labour became a victim of its own success. As wealth increased, they have had to court the growing, largely moderate middle class in the past thirty years. Although now that the middle class is shrinking but wealth inequality widens, it is time for the left to return to its working class roots.

Only because of de-industrialisation that began since the 1970s and 1980s without offering alternatives. There is a reason for the rhetoric that “the working class have been abandoned” exists.

The French always have the balls. During the yellow jacket protests couple of years back, electric company workers gave away free electricity as part of protest.

America, the only country where they think they could not be any more selfish.

Don’t worry about the Polish right. They are anti-Kremlin since day one. The people in countries that border Russia including Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia are very anti-Russia. So, it makes any political parties from both left and right in those countries also anti-Russia. Being pro-Russia in them is a political suicide (Romania is a different case but that is another topic).

The only right wing you should worry about is the Western right being useful idiots for Russia.

I am not a Pole so I don’t know why you seem panicking and writing a wall of text to explain yourself lol. My guess is that you live in Poland at the moment and I heard that there is ongoing tension with locals after taking in so many Ukrainians. Don’t worry, the Poles won’t abandon Ukraine. Because the good news is that the previous conservative Polish party that ruled Poland for 13 years have always helped Ukraine since the Russian takeover of Crimea. All major parties in Poland are supportive of Ukraine, because most Poles are anti-Russia (not against the Russian people but against Kremlin). Both Ukraine and Poland have a mutual dislike of Kremlin and Putin so your country and Poland will always help together.

I never said I trust Trump or USA. No one said anything about them to begin with.

If you know the politics of Poland, the Polish right-wing are different because they are anti-Russia. Nawrocki being elected will not negatively affect NATO. Judging from your profile, you are Ukrainian so you can relax about the new Polish president. Nawrocki was put on Russia’s wanted list after destroying a Soviet era statue. So he can’t be pro-Russia.

I am talking about conservatives in Poland. Polish conservatives are vehemently anti-Russia so they won’t sabotage NATO unlike Trump or Orban.

If this is not added leverage against Russia on the negotiations in Istanbul, the Ukrainians might be up to something again. It is their MO to wreck the Russian rear before conducting an offensive.
