If you couldn’t tell already since I’m too vocal about It, I’m from Serbia.

After the fall of Yugoslavia, this place has become a place of deepest reaction. The people here have been doomed to elect between a neoliberal big tent right wing ruling party and a pro-west liberal opposition, most of the higher ranking members being your typical bourgeoisie.

To update you on the student movement that made a lot of noise a while back. It’s falling apart really due to It losing It’s originally decent focus from having to concrete leadership. It unfocused from student demands to parliamentary elections and begging the EU to intervene. Then again what was I expecting?

I didn’t think I’d be jealous of American students protesting for Palestine while these fuckers are talking about “democracy and a fair state”. Whatever that means.

I fucking hate It here man.

    like an anti-corruption campaign

    I’d be careful there. You’re thinking of chinese style anti corruption campaigns, but merely asking ‘anti corruption’ is as immaterial and manipulative as anything can be.

      Western libs: “oh golly I sure would love a party actually fighting corruption!”

      Communist Party of China: purges millions of members from the party, rising in the party is a tough meritocracy in which you have to live by the example, organizes anti-corruption propaganda campagins, literally fucking executes high-profile corruption offenders

      Western libs: “oh no, that looks so authoritarian!! I hate it!!!”
