I suppose we should have just let them starve?

And yet Stalin was still pushing the expansion of Marxism-Leninism

It was their policy. _Explicitly_ so.

on paper

So?

you just claimed that it wasn't

Is your argument that because they were forcing their ideology on other countries we should just do the same?

And also where was it their policy?

Socialism in one country was about not getting rid of the idea of countries.

“So?” “Where was it their policy?” <:thunk:462282216467333140>

If a robber is making his way into your house, you have the full right to stop him.

that's my argument

and SSSR was doing just that

We should have nuked China like McArthur said we should TBH

or, at least they explicitly stated that that's their goal

If a robber is breaking into someone else's house, you're within your right to stop him

Stalin believed in Marx's prediction that Socialism is the natural evolution of Capitalism and thus that all Capitalist countries would inevitably become Socialist countries which is why he did not believe it should be forced as much as Trotsky did

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"as much"

@2K professional procrastination

Nice

We're literally arguing about intervening in the spread of Marxism-Leninism that was backed BY STALIN

MEPs don't have the power to make that determination

They have tho

Nope

It's for the European Council to decide

if a member state doesnt like it

can veto it

We should Veto it

I agree

you cant

lmao

the council on this has 27 countries

We should just ask Poland or Italy to do it then

sorry uk

Or maybe Greece

Isn't the council made of the heads of government of every country?

you voted to leave and all

We should nuke Brussels
