Also pretty specific to where you live. IIRC South Africa had it as the opposite, where even a little European blood made you "white", which helped keep native-born people separated from Europeans and their families.

I love how 1/4 of the comments are fucking Amazon reps. Imagine giving passive-aggressive advice on a product you like lmao

It's almost unbelievable how shitty the homeless are treated in the US. An entirely manufactured problem with a simple as fuck solution that won't happen because people don't understand you can't get labor from people who don't have food and shelter.

WhY DoN'T YoU JuSt GEt a jOB?

I'm more surprised that anyone on the left is really surprised. Democrats are not leftists and never will be.

In Part 6, the author rightfully mentions the social democrats of Germany selling out the Spartacists with the help of Russia, siding with the Freikorps and ultimately crushing their own revolution. I can't help but remember the total subjugation of Germany under USSR control during the Cold War, when Russia would have the KGB and Germany the Stasi which mirrored it. Though perhaps more subtle in that activists wouldn't be outright murdered and thrown in the river a la Luxembourg, these alphabet agencies would also be responsible for enforcing an extremely centralist, totalitarian regime in both countries that is very reminiscent of Freikorps activity during the crackdown after the Spartacists.

If one can find it affordable, I would recommend a book called Faust's Metropolis by Alexandra Richie, which is focused on German history with a focus on Berlin that details the close relationship and parallels between events the authors of this article would have likely seen coming.

The Bolshevik Party, consisting of professional revolutionists on the one hand and large backward masses on the other, remained isolated.

Worth expanding on if you're interested. The Kaiser during WWI actually funneled millions of marks to Lenin and even escorted him from his exile in Switzerland to Russia. The plan was to instigate revolution in order to have Russia pull out of the war, allowing Germany to focus on its western front. Lenin tried to postpone signing a treaty, which pissed off the Kaiser enough that he invaded Russia while it was weak, leading to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which gave huge chunks of Russia's western territories to Germany.

Even after this, the USSR would have an - outwardly - odd, close relationship. Aside from the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Stalin's USSR would turn over communists to the SA and SS to be killed. Supplies would be sent across the border even after Germany's betrayal of the pact.

One of the few places that really addresses trans issues (and oppressed peoples in general) in any capacity. Liberals can't even agree on if people should get healthcare, never mind trans healthcare (hormones and such) services and surgery if desired. Probably helps that groups like LGBT and race minorities tend to have overlapping advocates.
