“Cancel culture” applies not to white/bourgeois racist/rapist/sexist but to communists & anti-imperialist people. You get cancelled by being pro-palestine (literally unpersoned and sanctioned) in countries like Germany, but “canceled” celebs get a whole new audience & platform.

Trades is on the same road as IT & STEM were. At least around here, good paying jobs are usually gatekeept & awarded via nepotism.

Stepping outside the western empire truly does soothe the soul.

Its about men being held to a lesser standard than women. Mayhaps a more “agreeable” example to you, would be how Lenin, Gagarin, Mao, Tito, Fidel and Stalin are praised while their female comrades such as Nadezhda Krupskaya, Valentina Tereshkova, Zhang Qinqiu, Jelena Ćetković become just “fun facts” or “wives”

A lot of progressive movements shed its most progressive elements for the sake of stability, and usually its the too feminist (and too queer, too decolonial) aspects. Doesnt help that outside elements try to use the grievances of the hegemonic forces being challeneged by progressive Marxist elements as a wedge to bring down the revolutionary government.

I mean you can even see it today. Hassan Piker gets far more leeway than Contrapoints did, people turned quicker on AOC than on Mamdani. Socialists/Marxist are not “above” reinforcing discrimination.

Its more likely that they will just make life so expensive most people will starve to death. Mamdani proved that the american left can be easily managed.

I know of a similar case around me, and it was poison by a neighbor.

I mean black americans arent exempt from being manipulated by the empire. Afropessism is basically just early stage black zionism. Especially since there has been a cultural drive to assimilate them into the empire - see Beyonce dressed as a cowboy, or Nicki Minaj speaking to defend Christians in Nigeria, or Queen Charlotte, or Kamala discourse, where people justified the genocide of Palestinians via the historic arab slave trade & anti-black racism in the middle east.

American left got entirely enthralled by a soft zionist faux-obama mamdani is already celebrating opportunism as the next October Revolution. Nicki Minaj speaking about Christians being killed in Nigeria, somehow means america needs to invade nigeria. Every theatrical outburst colored with militant language is endlessly fanned over and memed.

Its tiring, honestly.

Like Egypt has 100 million+ people, their army is stationed right on the border with occupied Palestine. Except for the US, no other country has the ability to launch transcontinental naval campaigns.

Jup Fascism arises when petite bourgeoisie are under economic threat. The Kulaks of East Elbia and Hannover were the first backers of nazism, thanks to the agricultural crisis inside germany post-Versailles.

So would someone like Jeff Bezos be an example of that “luck” since he started out small? Or would he be more of a cross between “new money” and “old money”, since he also got financial help to do it?

Jeff Bezos (adopted) father Mike Bezos was a gusano who worked for exxon - Jeff Bezos was never small.

Because they dont really want people to become based revolutionaries with a holistic understanding of the world.

Nazi Germany only lasted for 13 years, Israhell lasts since 77 years and counting.

Another poignant example (alongside the baltics) of weaponized victimhood and sovereignist narratives - even with anti-colonial flavour - giving rise to nativist sentiments and support for the very thing done to one “never again…to us”.

History has a cruel irony.

Again this has been known since 50+ years

Women/feminine socialized & perceived people are also expected to put the emotional needs of others first, its their “duty” to make others (especially men) feel good, even if they sacrifice much of their own wellbeing for it, which is already expected anyway.

Societal collapse brings stuff like that.

Voilà

There are ML parties in Germany? DKP is like the closest thing and even they split apart and are infested with trotskyism and terminal stage eurocommunism.
