.@GLBouchez dans la matinale @BelRTL :
🗣️ Je ne fais pas partie de ces Européens qui considèrent qu’on doit aller dans les pays étrangers faire la leçon. Les pays sont gérés de manière différente et je pense que les Occidentaux font souvent l’erreur d’aller ailleurs et de considérer que notre modèle serait le seul applicable, alors que les pays ont aussi des traditions et une histoire politique.
🤝 Plutôt que de donner des leçons, nous devons tisser des relations. C’est un enjeu économique, mais aussi un enjeu de stabilité pour la paix mondiale.
🌍 L’Occident représente une grande minorité. Si, à chaque fois que quelqu’un ne fonctionne pas comme nous, on n’y va plus, on ne va parler avec personne.

@say__shisui@Bouzou_92 Ma copine est Chinoise. On était à un carnaval et un gars de la parade est venu, lui a d’abord demandé d’où elle venait, et quand elle répondu qu’elle était chinoise, c’est la qu’il a dit nihao. Elle a beaucoup apprécié. Le respect, ça ne demande aucun effort.
@rulesofchinese@RlyMakesMeThink@spandrell4 The screening in train stations is incredibly fast, just put your stuff through the scanner and go through. Not strict like airport security
@Hupathia Le passé et le présent son inséparables. Je te souhaite un excellent séjour en Chine riche en découvertes. Sors de Shanghai autant que possible.
@Hupathia Ce n’est pas à nous occidentaux de cautionner quoi que ce soit, surtout en parlant d’un “régime” absolument légitime, fruit d’un combat historique et supporté par l’énorme majorité de sa population.
@joequant I live close by. There’s a huge shopping mall underneath underneath that’s always crazy busy, for some restaurants you have to queue for hours.
@AllbrightNFL@thejohnsonway I’m merely contesting the usage of stage one socialism as it does not apply to the facts on the ground but I see where you’re coming from. I don’t think it’s as bad as you make it out to be but there are indeed drawbacks
@AllbrightNFL@thejohnsonway State control is the overlap but the split lies in whose class interests the state serves. When state power fuses with capital to defend a minority of elites, that is the economic foundation of fascism. The US is not there yet, but it has been drifting that way.
@AllbrightNFL@thejohnsonway Not stage one socialism. This is the corporatist stage of a State in crisis. And given the current political, economical and ideological makeup of the US, this a proto-fascist drift.
@PCOwen_a @vjhakfa The colonial economy was organized to serve European needs, not African development. Investment in infrastructure was built to extract resources and bring it back home such as railways linking straight to ports. Loot.
@Isle_of_dog @vjhakfa Colonial soldiers were required to account for each bullet they used. To prove they had not wasted ammunition, they had to bring back the severed right hand of each person they killed. Cutting hands for failure to meet quota came from that, and absolutely is a colonial invention
@vjhakfa You mistake imperial self-interest with collective balance. They chose Leopold because he promised economic concessions, such as free access for Britain and future territorial control for France. Germany wanted to prevent a British monopoly.
@vjhakfa Enormous amounts of raw materials, cash crops, cheap or forced labor, and land. Far from nothing.
The “balance of power” argument is not even cited by Belgian colonial sources. Léopold’s main motive was personal ambition and wealth.
What book are you reading?
@bartok_mlm@kobasuperfan Again, not for all of the economy, and certainly not for the strategic sectors. As for the land, it remains publicly owned with use rights sold via lease mechanisms. While you can extend a lease, it will never truly be your private property.
