I had to deal with the energy shock in Germany after Putin invaded Ukraine. The solution now is the same: buy ourselves out of the fossil fuels trap, says Robert Habeck, former vice-Chancellor of Germany
Then you have learned nothing. The leaders of Europe and the leaders of America are the same people. They run the world. They need you to be nationalists so that you won’t join with the rest of the masses and depose the leaders. European states don’t need to defend themselves from the US. European workers need to dismantle the entire European project and join in the mass movement against the dominators
And here we have the typical .ml take. Europe and the US are not the same people. They don’t run the world. Dismantling the “European Project” would be one of the biggest hits to global democracy today.
And saying Europe is not threatened by the US in its current state is plain wrong. The Greenland affair shows this perfectly.
The US is literally the final torchbearer of the European global empire. From language to food to religion to fashion to architecture to white supremacy to racism to sexism to fascism to banking and finance to agriculture to child-rearing to education to philosophy. It’s the same continuous process. The US broke away from European governance, but not from the historical process of European empire.
Europe has lived off the spoils of 600 years of conquest. It will have to be unwound. The power structures will need to be dismantled. The wealth will need to be rematriated. Truth and reconciliation will be required. And it will hurt, because Europeans have benefited from brutal white supremacist empire for so many centuries that they don’t even recognize it
It’s in Burkina Faso and the AES. It’s in China and Vietnam and the DPRK and Iran. It’s in Venezuela and Colombia. It’s in the global movements for communism. It’s in the local movements for decolonialism, anti-racism, and anti-capitalism.
It’s a movement you have to build in your home country. It’s a movement I have to build in my home country.
If you don’t understand the history of the DPRK as fundamentally a resistance history against US psychopathy, you should read more about it. The Japanese brutally occupied the peninsula. The US took over for the Japanese after they dropped nukes on them. The Soviets and the Chinese, being the long term historical neighbors of the peninsula were ready to help Korea rebuild resist occupation. But the US decided that this could not happen, and decided to bomb North Korea a until there were no more buildings and drop napalm in large strafing runs that forced Koreans to live in caves.
And then the Koreans rebuilt. It’s been what, 70 years? They went from literally completely scorched earth, poisoned land, to an actual function society while under total economic seige conditions from the West.
No sike. The DPRK is a full on resistance history.
I don’t know enough to refute this so I’ll give you the benefit of doubt for now. But then again, North Korea is also a totalitarian state one is not allowed to leave. Hardly a shining example of freedom or whatever.
You should research it if you don’t know any of this. You don’t know anything about North Korea but you feel confident telling me things about it being totalitarian and that no one is allowed to leave? Why do you feel so confident in these things if you haven’t even done basic research on the country?
I’m not saying you’re wrong, mind you. I’m saying that you should reflect on why you feel so confident, despite literally not putting in the work to learn about the place. That would be like me saying I know what it’s like to be Polish when I haven’t spent any time researching their society.
And the reason I want you to reflect on your undeserved confidence is because I want you to see the system of narrative that you live in without ever realizing it. You are raised to believe things that you have made no effort to confirm or deny. This is a problem for anyone.
From 1910 to 1945, Korea was ruled by the Empire of Japan as a colony under the name Chōsen (朝鮮), the Japanese reading of “Joseon”
After the surrender of Japan at the end of the war, Korea was liberated from Japanese colonial rule, but was immediately divided into occupation zones under the rule of the Soviet Union and of the United States.
Do you have any good research sources on this? Because I’m guessing that if I’m looking to change my mind, whatever I found first in the search is the propaganda I’ve based my current opinion on to begin with.

Okay, so… where is this mass movement?
It’s in Burkina Faso and the AES. It’s in China and Vietnam and the DPRK and Iran. It’s in Venezuela and Colombia. It’s in the global movements for communism. It’s in the local movements for decolonialism, anti-racism, and anti-capitalism.

say sike right now

Okay, so I looked up history of North Korea and
So that was a fucking lie (oversimplification at best, and that’s a stretch)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_North_Korea
LOL. That’s your understanding of research?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_under_Japanese_rule
Try harder, please.
I’ll put it on the backlog for when I find the time, I guess.
Do you have any good research sources on this? Because I’m guessing that if I’m looking to change my mind, whatever I found first in the search is the propaganda I’ve based my current opinion on to begin with.
