Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic Robert Fico paid an official visit to China, October 31-November 5. He met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on November 1. Noting that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Slovakia, Xi said that after three-quarters of a century of development, … Continue reading China-Slovakia relations elevated to strategic partnership
I could name a few worse ones, it’s not Moscow, where dark-skinned people got killed on a daily basis, but I’d agree it’s one of the more racist. You’re lecturing someone who literally leads people against 50-100k strong fascists marches, but thank you for west-splaining our situation. We Slav stupid, we not know if not western left messiah.
If only you could deal with the facts, it’d be an interesting discussion, but best you can pull is childish negation of anything that could shake up your poorly educated opinions. Afraid your western-individualist petite bourgeoisie ‘personality’ will be ruined by confronting reality?
Oh I am dealing with facts. Russia is aligned with the global majority against the racist colonial west. Afraid your western-individualist petite bourgeoisie ‘personality’ will be ruined by confronting reality?
I don’t care about moralizing. Not being an utter psychopath, I want to avoid wars and people dying. NATO created the conditions for war through it’s actions over many decades since the dissolution of USSR. Now hundreds of thousands of people died, while sickos living in NATO countries continue to cheers this on.
Yeah, nazis growing to power has never lead to any deaths. You serious?
Even if NATO did that it’s Russian soldiers bombarding cities, and and Russian soldiers in Ukraine. You want to stop wars, everything that needs to be done is them going back to their country. Oh, and maybe, just maybe, the “sickos” simply know what Russian occupation of their countries looked like, some first hand? You ever consider that, or is there simply one side who has any rights?
Interesting policy of wreaking destruction upon every “regime” that doesn’t align with your hypocritically professed values, irrespective of the history of the country and how the group you want wiped out came to power in the first place.
There is a problem though, that your wish to isolate these states from diplomacy and trade does nothing more than create stripped-down capitalist states, at the mercy of London and Wall St. and their blob, the conditions and the political influences that produce these “left” and “right” neoliberal parties (for neocons are a variety of liberal, economically, despite your ahistorical use of the term). Your whole approach is mindlessly destructive and counterproductive.
The endgame of this strategy looks like Milei, like post-Gaddafi Libya. Your approach always results in starvation, rape, and murder of the population, and this collapse of society allows far right groups easy pickings.
Dunno, maybe cooperation with neighboring countries and only together setting joint deals with disproportionately larger countries? It’s just as absurd as Poland’s last government single-handedly attempting massive tread deals with USA. Each time smaller European countries attempt that they end up on a leash.
I trust China far more than slovak government. I dont think that these deals with China will go this way, its more like when the other options(real alternatives offered currently) are bad they will get a deal with China. But normatively yes I guess, its just too much to ask of such governments judging by their current failures.
I don’t trust any government, but even less so the less there are checks and feedback loops that limit their control. From my understanding of the Chinese system these are severely limited there, and from what I’m seeing about the Slovak one it’s simply corrupt in the CEE traditional way and leaning on authoritarian. My point is just that relations between small and massive states will never be equal, and if one goes ‘leeroy jenkins’ at it - it’s either painfully stupid or the effect of corruption. Another such case would be Ireland basically writing away all their gas/oil fields rights to Shell, and acting like a tax heaven for whatever IT multinational.

OK, so what about sponsoring neonazis?
You mean the way the west has been since 2014 in Ukraine?
Let’s say they do. How is that worse, or equal, to clearly sponsoring them it at least 4 much larger European countries?

Wait so you claim to be left and somehow oppose partnership with China? How am I to understand this?
Yes, one can be leftist and anti-authoritarian. I dont believe state capitalism is the solution.
Oh I see so what is the alternative offered to Slovaks then?
Dunno, maybe cooperation with neighboring countries and only together setting joint deals with disproportionately larger countries?

Ok I got you. For me personally China usually seems like a decent alternative. I dont think that they are perfect.
