What’s up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?
It’s not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.
Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.
Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?
The EU is subservient to the US, and acts in lock-step. The US has more influence, but the EU depends on imperialism just as much.
USA isn’t imperialist anymore, they are clearly facist.
Eu is far from good, but also not facist yet. Even Hungary and Italy, which are clearly the worst in the EU are not even close to the shitshow of us Since 2016.
Eu still has international rights, EU still has right for asylum EU still has free speech, EU still has sent have kidnappings by state actors, EU still has freedom of press, EU still acknowledges climate change and tries to fight it.
Do I think EU is good? No! Do I think they do enough to protect those things? No! Do I think one should fight for the EU or defend it? No!
Do I think anyone saying EU and murica are just as bad has a smooth brain and clearly never watched news fr 10years? Yes!
Saying facism is the same as capitalism doesn’t acknowledge the new quality the system has.
Its like saying there is no difference between Marx, Stalin and Kim jong un, because they are all socialists and depend on cultural hegemony.
You only seeing black and white and no grey proves my point…
I don’t think you know what imperialism is if you think the US isn’t imperialist. US imperialism is well-documented, it’s the world’s largest empire. The US uses its vast financial capital to dominate the global south and expropriate vast sums of wealth, being fascist isn’t at all incompatible with imperialism.
Further, the EU doesn’t respect international rights, doesn’t have free speech, does disappear political opponents, etc. The only point I partially agree with is that the EU acknowledges climate change, though it doesn’t take it as seriously as the PRC does. The EU still practices the same process of using financial capital to dominate and super-exploit the global south for super-profits.
Fascism is not distinct from capitalism, it’s capitalism in crisis. It isn’t the same as liberalism, but both are linked.
Marx, Stalin, and Kim Jong-Un are all socialists, sure, but none depend on “cultural hegemony,” whatever that means, and all are different people that live in different times, contexts, and countries.
I don’t only see in black and white, I have tried to explain the nuances of Marxist-Leninist perspectives, and again you strawman, caricaturize, and now even deny the US as an empire. Fundamentally you don’t know what you’re talking about, I suggest you take a step back and read.
