Well, where is the solidarity as they always chant "Hoch die internationale Solidarität" but when it comes to Venezuela all those social democrats aren't saying a word. So I upvote this post in solidarity to you only. I still support worker's rights and basic income and I think that this is socialism and not a "junta" which thinks people can get paid and make a living with toilet paper instead of money. I even know people who bought coffee from the zapatistas because they think that they support human rights and a better living for people there in Mexico.
Oh yes, their solidarity is not with humanity or with the poor suffering people... their solidarity is with their political party. That's why they keep supporting these gangsters at the Venezuelan government.
Yes, I understand your view. Some years ago I also was a strong supporter of the left side.
Not everything is bad among those groups. Some of them have good intentions. But their core belief is very dangerous. Their core belief is the absolute control over society... their forced equality.
As Camilla Vallejo (a communist deputy in Chile) said in recent days, about the plans of the leftists in Chile "I prefer everybody to be poor, as long as they're equal..."
Okay, control and freedom are a contradiction because to guarantee freedom you have to control which ... So in order to be a socialist it is not necessary to govern a country. Again I wrote about party loyalty (Linientreue) in my article "Ist die Venus links von der Mitte ..." (is the planet Venus left from the middle ...) . People are facing hard facts and that can't be solved with fiction.
Yes, that's right. That's a big contradiction that keeps beating our lives everywhere. They don't care about freedom. They just care about control.
