seems like china’s always making a new deal with a new country
Turns out that’s what happens when the former hegemon gets a bit too big for their breeches and lets the mask slip.
Ah yes, the overtly corrupt populist right, the great partner of a Peoples Republic.
Ah yes, the socialist party SMER is actually far right. 🤡
Oh yeah, I forgot calling oneself a socialist lifts any questions from the western leftists. You can be a corrupt nationalist government, have mafia kill jurnos, all is good.
Do name the right wing policies SMER promotes, I’ll wait.
Just after you name any of their policies without googling it.
so can’t actually name any, thanks for confirming
Ok, honestly I’ve got no patience to pretend that you don’t simply support him for his alignment with Russia/China as if their was any different from US imperialism. He represents (half of) a country in which Moscow used tanks to put down a popular uprising, but is their uncritical servant. Same as his other buddies, stirring up far right talking points in favor of “fortress europe”, against the backdrop of their Moscow handlers and their colony in Bealarus pushing out migrants into swamps and primal forests on the border with Poland and Finland in an attempt at creating a crisis.
We deal with this shit, find dead people in the swamps and bushes, and fight fascists stirred up by these migrations and openly supported by the same people who caused this. Meanwhile you get your edge-lord points for siding with something you consider leftist? or just admire their authoritarianism for whatever reason? I’m pretty sure I’ve encouraged you before; visit eastern Europe, or Russia and confront your imagination with the reality of what things are here.
And there it is, you’re just upset that he wants to stop the war and that people might stop dying.
I haven’t mentioned the war itself, I’ve only mentioned the Russia-manufactured border crisis where Belarusian services starve and force push out people onto the Polish border. That’s what you’re cheering for; using helpless people as meat to throw in a geopolitical grinder.
If you want to have an idea of how it looks there’s a movie our last regime attempted to silence; Zielona Granica / Green Border. Feel free to drop the feel-good ending - there’s none - nowdays, with the new cheerfully liberal regime the activists cant even reach the border anymore as it’s all a militarized zone with hot rounds fired.But on the issue of war - allowing an empire to size territory is not stopping the war, it’s repeating the failed concept of appeasement towards a regime openly discussing it’s imperialist aspirations (and history of long and brutal occupation of the entire region). Anti-imperialist struggles are only good if they are against US, and Slavs don’t deserve their rights to self determination?
Can’t be bothered to look for a similar research for SMER, but when the party members of Polish SLD (Sojusz Lewicy Demokratycznej - same type of post-communist party) were studied they tended to be economically more liberal and socially more conservative then the local neo-cons, and that’s quite an achievement, as these are basically air-dropped chicago-school of economy US made products.
Left wing ideologies have been destroyed in CEE by the soviet fallout. What’s left* are parties cashing in on the nostalgia (/conservatism) and soft authoritarianism with a hint of social policies. By this account Polish PiS (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość) party is also nearly leftist - they had some populist social programs. None of these actually affect the situation of the neglected parts of society in the long term, but the cash giveaways secure the vote, and apparently support from some…*Of course outside of mainstream there’s tiny honest left, socialist or even communist groups, but that’s nothing to do with what passes as the mainstream “left”, most of which is to the right of western centrists.
go home fash
You could ask literally any active polish Antifa who I am, if actually meant anything more than an pitiful attempt at an insult.
Polish antifa have shown themselves to be about as anti-fascist as national socialists.
With what exactly? Your tanki friends getting a slap for breaking the terms they got for joining our action? I’d expect you of all people to understand following a set line and punishing dissenters.
That seems to be the modus operandi, they’re also collaborating with the far right in Hungary and Finland
