But here's the thing Si Bu

#

The Philippines is democratic yes, we have a multi party system yes

#

Pretty good stuff

#

But one problem

#

Elections here are flawed

#

Since the population has a tendency to keep electing the same people again and again

#

Essentialy the political landscape has no competition

#

Democracy only works if it has true competition and properly represents the groups of the nation

#

Vietnam is kind of democratic

#

At least from what I've read

a bit politically i guess

#

representative democracy does exists

#

it's just we are one party state but i don't really mind about that

Nationalism on the other hand is more focused on common ethnicity, culture, or language

valid shell

not the country

#

am i right?

fair hearth
#

Nationalism still calls for loving the country

#

It basically just wants that a common group of people should have a state of their own

im pretty sure nationalism is definitely higher than patriotism in the philippines

Yeah

The real problem the Philippines has is that unlike what the US did to Japan (tearing down zaibatsus and shuffled the nation's policies), they kept old wine in new bottles, keeping their surviving Filipino friends among the national dynasties in power, keeping the Philippines in their well-knit national & geopolitical status quo and umbrella security network

Pretty much what is kept in place exacerbates into competitive mediocrity

former Rhodesia's PM Ian Smith wasn't a bad guy. His action garnered loads of condemnations and controversies, but in the end he knew what he was doing and he did for the good of Rhodesian, all races

eager lodge
valid shell
#

wtf

#

like

#

black majority still had some representations in the society

#

it may not be as prevalent or popular but

eager lodge
#

Ian Smith was a blatant racist that fought to keep an apartheid system with minority rule.

valid shell
#

even in the government there existed some black officials

valid shell
eager lodge
#

When you have laws in place to keep people down solely based on race, and fight bitterly against the world to maintain that system then yes, you are a racist in charge of a racist state.

valid shell
#

didn't i said they had some representation in the society?

eager lodge
#

"I'm not racist, I have black friends"

valid shell
#

in the army

#

in the government

#

what the hell?

eager lodge
#

The Rhodesian government was marked by minority rule. The black indigenous people had no say in government, laws or policy making. It was the white minority population that had full citizen rights and had higher privilege, opportunity and rights than the majority black population.

valid shell
#

it's a white-charged state but how could we tell all black majority are oppressed and stuff?

#

did they genocide black majority?

eager lodge
#

Because they couldn't vote, were not allowed to enter into government, make state decisions, have the same opportunities as the white population, and would not have the same chances or opportunity to attend higher education.

valid shell
#

did they shoot them up and put them in slums?

valid shell
eager lodge
#

Yes, they quite literally placed black people in slums and lower housing.

#

Does it really take a genocide to make someone a racist?

valid shell
#

what the?

#

did you just mute me?

eager lodge
#

It's not the first time you've come here to defend Rhodesia.

valid shell
#

even Ian Smith himself was regarded by many as a controversial figure

eager lodge
#

Being racist would do that yes

valid shell
#

I just bring this up and everybody trynna cancel me

valid shell
eager lodge
#

I am calling Ian Smith a racist.

valid shell
#

oh ok

eager lodge
#

Which he was

valid shell
#

my bad for the misunderstanding

eager lodge
#

Imagine in the 1930s when WW2 had not yet happened, and people came here to say how Hitler wasn't such a bad guy, I mean Jews were still allowed to live and work in Germany, meaning that Nazi Germany was not really a racist state.

#

"did they shoot them up and put them in slums?"

valid shell
eager lodge
#

I think he's getting the treatment he deserves.

valid shell
#

black and white rule is pretty much a sensitive topic

eager lodge
#

It's not a sensitive topic

#

It's a very simple one.

valid shell
#

but just by a few evidence people start calling him bad and stuff

eager lodge
#

"few evidence"

#

As I said before it's not the first time that you come to the server to defend Rhodesia, and you've been informed several times by other people of the racist and discriminatory rules and practices of that government.

#

You choose to ignore it, your prerogative.

valid shell
eager lodge
#

You're trying to convince me that Ian Smith wasn't a racist person, or that the Rhodesian state wasn't a racist government.

#

Going so far even to say that what Ian Smith did was for the good of all Rhodesians....

valid shell
eager lodge
#

By Rhodesians do you solely mean white Rhodesians?

valid shell
#

not Rhodesians

#

if i say Rhodesian people will automatically think of white community

#

so i had to add that line

#

fine can we stop here

What kind of benefit would the average citizen get from such a celebration anyway

#

The way I see it, celebrations are either meant as remembrance or as a mechanism to encourage progress and hardwork

It would be odd if we are to have a single person as the sole foundation for an entire country's memory

#

And more odd if leaders need to have their ego stroked with these celebrations

seems more like a case of authoritarians just picking any convenient ideology at hand

#

he thought of the good for people

but the point here is

#

the ideology he coined focused quite much on collectivization

#

state ownership and basically some sort of

#

"labor by ability, enjoy by demand" policy (this is what i literally translated and intepreted from vietnamese description of his ideal cus idk its true name)

#

but anw

#

i see some signs of it stagnate the economic growth

#

like since it focuses too much on collectivization and people enjoy things but not working hard enough to achieve it

#

the remaining socialist states in the world have also moved pretty much away from original socialism

#

in order to throw open the door for their economy

#

the only country that still maintain true socialism left is cuba

#

Imo, communism is only viable on a small scale with people who all think alike- otherwise it just becomes authoritarian socialism

state ownership of stuff also gave leaders extra power

to which they would abuse

#

that's the critical issue

limpid folio
#

Communism requires everyone to agree to the ideology or else it becomes too authoritarian and open to abuse from the leaders

valid shell
#

considering he had seen too much cruelty and unfairness the workers had in private factories

Gojo should have died in 2006 when Toji stabbed him through the throat.

He pulled some bullshit about how he made "positive energy" to regenerate his body by multiplying his negative energy. But that's not how physics works. Two electrons don't make a proton, they just increase the charge of an anion. So Gojo realistically should have died in that moment because he only made more negative energy.

I think a true commie is wanting to give more respect towards the bottom class. The existence of communist is to let the bourgeois know, "Hey, we are fucking humans." Communist is an extreme form of respect and treatment. A true commie learns from the prior commies and "invent" a new form of commie. Communistic ideas that got delivered about 100 years ago, needs to be adjusted in today's scenarios, which one of my goals

World War One, despite how horrific it was, was always inevitable. And would thrust the world into the new era. And no matter how many times we could prevent it, it was always inevitable.

Emperor Hirohito had nothing to do with Japanese war crimes and fascism in WW2

this has been made clear by the Japanese government in response to a Ukrainian media insult against the emperor back in 2022

eager lodge
#

Sitting back doing nothing to stop fanatics to take over the country and perpetrate some of the most horrendous abuses of human rights, doesn't make you an innocent bystander.

#

He is part to blame for Japan's descent into depravity.

#

He had the power to stop the army from effectively taking over the country, but instead chose to isolate himself from affairs and live in a bubble.

#

He should have been put on trial and forced to abdicate post WW2, but the americans needed him as a way to legitimise their occupation and cooperation with Japan, so they kept him around.

valid shell
#

if we were to blame him we could blame his negligience

#

but that still wouldn't create him a close linking nor engagements in japanese war crimes and fascism in ww2

#

so imo he didn't really have too much thing to do with them at all

eager lodge
#

Not negligence at all, he was aware just chose not to act.

#

He stained the name of the Imperial lineage.

Japan wasn't punished enough post WW2 imo

The fact that they can get away with denying or ignoring their actions in Korea and China, shows it.
