    I think this is why I find Leftist people hard to follow. So many grey areas, so much to learn not to fall a category that would do more harm than good.

    "Normal people" are just stuck in The Matrix. Feel good that you 'escaped'. Choose your battles wisely. Don't feel like every injustice needs a reactionary response. At least that's what I do for my sanity.

    I know the feeling. Change what you can change, the rest you can't change is pointless to ponder of what the future holds. How ever unlikely things change.

    Dont know much about French politics all I heard was left party Prime Minister will not take over, not sure why you need prime ministers and presidents. Most countries I'm familiar with is either/or gorvern.

    "By the way, were you worried that mentioning you were from Gibraltar would trigger a discussion about the conflict surrounding Gibraltar's status?"

    Yes. Pretty sensitive issue for us. If you like to know more about our views, you are welcome to ask.

    No not Monaco or Vatican. Just not sure which socialist countries we can trade food with. Cuba, China or Venezueka are too far from Europe. If other more powerul European nations could act as a catalyst for socialism. Things can change quite rapidly in the future.

    I'm not saying socialist trade is incompatible. We are not living in a socialist world right and we depend on capitalist trade out of necessity to exists.

    I understand where you are coming from. It just seems so impossible in current world climate. Let alone such a high GDP for it's small size, with little to no influence in world affairs. Nothing material to offer for trade other than a service based economy, I doubt we would survive. Bigger nations have the added advantage on just self sufficiency to survive. We literally dont have sapce for agriculture or any industry.

  • So here is my dilemma. We import all food and goods, too small for agriculture. Our main economy is built on financial services and tourism mostly. Our social safety net and most of our let's say, liberal left leaning policies are being eroded as time goes by, which is not ideal, but is still better than nothing I guess. However, since we trade our service based economy for essentially everything else, how does socialism help a nation so dependent on the world around it being capitalist to survive?

    The original series Quantum Leap used the R-word referring to people with mental difficulties not as an insult. I understand today times have changed and used as a slur. Still used in medication today, meaning slow release tablets.

  • A lifetime of western propaganda is hard to break. It's been hard and confusing but finally, the utter hypocrisy on what is really going on in Palestine has really opened my eyes. It really is a hard pill to swallow. The west have just lost the plot completely. I hope more people, will realise the truth before its too late for humanity.
