We Need to Stick Together!

Hahahaha Lula da Silva and Gustavo Petro, the democratically elected prime ministers of both countries, are authoritarian figures. Average European lmfao

So when the US trained and armed terrorists all over the world under every previous administration, was it still due to orders to the Kremlin? Or did the Kremlin order the Trump administration to do the thing we've been doing for a century?

Putin: Agent Trump, we need you to genocide Muslims, overthrow governments in South America, prepare for war with communists, and oppress brown people back home.

Trump: Don't tell me how to do my fucking job.

Then maybe obviously I meant it as "authority", not "dictatorship"? What people want versus what the higher ups want. Police is also authority. That word has multiple definitions my dude. Context matters.

Putin also knows how strong Europe would be with Ukraine, which is likely why he is so hell bent on destabilising the bloc and taking Ukraine for himself. The sad part is it seems to be working for him. Even if he doesn't get Ukraine the way he hoped, the campaign to destabilise the bloc is worrying.

so you submit to the empire that rules you…

Authority is a different word from authoritarian, and you clearly used the latter. You're the one bringing up which country does or doesn't support Maduro, so don't try to scurry out of it.

No, I'm organized against without the support or supporting others

Please re-read my comment. I don't know what else to tell you.

There is no definition of "authoritarian" as "authority" in common English language, you're trying to redefine words. The word you mean is "authority figure" or "authoritative".

Ironic comment because almost all anti-EU people in Europe are far-right.

Is this "European imperialism" in the room with us right now?

transition away from the US

And transition to China

you don't have a military

The only leftist ideology that advocates against an active military is anarchism. Anarchists prefer spontaneous militias that activate as soon as another state acts on them. Obviously there are downsides to this practice as 1) gathering up a militia and organizing them can take time away from defending against outside oppressors, which can jeopardize defense in general, and 2) gathering up a militia of normal folk in a society means they won't be actively trained in conducting warfare effectively, or at least not as much as another state that does have an active military - this also represents a lower hand which can again jeopardize defense in general.

Marxist-Leninist communists believe that an active military that trains its population and performs drills regularly is the most suitable defense against capitalist states, since they have their own military doing the same.

Oh yeah and we know they totally stopped after WW2, yup no neocolonialism or backing foreign military occupations. Just look at how Europe is treating the Palestinian occupation, they sent them unlimited weapons very strongly as an act of condemnation. Look their feelings are hurt and that's close enough to real action.

No but its in northern Africa and the Middle East, I have been to Palestine personally. Those starving children don't care that a couple of EU members have strongly worded statements when the weapons flow freely.

I don't care what eurolibs have to say, their actions speak significantly louder

Tell that to the person being "unapologetically socialist" whom I responded to.

Anarchists can't even organize a voting bloc or a civil sector, and they think a militia will spontaneously activate when needed? Oh please.

For the record, I am somewhere on the left of the spectrum. I believe both social democracy and democratic socialism have their merits. I'm definitely not an ML, for various reasons including I believe they're too authoritarian and I find them insufferable.

But I also believe that modern social democracies such as are found in western and northern Europe have societies and ways of life that are worth defending, even if that means fighting for them. With the threat looming to the east, I find it imperative for Europe to fund a strong military coalition/alliance.

Still 2 vs 1.

Having authority over most of the subjects means being an authoritarian figure amongst those subjects. How much of an authoritarian a leader is, is another question. When I said "authority versus people", again, I quite clearly meant voices of people versus voices of prime ministers and presidents who probably have different dealings going on.

The word "figure" plays a rather important role, as I never said "authoritarians".

European values.

That's a myth.
There may be baseline values like, dunno, humanity, other than that you can't have broad common values east to west north to south, countries are too different.

Get a grip.

Get better sources.
