I don't think fascism means having your economy turn inwards lol otherwise that means like every sanctioned country is

True. Do you think it’s a mostly cultural thing, citing @cloud_rap saying how it’s light on theory

Fascism is capitalism in decay but it appears when the national bourgeoisie feels threatened by the proletariat so they strike a deal with the fascist element (who often stem from the petite bourgeoisie and military)

Russia is only threatened by foreign bourgeoisie, not its own proletariat, that's a big difference

The targeted harassment is insane too, whenever I cross the Bulgarian border I get either asked for some money or they make me open and empty my suitcase

And this is the case with a lot of people lool.

At this point I'm fairly certain nobody wants to get into EU rn,especially because we've been lied to by the West for the past 10 years.
The name change was supposed to be the last hurdle but lol.

Balkan politrix are soul crushing,thats why we have a record population moving out right now

What do u like about Hoxhaism in particular?

Imagine if germany tried to come out and say that they weren't part of the Axis powers loool, thats what they're essentially doing

angela davis doesnt belong in this since shes a federal agent

What is the view on Tito there? I suppose Macedonians dont really miss him

Bernie is on there too

The Ukraine war led to a lot of hidden Nazi rehabilitation in Eastern Europe

Younger people and millennials dont really care about him, some actively dislike him, tho there is a whole wave of yugo nostalgia from older folk,everyone says they lived better lives back then.

The economic situation is DIRE right now so I don't even blame them tbh,I'm sure life was better then

U still in Skopje or u been braindrained too into Germany etc?

Its spooky man,they are doing it with no shame and there is zero action from the West

That Von Der Leyen lady keeps dodging the issue CRINE

Still here, finishing up college cause its cheap, but planning to move on somewhere in Europe sooner or later.

Not gonna be Germany tho,been debating whether to go Ljubljana or somewhere in the Netherlands.

But yeah the way people are moving out is crazy,but fully understandable,the situation is just...man

Idk tbh I'm not good at cultural a***ysis. I agree with the usual description of Fascism as an authoritarian response to an acute economic crisis that uses people who react to it in a reactionary way as its social base to crush any labor/left wing movement thats seeking a solution which would jeopardize capitalism. I think psychology and cultural a***ysis can probably tell you why a lot of regular people react to it in a reactionary way (ex: let's invade another country, let's kill all jews, etc) but Idk anything about those fields.

Dont come to Germany unless u got family here

Here's an interesting question: I wonder if the Little Ice Age contributed to the French Revolution

I don't know the language and I have no one there so I'd be starting from scratch.

Have some fam in Ljubljana,and the whole country is gorgeous,just visited recently.
I'm sure they have issues too but I'll take them any day.

I've heard that Germany isn't too kind on EE refugees,is that true?

Before the French Revolution, extreme drought caused a 20% decrease in yields

imo one of the best/most successful implementations of centralized and meaningful left policies in an independent post-war country while balancing foreign relationships and concepts in a manner far better than NAM countries tried to do. when i think "post-catalyst leaders who actually successfully led beyond just making cool contributions to theory" i think Hoxha in a similar way to Ghaddafi. I don't agree with everything he did and I understand most criticism of him but his contributions to the country were insane in a short period of time. It's not like Tito where it was just like IMF LOAN IMF LOAN IMF LOAN IMF LOAN, he basically made Albania self-sufficient in a very short period of time while also modernizing the country which is very impressive and something few other leaders have done.

I mean white christian macedonians prolly wont have many problems

loool yeah you're prolly right, but I got fam who say that there is a significant divide and "discrimination" even for them.

Shoutout to Hysni Kapo fella always had a cool name

Im a minority so Im used to it

If u've been a majority all ur life then slight racism might seem very bad

It's all a bit relative

IDK how Slovenia is for Macedonians i dont think yall have any beef right?
