Our whole thing is we want wealth equality but also a little bit of revenge for the centuries of exploitation carried out by the imperialists. It does not help our cause when we say that we want to get rid of peoples cars, animal proteins, generational wealth, etc and that we want the people that have been historically exploiting the rest of humanity should be the first to give up the treats. We cannot expect people to accept their own loss of privilege for the “greater good”, physical force would cost way too much, we need to lie. We need to promote a watered down version of leftism to white men because they benefit from capitalism 9/10 times.

    I'm not sure that's going to work.

    Don't worry, quality of life is going to plummet in the west anyway, then we will be able to reach these kids

      If they do a Lebensraum then it might not. If killing a billion people improves their living conditions they will do it. Most right wing politics are irrational but some people have clearly rational reasons for being right wing and they are still evil. The farmer, the business owner, the landlord, the labor aristocrat. We arent talking about small groups of society that we could surgically remove, they might be minorities but if every millionaire took up arms they could probably have a chance against even semi organized left wing militias. We might win against them in an all out war but a class war wouldn’t be a purge. If we tell them their lives are getting better or misdirect their anger away from us when we inevitably alienate them, it’s better than saying we hate them because then they have no reason not to hate us.

        Can't say I agree. 6 day week in Greece, cost of living through the roof. No real increase in spending power. Your actual effective wages have probably already halved since the 90s. This is a downward trend and I don't see it ticking up any time soon

          Greece shouldn’t be a country. Their economy is shit but it should be restructured into a turkish economic block and a lot of their economic potential should go back to the global south in reparations in perpetuity like all European countries.
