I don’t have a problem with defending what was achieved during the GDRs and Soviet Unions history, but if one wants to do that, they need to make it abundantly clear that there is absolutely nothing to defend about todays Russia(except its people obviously).
Good point about coal, when I was a lib I would’ve said "Just learn to code". But that obviously doesn’t work, so it’s a bit of a hard one. But I bet you could definitely argue for larger investment by impacted areas like rebuilding infrastructure to try and somehow keep good paying jobs.
While at the same time you need to hammer, in every interview you can get, how the underlying system is the problem. If you think for a moment you can probably tie every problem back to capitalism, but in a way that isn’t conspiracy like the elites control us and shit.
This has gotten a bit longer than intended, sorry.
Exactly, some of them seem to not realize how much russia has changed and uncritically support modern russia a lot.
Yeah, there needs to be a lot of programs to be able to change the areas that were based on montanindustrie and heavy Industries, especially the ruhrgebiet. I think that would deserve a post on its own. But just supporting montanindustrie to support the workers is just .. well, outdated.
Yeah, the majority of problems present can be tied to capitalism and, imo, its correct to base it on capitalism in most of these cases.
