Honestly just reading into Operation Gladio is a rabbit hole of its own, and shows the purposeful use of fascists to fight left wing elements in western Europe.

The KPRF is the biggest opposition party and it frequently criticizes United Russia.

Because Israel is committing genocide on live TV while western media pretends it isn’t.

Yep, that’s about right! Media literacy is one of the most important tools in the modern age.

I don’t know what you think, I’m just explaining an example where Russian media is more truthful than German.

Knows what? That Israel is committing genocide in Palestine, aided by the west in general and Germany in particular?

I distrust German media, the BBC, and Russian media similarly. I read news from all over and try to take their source into account. If I trusted German media you’d think there’s no genocide in Palestine, but that’s clearly propaganda. Russian media on the other hand is more honest on that particular topic.

To the point of trusting it and the BBC over anything Russian.

Why do you trust German media so much?

How so? Gotta pay attention to the news to know what’s going on.

Why not all, with a critical eye?

Thanks!

How does, say, China’s model of Whole Process People’s Democracy, a form of democracy based on consultative democracy, flow from classical liberalism? Liberal models of voting for parties or single representatives don’t map at all to China’s form of democracy, yet China is consistently seen as more democratic by its own citizens than liberal democracies are by their own citizens:

These are stark differences and are reflective of Marxism as opposed to liberalism.

Nope, socialist democracy exists and is a break from individualist styles of democracy espoused by liberalism.

Do you think it’s impossible for Russians to tell the truth, ever? Do you do the same for BBC and the New York Times, given how they’ve covered topics like Palestinian genocide?

Labor-power is paid its value, which is the cost to reproduce a day of labor. The problem is that workers work beyond the number of hours needed to do so due to capitalist relations. In other words, a worker sells their labor power for 1 day to earn the ability to survive another day, but the capitalist gets out of it more commodities than the worker needed and thus comes the profit, this surplus value creation. Commodities are sold at their value, not above it, to still make a profit.

Huge simplification though, there exists super-exploitation of the global south via imperialism, there’s also the reserve army of labor and intentional homelessness to force lower wages, and the struggle for higher wages by workers, and much more. Might need to re-read Capital tho, I’ve been focusing on DiaMat and hismat and am a bit rusty economically.

With a more independent Russian economy, with higher trade with China and the global south, and less cheap LNG for Europe?

Landback and decolonization. Because your great great grandparents stole the car, the people it was stolen from have been subject to generational poverty, genocide, and slavery that impacts them today, while you sustain a generational benefit. It needs to be rectified.

Yea I agree!

Thanks for sharing! I’m sure autotranslate doesn’t compare when it comes to prose, but this was still beautifully written!
