@SaaErDetNok 3 года назад

@@jbm0866 I think that the USA is the *only* nation in the world, where the term "socialism" is used as a synonym for communism. In all of Europe "socialism" denotes the general idea, that the state should be agent of social equality. Now, of course, there is plenty room for dissent and argument there (as indeed the realities of European politics affirms). One may have different views on social equality, and one may have different views on the states role in social equality, or social justice. Yet, you will find very few European societies, that absolutely refuse the state a role in social (equality) issues, and few that are unwilling to engage (even if only in a limited capacity) in policies compatible with socialist ideals. (Hence, for example, the predominance of free education all the way up to tertiary education in most of western Europe.) In other words; your statement about socialism only makes sense, if one accepts the understanding of socialism, that is only used in US popular political language.

Then we hear from conservative talk-show hosts that systemic racism does not exist. Then republicans wonder why their kids don't want to grow up to be like them. They blame the "woke" media and universities for teaching their kids the morals they sure didn't learn from home.

Suppressing Votes and voters, Suppressing your right to protest about that, and Suppressing your right to even learn about slavery in schools. This is the GOP’s Coup, by other means. It’s all blatantly Unconstitutional, but knowing that isn’t enough. You are fighting the rise of Fascism in America, people. You had better fight it with everything you’ve got. You can be certain they will. You didn’t pick this fight, but not one of you dare ignore it, or you’ll be as culpable as the Vichy French. It’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility.

The USA never really dealt with racism. It was allowed to continue beneath the surface. The GOP has discovered it, and made it respectable again. Underneath it all was a misplaced leniency towards slave owners in the aftermath of the Civil War, and the re-branding of the Civil War as a fight against "Southern" values and way of life (the southern identity), instead of for slavery. The South play victims instead of the aggressors of the Civil War. But in my history books, it were the Confederates who acted aggressively and fired the first shots, taking over Federal forts like Fort Sumter with violence. If the fight had really been north against south, you would have expected the North to be the first to move aggressively. That proves Southern aggression was not to defend a "way of life", which no-one can take from you, but the right to keep slaves. That same lie is being used to foment violence and aggression to this day.
