Everyone has heard by now about the far-left party, the direct successor of the East German communists, winning last Sunday’s Berlin elections. But do you also know their official program? Let’s take a look:
• Overcome capitalism via “democratic socialism”: nationalize energy, banks, infrastructure and housing firms
• Long-term legalization of all drugs
• Dissolve NATO, ban conscription
• Wealth tax: 1% from €1m, 5% from €50m, 12% from €1bn
• Top income tax rate of 75%
• Nationwide rent freeze/cap
• Sanction-free basic income for everyone
• Broad asylum, work from day one, regardless of legal status
I am not joking, that’s their official program. Can you imagine the consequences for German economy and society if even half of this gibberish was implemented?
“Hitler wasn’t a socialist because he persecuted other socialists.”
By the same logic, Stalin and Mao weren’t communists because they persecuted other sects of communism.
Because you can't blame the west for it. Because russian and Chinese propaganda didn't tell people to be outraged about it. Because it doesn't fit the typical "White Christian oppressors vs their brown and black Muslim victims" commie narrative
It gets worse: if you examine the farmer productivity statistics, the current attempts at expropriation without compensation of Afrikaner farmland will, if followed through on, starve South Africa
When this happened to Zimbabwe, famine resulted in the former breadbasket of Africa
It would be even worse now, as there are no longer successful countries nearby to step into the breach...it's the last one left, in many ways
Pray this doesn't happen
These people genuinely think that if something is “racist” that automatically makes it untrue.
The ultimate argument winner, just decry something as racist and you automatically win.
The mind of a child.
By this standard, government subsidies don’t magically become “capitalism” depending on who receives them.
When government subsidizes industries socialists approve of, it’s called public investment or social policy. When it subsidizes corporations they dislike, suddenly it’s capitalism.
The contradiction gets worse: when socialists are prevented from taking someone else’s property, they recognize capitalism as the system protecting that property. When their own property is taken to subsidize someone they dislike, they blame capitalism for the violation.
Apparently capitalism is both respecting property rights and violating them, depending entirely on whether the socialist likes where the money went.
That isn’t a serious definition of an economic system.
The United Nations is such a joke
The US funds 22% of it's budget but the organization is hijacked by 3rd world countries who contribute almost nothing
Fun fact, under Britain’s original Mandate Palestine post WW1, 77% of the land was partitioned and given to the Arabs. That land was called…Jordan! And they specifically did not make a Palestinian state.
Then they conquered the West Bank after the war in 1948/49 and annexed it, but left the Palestinians as refugees and not Jordanian citizens. They also didn’t make a separate Palestinian state after the PLO was found in 1964.
Then, when they lost in 1967, they took Palestinians living in Jordan with Jordanian citizenship and REMOVED THEM from citizenship. Kicked them out!!
So, ya, King Abdullah II can f*ck right off.
NB: in the 1990s, no demographic was more supportive of Western intervention to protect Bosnian Muslims than Jewish intellectuals ... no good deed goes unpunished
It’s truly amazing that there’s not a single centrist European politician who is willing to say
“okay let’s at least deport and ban future migrants from Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Morocco, and Algeria, the five countries whose citizens we know to commit the most violent crimes, and continue to allow the rest of them in”. They’re not even willing to do something as simple and easy as that!
Interesting. When discussing Ghana, you explicitly describe yourself as “someone with Ghanaian heritage” and cite your father and grandfather.
When discussing England, ancestry disappears and the test becomes birth, schooling and customs.
Why the different rule?
