  • rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.

    Sounds nice in complete void of ideal definition, but even in this sterile ideal you can immediately think that those values are gonna clash, and in capitalism, system which entire reason is maximising profit, naturally the one prevailing over all others is private property. From there we look at our reality and indeed, we see all others trampled, meaningless and being used as fig leaf.



  • French overseas regions are officially part of France, while US except Hawaii are not, so they likely are not counted in this statistics for US. Also the France has 4-4,5% of total population in overseas territories while US have around 1% so their impact in case of France would be also over 4 times greater.

    So it’s most certainly just the good US of A.






  • Look at the Wujek mine riot, miners were attacking militia with sharpened rebars and loudly threatening to lynch the captured militamen, but when single inexperienced detachment of militia which shouldn’t even been there opened fire (and despite entire chain of command from direct commander to minister Kiszczak and gen Jaruzelski absolutely forbidding this) it’s suddenly example of horrible martyrology and one of founding myths of comprador III RP.

    Of course hundreds of workers being murdered in the prewar Poland and dozens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of social murders after 1989 are not mentioned ever.
