I felt it coming... as a migrant, a couple of weeks ago I felt people started to look at me differently.

I’m certainly not discounting your experience but do you really think this is something that took shape only over a couple of weeks? Or did you mean that you woke to the realization?

People take it out on their peers rather than their masters

Only if they lack political education.

The education system, controlled by their masters, has no interest in education the people to blame their masters, so of course most are uneducated in this regard.

This isn't new. Historically, many great teachers of the workers have got around this with a little cleverness.

It'll happen again.

No, the fact is that somehow for decades German authorities think they have a right / a budget (that is build up by taxes paid for by natural Germans and also documented, naturalized, legally working people now living in Germany) to spend on things here and there over half of the world, be it illegal migrants, approved migrants, EU-internal subsidies or subsidies and projects for other nations across the globe. Ukraine, Afghanistan and Syria come lately to mind.

That this insane behavior doesn't bode well regardless of 'polictical education' should come to no ones' surprise. Especially if you, as a so-so earner, pay almost 40% in taxes and social security / healthcare. And if you happen to already have experienced socialism before, you have an even less chilled opinion. Thank you.

Socialists will once again get to explain how the capitalist welfare state was an unsustainable scam paid for by neocolonialism. Demonized socialist projects will come to be seen in a more authentic, positive light, and the fight for worker and human emancipation from capitalism will resume.

Both socialist and capitalist liberal states are bad, liberation requires overcoming the power structures of both state and capital. We all stand to gain from it, it's not like a new tax system.

Socialist states are just elitist authoritarian capitalism. Both kinds of states trap their populaces in endless all consuming work. Please, let's move on, we have automation and industrialized processes now to not need constant work at the behest of rulers commanding us or gatekeeping and bean countnig access to reproducible technology and information

(It's incidentally also the same fight as the ecological problem.)

>Only if they lack political education.

especially if they have political education most of the time lol
