Europe is a fake continent made by fragile crackers that wanted to have their own special crackerland separate from Eurasia.
I've always found it weird how Europe gets to be a continent but India is only a subcontinent. I mean, I get why (white supremacy) but still
I like to call it Eurafrica when I'm talking with libs. They dislike being reminded that the foundations of European culture were almost all developed in Africa.
Then when they'd stolen all they could, they forgot about the continent and plummeted into the dark ages until they met west Asians, whose scholarly outputs helped backwards Europe to turn the lights back on.
After draining all they could, they stagnated again until they found the Americas, where they found parliamentary democracy and many other theretofore inconceivable inventions.
Marx called it primitive accumulation when the capitalists started doing it but Europeans have been propping themselves up on the heritage of the rest of the world for millennia. I guess Europe could be called 'Thievesope' but that is a bit tautologous.
the foundations of European culture were almost all developed in Africa.
Could you elaborate on this, please?
If Europe is fake, shouldn't it be Asia not Eurasia lol.
It could be! But when I say it's fake, I'm saying it's a subcontinent. It exists but there's no material reason for Europe to be its own continent while the Indian subcontinent is part of Asia. Crackers just wanted a crackerland.
For sure, it's ridiculous that India (and Arabia) is excluded but Europe is not. Eurindarasia is a little silly sounding though...
Why not just call it all Asia then. Genuine question.
As excellent as this article is, I've had multiple conversations with Captaincool07, and I think comrades should know that he is unfortunately a Han supremacist. I hate using that term since it sounds like its giving credit to liberals, but he really is. He thinks the CPC is more of a nationalist party than a socialist one, and he thinks Vladimir Putin is a "radical centrist", and that China's success is more due to nationalism than socialism, and he once said that he thinks that China should return to controlling 25-40 percent of the entire world's economy, rather than a multipolar one.
He's also vehemently homophobic and thinks that Mao's socialism "went too far".
You can just call him a nationalist or a patsoc. The rhetoric he espouses isn't any different from Chinese nationalists of other ethnicities, and from his videos it's clear he cares about preserving minority culture/ is proud of its preservation. The few "Han nationalists" that exist live in the US or Taiwan and have a intense hatred for the mainland/the CPC and tend to be very pro-US (they both share the goal of a balkanizing China based off of ethnicity).
I gotta heavily disagree with the idea of him being no different than any other nationalists.
He's said before that only the Han Chinese are "smart" enough to have a successful country as China, and he believes that "full communism" is just as bad as full capitalism. I will admit maybe his views have changed and I could be wrong, and he's definitely not pro US. But he is/was very homophobic, and the bad kind of nationalist.
There are a noticeable amount of Han chauvanists in China as well. The CPC and most of the Chinese population don't agree with them though, thankfully.
This is why I always flinch a little when nationalism in revolutionary countries is described as a "good" thing by communists.
Nationalism isn't "good." It's a force that can stand in opposition to imperialism, which is the primary contradiction. In that way, it's useful. But left unchecked, any nationalism can fester and grow into something dangerous. As you've said, Han chauvanism is a real thing in China and hopefully it remains a fringe ideology that dissolves over time.
Russians look European, speak an European language and have a culture that's immensely inspired by that of other European countries. There's not really anything "Asian" about them.
That is if we're talking Russians as an ethnicity. The terms are conflated in English, but no so much in Russian.
Yes, I'm aware that there are two words in the Russian language that are both simply translated into English as "Russian": the one for ethnicity and the one for citizenship. I didn't feel the need to point it out since most people think only of the former.
Fair enough. I felt the need to mention it to highlight the absurdity of separation. Asian, "white". Which am I? Apparently depends on time of the day
