The Left Party says “there shouldn’t be any billionaires.” With Germany gearing up for an election, the far-left force has launched a new tax plan — though it will most likely never get a chance to implement it.

    The green party (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) is moderate left and fully supporrs Ukraine. I’m probably gonna vote for them. The war is only going a few years yet, so I wouldn’t call it a “forever war”. I’ve seen a lot of wars come and go in my lifetime and I think this one will end in a few more years or less. It’s just very important to teach russia a lesson, they can’t just attack others without serious consequences. It’s not just important for Ukraines future, but for all mankind. Ukraine and the heroes risking and giving their life on the battlefield for our future deserve our full support for teaching russia that lesson. If the war ends before russia learns that, they will soon attack another friendly neighbour, so it’s either fight now or fight even more later. It’s unfortunate, but sometimes you just gotta resist and fight back for a better future.

      The green party is as bellicist as it gets. It supported every single military intervention INCLUDING IRAQ. You guys are literally voting for the baddies

      It’s incredibly easy to teach others lessons when you have nothing at risk, now or in the future.

        Ukraine risks a lot to teach that lesson and they have my full support. It’s not easy tho, because there are people like you trying to send us all to our doom.

          Yes, it’s easy to teach lessons when you are taking no risk and losing nothing.

          It’s not so great for the Ukrainians who were forcibly drafted at the end of a gun, so Germany can teach Russia a lesson.

          If you think any of nuclear Europe is ever at any risk from Russia, you’re too stupid to breathe, much less have an opinion on the matter.

        First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

        Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

        Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

        Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.


        The risk for not helping the Ukrainians is that this will set precedence the collapse of the international order and institution that prevented major wars since World War 2, because the international charter explicitly forbids violating another nation’s sovereignty. If no one speaks out or support Ukraine, then it will be you and your loved ones next in the next world war.

          Don’t you fucking dare recite the anti liberal poem against me from a .world account.

          Also, what fucking bullshit are you speaking? Nearly every EU country has violated no less than a dozen countries since WWII. If we extend that to the West in general then you people have been the most pervasive war mongers in modern history.

          Oh right, those countries weren’t majority white. They don’t count.

              Yes, every one that disagrees with you are NPCs bots. You’re the real humans and the only ones that exist. All those damn coloureds non westerners just aren’t human you know.

                A useful idiot is still a Krembot sock puppet. The former was coined after all to denote those who parrot Kremlin propaganda regardless of ideology or motivations.

                Man, you guys have been PUTINg too much clown make-up lately. Just because the West is bad, it doesn’t give Russia any excuse.

                  Russia is just the West. There is no difference between Russia and the US or any other fascist state. All capitalists are the same, just at different stages of fascism.

                  I don’t like Russia any more than you, I just don’t care to see the West doing full ethnic cleansing using the Russian Boogeyman so western companies can control Ukraine’s land.

                    Ukraine wants to align with the West. Of course Western companies will want to do business there.

                    Sure bud, you hate both Russia and West but say Russia is the boogeyman even though they are the ones who invaded another country unprovoked.
