>fundamental part of leftism>fundamental part>of leftism>leftismI wasn't aware "leftism" was a theory current that has fundamental parts to it. You retard mods think that cleaning shit off of an imageboard is the same as reading theory. It is obvious whoever wrote that shit is an idiot who doesn't understand the fundamental of Marxism. There are no Robinson Crusoe "individuals", people are socially determined, you literally wouldn't be you without society. Rights don't exist, read Marx. There is no such thing as free will, there are no "own" wishes.

I mean, Jews were hated because they made themselves richer for giving a shit about interests on loans. The New Testament forbid that, and that's one of the reasons Jews are hated, but that doesn't mean they are evil per se, nor that the Semitic origins of Marx, Trotsky, etc. are evil and make it a bad thing for communism. Precisely because Marxism cultivates the idea of a fairer world, so kudos for Jews having this breakthrough in a shifting philosophical view, I guess?
Filth comes when you make the Jews the center of all evil. I do not see the conception of communism as something evil, but as the superior philosophical and final productive form the human society can evolve.

"they really hate my darling brie.
So from day one, year zero, the 2016 bernie campaign, the level of pure liberal rage against brie has been surprising and remarkable. The bitter rage expressed about her by black and white liberals has far outweighed anything expressed about her on the right.
Reddit has a constant, hardcore cohort that will reliably comment negatively on every episode of the pod. Sure, the Virgil catfishing and subsequent collapse didn't help, but the pattern of constant comments is remarkable.
I had put it down to khive or ctr types, probably well funded, picking on an obvious scapegoat to improve their ladies' chances.
Then, in the space of a couple of weeks, masongate gets exposed and brie has grayzone-associated journalists on her pod to explain the reporting.
Then ben norton appears on the pod.
Now I hear that Bad Faith has a parody pod, whose reach will no doubt be heavily amplified.
If you were brie, considering the history of state action against black left figures and the masongate revelations of open season on anything grayzone related, what message would you take from the timing of the appearance of this parody pod?"

>to act as controlled opposition against the SovietsSoviet Union took loans from the West too, they were Western puppets all along!
>and once the Soviets were destroyed the funding dried up and the IMF called it in. >funding dried upIn 1991, Yugoslavia's debt was less than 15% of its GDP. The states that replaced it have debts five times as large, each, totaling 70-80% of their GDP. You're right, Stalinist, free market economies based on tourism, selling off of state assets and industry, and import of everything beat regulated/planned economies manufacturing goods, developing industry and export! Thanks for that insight.
>Anyone praising Yugoslavia is brain dead. Anyone hating Yugoslavia is a nationalist and/or fascist.
>all other blame can be laid squarely on the Yugoslavians themselves.<Communism is about suffering, and not listening to corrupting rock music, not leaving the country and living in soulless commie blocks. Any people who desire anything but barrack communism deserve to be destroyed!Seethe and cope, Stalincuck.

>huge foreign debt As I said before, it was less than 15% of GDP at its peak in 1991, hovering at ~5-10% for rest of the time. Why aren't ex-Yugoslav countries collapsing from debt when it's 80% of their GDP?
