My grandmother sometimes talked about how some Americans soldiers gave her chocolate when they passed through, sounded like a core memory. They really had close to nothing at the end of the war, so any kind of chocolate was welcome, all the more if it was rich in calories.
I mean, people gotta die somehow. You could flip the map to show percentage of deaths due to cancer, and Romania would probably look quite good.
Incredibly difficult to limit it to five, ask me tomorrow and I’ll probably come up with 5 others. Anyway
Ich bin nicht überzeugt dass die AfD von ihren Wählern als Protestpartei gesehen wird. Es gibt viele Parteien in Deutschland, davon auch sehr viele nicht-rechtsextreme.
Wer die AfD als Protestpartei bezeichnet möchte der Tatsache nicht ins Auge sehen dass 80 Jahre nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg die meisten Zeitzeugen tot sind, und der Rechtsextremismus wieder Fahrt aufnimmt.
Not saying this isn’t true, but there is something that I have often wondered with this reasoning.
There have been some quite powerful socialist states. Sure, fledgeling socialist states were sabotaged by the US and it’s allies. But they were also propped up by the USSR and it’s allies.
So, if external sabotage explains the failure of socialist states, why wasn’t support from powerful socialist allies enough to offset it? And why didn’t comparable interference cause capitalist states to fail at similar rates?
I don’t, there’s a canteen where I work.
