News that makes you say WTF! (54 Viewers)

[Bjerknes]

Totally agree on the bolded part. This was what the fascist right wing "needed".
But we know a lot now. Internal reports shows that police have been withholding information, cause they are afraid of repercussions against refugees. This also happened in other cities and countries too. Reports from Finland, Austria and Sweden. I think it's a big scandal in Sweden (@Osman), cause it turns out that Swedish police - since 2014 - have been quiet about sexual assault on girls to an annually festival. The youngest girls were only 11 years old. We really have to talk open about these problems.

I'm a pessimist. I think the xenofhobic right wing have won. For the first time in my life, I'm actually afraid of the outcome.

Not being forthright about those issues creates more problems and distrust. Looks like Europe has massive problems on both sides of the political spectrum.

All based on meritocracy, obviously those 62 guys contribute more to the world than the poorest 3.6 billion.

And if you don't share that view, you're a closet communist.

if you share the view that wealth has to be redistributed by the govt you are a communist

Everybody ends up as worm food anyway. Just those 62 may get a longer tour with their heads in an ice box before that happens.

Uuuuhhm no, in communism wealth doesn't really have to be redistributed as the factors of productions are owned by the workers anyways...

No. It's nice to see that the ghost of McCarthy is still haunting you Americans.

Factors being assets, assets being wealth, just a sophist roundabout way of saying what i did

I disagree with your opinion here, but the phrase "redistributing wealth" is really bad. It's like a fancy way of saying stealing.

Most certainly is

But once a communist system has been achieved, wealth wouldn't have to be redistributed anymore.

ya since you cant share what you dont have but the whole communism raison d etre is wealth redistribution

 

[Ocelot]

No not at all

In a communist society, the surplus product simply belongs to the workers. You can maybe say that the surplus product gets distributed to the workers, but never redestributed

 

[Hængebøffer]

That's too simplistic and very unlike you. But the discussion is futile, if you only believe in negative liberty. If we're communists I guess you're advocating a feudal society.

It's appalling to read news like this. Worst thing is how many people that seem to not care. Tax havens
