    My grandma is half-russian half German, but never had the chance to grow up in the Ussr. She was born in Poland in 1933. Its a very complex history, and just that you know my grandma is a commie too. Her half-sister did though. So I do think about it a lot not just because of my Marxists affinity but also because of the family history that still is very much uncertain.

    Also my mother (grandmas daughter) grew up right next to the GDR, they also watched a lot of GDR TV Illegally. When I moved to Belgium (we had to leave Germany due to poverty and neo-Nazi attacks on us, im half Italian). I ended up having teachers from the former soviet union even former Olympians. All of them were kind to me, in comparison to my elitist German teachers who only cared about those Germans who’s grandparents/great-grandparents were actual nazis

    So I think about it the soviet union in a historical, a Marxist and a sort of family related sense, and hopefully imagine how our lives could have been better if my grandmother and mother had the same chances as her sister and cousins/nephews did.

    I was just watching Weltspiegel this evening which was so conflating and very biased. They first went like yes trump is bad and all (for the case of greenland) and then they interviewed a “specialist” who was constantly claiming that russia is the biggest threat to greenland and not the actual fact that trump is the main cause in this situation. The rest of that edition consisted out of cuba bashing, interviewing US military trainees in Hawaii (and portraying them as heroic) and really bad coverage on iran. I swear to god it was the most US asslicking bullshit that i have ever seen, and I guess germany is goingto keep sucking trumps dick.

    I saw an Instagram short (from a former ex missionary) that sort of talked about something similar. It talked about how protestant missionary work was used, in order to crush catholic liberation theory.

    Also it makes sense to me now how my catholic religion teacher never gave a shit about my Marxist rhetoric, but my other german teachers were willing to attack me. anyhow though it still must be said that the catholic church still has anti-marxist demons too, it just depends on where you are.
