First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

• Martin Niemöller

Attacking communists is the first step. That’s where the line needs to be drawn. Not an inch to fascism.

There is no USSR this time around though. China’s foreign policy is pretty much hands off, see e.g. the attacks on Iran and Venezuela that are going to tank chinese investment there, but all there is are strongly worded letters.

As the rate of profit continues to fall the US will start to strip the copper from the EU, fund fascist parties and as we have seen they will kidnap a president that isn’t sufficiently compliant. How much respect they have for european countries sovereignty we can see here. On top off this, once Ukraine officially loses, fascists might blame us and start terror attacks as well. Future in europe is looking pretty grim I’d say.

in that case money itself is tangible and can be valued against itself. You are confusing exchange value and use value. Money has an exchange value, so does gold, oil or any other commodity. But unlike money they also have a use value.

I mean I dont have that kind of money and if I did it would go to Palestine but Italy seems weirdly expensive when you have romania right there.

Italy?? Half life was inspired by eastern european aesthetics, the Ukraine more specifically. There’s a colonel Odessa for crying out loud.
