The West definitely isn’t more tolerable idc what people say but I’m disappointed with Eastern Europe and surprised by the Balkans. Europeans are just hateful ass people, they even hate their neighboring countries. No wonder that peninsula has been at war for most of its existence.
But I hope things improve with Eastern Europe. I’m learning more about the Balkans, Serbia seems like a really nice country and I’m even thinking about moving there. I asked DeepSeek what’s the best country for a 3D Generalist to move to and it said Poland and The Czech Republic. But I’m Black and I already deal with rampant anti-Blackness in America.
Generalizing certain people does not help the situation at all and has been the reductionary strategy of most governments and churches. Class struggle in part means understanding that you have a lot more in common with fellow workers of another country or continent than your own government. Leaving out differences in culture, people from the balkans are no more or less aggressive and hateful than british or russian people.
People are always subject to their material conditions. Currently, people are being actively driven towards hate by a multi billion dollar propaganda machine consisting of all media. There is no escaping that for the vast majority atm.
That is of course not to leave out the systematic and individual hate that ethnic minorities, especially poc have and are being subjected to. It is an ongoing an necessary effort to divide the working class and keep it from challenging power. The ruling classes really learned from the octorber revolution and are working overtime to keep it from repeating. Futile in my opinion but we’ll see.
Which peninsula do you mean has been at war for so long?
Leaving the imperial core, especially as an obviously marginalized minority is a great idea if you have the means. I do however not have any insight in the reality of black people in the us so i cant say if there is any chance at organizing atm and how dangerous that is. It does look like it is really dangerous though.
People keep recommending ireland to me since they have a solid stance on palestine and keep resisting the brits. Do not - i repeat - do not go to germany at this point. I do think that the best bet in general today would be china but its gonna be rough from the amount of change (language, culture, far away, etc.)
Generalizing white people dies not hav the same impact as them generlzing us. Other than that I agree.
Racial chauvinism is a remnant of cannibalism and needs to be exterminated, as our dear comrade once wrote.
And while it is understandable for historically and acutely oppressed people to feel hate or bias against their oppressor, conquering our own biases and blind spots is our challenge as marxists.
A white disabled person will still be oppressed, white women are being oppressed, the irish, who are white, have been brutally oppressed and massacred by britain.
There is nothing to gain from generalizing and the argument that generalizing poc has a different impact than that of white people does not hold weight on its own. Of course poc are more oppressed than white people, but a black man will on average be less oppressed than a black woman, etc. But as you see, this only drives the working class against each other. It is class struggle first and foremost and minority struggle alongside it, not before.
