I made it to one of their shows here in the US earlier this year, definitely go if you can! They're playing in August in Berlin with another band I love, but sadly that's a little too far for me to travel just for a concert
I took issue in the first place because you seemed to imply that what Russia is doing in Ukraine is okay because it's specifically annexation, and not some other flavor of invading and taking over someone's country, and I'm opposed to that regardless of what one calls it.
Buddy, I'm not going to defend the actions of Western powers during the build up to World War II. I agree with you that an antifascist alliance should have been formed and could have stopped Hitler much sooner and with much less death.
I do find it interesting that the article you provided makes no mention of Soviet annexation (Imperialism? Colonization? Liberation? Let me know which hyperspecific term for invading another country I should use) of the pre-Brest-Litovsk territory they lost.
Yep, that's why Hitler is regarded as the ultimate evil, the settler colonialism.
The Anschluss and the annexation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia were both justified under the guise of protecting and uniting ethnic Germans in the regions, Hitler even said he'd totally, for realsies stop after that. But I wouldn't expect .ml'ers to care about anything that happened before the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact broke down.
Right? November 6th, every American leftist should have immediately started gunning down Trump voters in the streets, that would have solved everything
"Nah bro, we just need to let the fascists exterminate one more vulnerable group and the workers will rise up and form my version of a leftist utopia, just one more group, I promise, you just gotta read more theory if you don't believe me"
I've blocked more people on here for their accelerationist bullshit than for anything else. At least the fascists will tell me to my face that they want to see me dead.
Genuine question, do other countries refer to their current government as "this administration" or "the [leader] administration"?
In my exposure to non-US political discussions, there seems to be more reference to the majority parties or coalitions, where that's more important to politics than it is in the US with our far-too-powerful executive branch
