I strongly doubt Virginia is going to go against this ruling. Manafort fucking is a go.

Linke are socdems + demsocs + crypto-MLists…not comparable to neolibs like SPD

To add on my post: They do have a lot of left-liberals/radlibs tho. SJW shit like decriminalizing incest (I'm serious) or enforcing "gender-friendly language"

that's just stupid, but these blokes are probably a very small minority
yeah, this sounds idpol-y, but ultimately harmless and I suppose it just boils down to "I prefer if you refer to me as "she" thanks"

That's was clearly a demon-infested police station you casualries.

Incest should be decriminalized when it's between two adults.

It's nothing but ridiculous bourgeois moralism.

Last time I checked, my plan would kill over half of the USA's population, and then I would have chinese immigrate there. Some dude told me this would be ethnic cleansing. It doesn't matter what it is. Purges be purges.

Predictable.

I had the opportunity to meet with a bunch of Die Linke members when the "rad-left" EU parties' coalition held its annual "summer university" a few years ago in Germoney. TL;DR: they are pure reformists who fetishisize Gramsci (liking his hegemony-theory, while disregarding his communist stance), and Luxemburg (loving her for her criticism of Lenin and disregarding her communism).

So yeah, Die Linke is pure anti-communist trash. (Debate me if you disagree!)

CORRECTION:
Linke is filled to the brim with idpollers who have "solidarity" with the EU periphery's struggle, their socdems are ate best Scandinavian-type idealists (wanting to bring back the good ol' times), "demsoc" don't real, and their "crypto-ML" is idpol too.

Good luck with you radical party, you brainwashed moron.

YEEEET

why did you have to call me a moron you fag :DDDD.

you think i think they're some sort of vanguard party? lmao. of course they are idpol. what the fuck do you expect in the year 2018

They really aren't any legit sources, what do you expect? Just google Falun Gong and see for yourself.

The CPC is scared of any ideology besides their own messed up version of socialism with Chinese characteristics arising in the country so they are doing everything they can to stop the spread of other ideologies/religions (Chinese folk religion was very taboo up until the last decades, their control of Christianity etc.). So Falun Gong was another movement that they stopped in their tracks. And I wouldn't put it past Chinese bureaucrats organ harvesting undesirables. It wouldn't be the only fucked up thing they do (see Xinjiang).

That being said, my Chinese ex who lived in China most of her life told me Falun Gong went around from village to village to obduct children and shit lmao. I didn't know whether to believe her or whether it was just an urban legend or CPC propaganda. To me it seems like a relatively harmless sect. The problem for the CPC appears when the sect weaponizes their clout politically (see: Gülen movement in Turkey for an example of something like that happening).

...

cuckdems are shit, no matter when

there are genuine socialists in the party, but they are in the vast minority. a lot of the younger members are "Le Epic Rosa le gramsci jacobin reading group LGBTQKIA+ :DDDD"-types and a lot of the old ones (they're dying away though) are GDR nostalgics

You're not getting my point. What I'm saying is that it is not a surprise that a party in Germany of all places in the year 2018 is not socialist.

i am getting your "point"
you're just repeating what i've just been mocking
we got KPD and DKP

unfortunately they are super irrelevant. i don't see how the socialist movement in germany can gain steam atm.

As I thought, your foolish ass hasn't read any books, but it is arrogant enough to pretend as though it can judge whether someone is a radical. You suck.

And you are a coward, you jewish whore. I'll se that your mutt ass is branded with Mcdonald's trademark.

Is this some sort of new Zig Forums falseflagging?

Kill yourself

More than likely. Zig Forums is against Net Neutrality, hence why they shilled hard against it over on half-chan & on here as well.

Zig Forums would jump off a bridge if they their orange daddy told them to.

muh poor ISPs, why wont anyone think of AT&T and Verizon

Almost the entirety of China consist of reactionaries these days. There are the most xenophobic, nationalistic and superstitious people I've met in my life.

Now that's what I call lefty unity.

Yet still going nowhere fast. Meaningless theater.

Why didn't a mob string him up?

What here matters? Trump is getting everything out of it that he wants. Israel has a blank check for war and he has a blank check for protectionism against EU area economies. This whole situation benefits him even if it burns down the past forty years of American foreign policy. Such is Trump's nature and is why both parties tried to stop him.

Also Americans never asked for or wanted an empire, it was just a thing demanded of them following WW2 to prevent WW3. As the people who can remember WW2 are largely dead now, the era of America as a global police force is coming to a close. This will become more obvious as the situation in Iraq and Iran continue to break down due to the growing Israel-Iran crisis.

Why would they? Nobody in the south likes Mexicans. Blacks consider them racist (because most Mexicans are) while whites consider them pawns of the Democratic party. Only Cubans and Puerto Ricans are tolerated and only because they have a shared colonial history and plantation aristocracy.

And where stock market bubble bomb on pic?

it wouldn't make sense because the stock market crashing wipes everyone regardless of nationality

American elites still want the US empire, no one gives a fuck what the people do or don't want. I can't see the EU sticking their necks out for Iran, it's just not worth it.

American elites are also divided between globalist and nationalist ones. The latter are winning because they're able to play the national security card while globalists don't have any space to stand on outside of huge global cities like LA or NYC (not Chicago, though). This shitstorm will become more obvious as the Iraqi government lists and collapses, where America will be expected to pick up the pieces with a new invasion but won't especially if Iran collapses too (say due to Israel bombing them). Tens of millions of displaced people will then find themselves on the borders of Turkey and the shores of Greece.

Everything is just going to burn.

Germany is gung ho for the Iran Deal so the EU is too. Remember who the EU's master is and who actually controls it through the banks.

I seem to have forgotten, please tell.

I was only 19 years old.
I loved Žižek so much, I had all the books and films.
I pray to Žižek every night, thanking him for the knowledge he's given me. “Žižek is love” I say, “Žižek is life."
My dad is Jordan Peterson. He hears me and calls me a cultural marxist. I knew he was just jealous of my devotion to Žižek.
I called him a pseudo-intellectual.
He hits me and sends me to sleep.
I'm crying now and my face hurts.
I lay in bed, really cold. I feel something warm…
It's Žižek! I was so happy.
He whispers in my ear an obscene joke.
As I laugh he grabs me with his slavic hands, and puts me on his lap. I'm ready.
I am all ears for Žižek.
He penetrates my mind and expands my view on the current predicament.
It hurts so much, but I do it for Žižek. I can feel my neoliberal illusions shattering and my eyes starting to water as i am picturing future authoritarian regimes in the west.
I want to revitalize the left.
He sniffs a mighty sniff as he fills my young mind with his wisdom.
My dad walks in.
Žižek looks him straight in the eye and says,
"We are approaching a catastrophe."
Žižek crushes him in a debate and leaves through my window.
Žižek is love. Žižek is life.

Berlin of course. They're the EU's largest economy and have the largest banks who finance bonds issued by the ECB and ESM. It's why Eurobonds don't happen even though it's the only way the EU can survive, because German voters don't want them as they don't want to subsidize economies other than Germany.

Dude, you realise this could lead to the breakup of NATO, right? The EU (including the UK it seems) directly contradicting US foreign policy. I don't think I can name an example of this happening on such a scale since WWII.

I'm well aware. But NATO too is an outdated tool with a defunct mission, one which only the GI generation can really appreciate. Since all those people are dead it's only a matter of time until NATO drops too. A combination of Germany not meeting the 2% threshold (a big deal for America's military) and a potential new EU security pact will probably render it gone within the next decade or so. Despite all the recent love for it in the Trump administration, the military itself won't see a point continuing NATO if a substitute already exists and nobody wants to meet the funding requirements. Individual treaties with Ameriboo Eastern Euro countries can still be made if need be.

Operation Enduring Freedom aka America invading Iraq in 2003. Unlike the American invasion of Afghanistan the only countries willing to openly side with America was the UK, Australia and Poland. This is where Bush's "don't forget about Poland" comment originates. The break between mainland europe and America has been a long time coming. Brexit was England deciding which side they want to be on and (like Australia and Canada) they cast it with America not Europe.

The nationalist ones still want the empire. They're not isolationist or paleocons. They're the same as the "nice guys" but with the mask off.

So basically it won't happen. Unless of course, the EU links up with Russia and China, and it's America that is the isolated party. Not likely but some people in the EU want it.

Poland joined in because they were promised immediate free movement to the UK in return

Time for Socialism with Himalayan Characteristics

You're confusing American Imperialism with European Imperialism. American Imperialists don't give a shit about the old world, and only care about Asia insofar as it being a potential threat. American nationalists will happily tread all over Mexico and South America. But maintaining such a huge presence in Europe, the middle east and Africa is largely seen as an unfixable, neverending quagmire that saps money that could go into oppressing the new world.

In the grand scheme of things it's not a huge division but it's one with practical consequences. For example if Mexico's AMLO is assassinated by the ruling party America will have to intervene in the ensuing civil war. Puerto Rico needs a bunch of cash to become a state and should Cuba do something not nice the military needs enough of a cash reserve to invade and "liberate" it. The money to do these things has to come from somewhere, using existing equipment that is currently parked in Europe or Iraq is an expedient solution.

Pic related, it's their thought process. Notice how China is included on the periphery but Africa, the middle east and Europe aren't thought of at all because American nationalists don't consider it their domain unlike the spanish world.
