At the end of the day all mass media is owned by one super rich person or another. Or a group of them.

I’m sorry but I never voted for Merkel. Nor any of the other governments that ended up in power.
Overtaking LePen on the right. Yeah right. Funny talk coming from a liberal. How about you get your shitty ass out of here before you “accidentally” empower some fascists again.
I’m more against the right than you could ever dream to be.
Liberal really throwing a fit here. European is European. An European event is by definition for Europeans.
Nice speech, but I do not care.
Yes I’d kick Turkey out too. As much as Turks want to pretend, they’re not European either.
What does that have to do with Xenophobia? You a liberal throwing around baseless accusations?
Not that I care about the political show of Eurovision, but it’s made for Europe. Meaning only Europeans should participate.
Yes
Simply removing them on the grounds of not being European should be easy enough and have happened as soon as they were let it. Same with Australia.
And potentially cause growing class consciousness? Never, better not give those dirty labourers anything worthwhile.
Physical violence is a necessity.
As you noted states can have tools against fascism and other takeovers themselves. Physical violence can be one of those tools first. Historically seen its the most successful tool. Nothing has made more fascists disappear than deadly force.
Simply taking away their platform and organisations is not enough. This isn’t exclusive to fascism, but political movements in general. They will still remain a danger that way. They would still be a threat to real democracies, if we had any, by still being able to abuse and manipulate the system, swindling their way into power or undermining established constitutions, rights and laws. And in undemocratic systems they still can take over simply by corruption, propaganda or working their way up by more honest means.
It has been a while, but look at how in the 89-91 plenty of governments have been overthrown despite banned oppotisions.
Why is the top comment some stereotype trying to explain away the results?
Gotta hope China can actually pull through with the whole road and belt initiative. Otherwise it will be a giant project only wasting billions upon billions.
It’s a lack of wages. Just take a look at youth unemployment in Spain for example. They could move to Germany when ever they wanted. But German workplaces are simply not competitive and pay shit for the expenses you have in Germany.
Awful. We need to curb immigration. Not because of some immigrant bad argument, but because we need an actual labour shortage, which despite media propaganda does not exist yet. A labour shortage will lead to increased incomes and better working conditions if the corrupt government doesn’t bend the knee to corpos again.
As far as the German government is concerned it never denounced or sanctioned Israel over its expansion and repressive politics.
So long as that’s true, Germany does fully stand behind Israel.
You’re the one who needs to read some history books if you think violence isn’t the solution. It’s the only solution that works. Fascists using violence back isn’t a counter-argument. That’s only logical and part of the equation.
But better than for just on the aspect of fascism, I’d really recommend Reflections on Violence by Georges Sorrel, before you condemn violence to be a last resort and inferior to pacifism or civil debate.
No the reason why we got the Nazis in the first place is because liberal institutions allowed them to exist and participate. It was mainly the fault of the German social democratic party.
Violence is how to prevent them. For anything you can criticize the Soviet Union for, any fascist movement there would have been squashed with extreme prejudice. Just like anyone even close to fascism ideologically was terrorised.
As a last resort is too late. If you can use violence successfully, it justifies itself. Waiting for when it’s time for the last resort is too late. You’re not going to stop the nazis in the spring of 1933, you would have needed to kill them in the 20s, a decade before they came to power. The same applies to any political movement.
One side is gonna lose in the end. That is all that matters. The world is ruled with violence. Non-violence only is beneficial to those currently in power.
Basic self-preservation as you put it requires violence. How are you going to preserve yourself when you let people run around who want to opress or kill you?
There’s no way the Mossad isn’t helping them at least to some place right in the middle.
