There have been daily posts about energy prices on r/Belgium. Most people will probably bankrupt themselves paying these prices.
The comments are filled with ‘I’m not a commie, but’ and ‘I’m not the socialist type, but’ type of comments.
Motherfucker, if only you were. If only you had an ounce of class awareness, if only you’d care enough to join a party and take action.
I swear to Allah these people will die of shortages, poverty or freeze to death or something before they might consider themselves to be lukewarm socialist. As if it is a disease you can catch.
End of rant. I understand these people are misinformed and need guidance. The party and I will do our best to educate them on the matters. But fucking hell do I get tired of their stupidity.
Thanks for listening.
This is one thing I always found so bizarre, in America at least, regarding the whole “energy independence” narrative. Solar, wind, hydro, geo, and to a degree nuclear, energy are all relatively self-sufficient nationally (especially if they were nationalized). Oil though? We’re basically letting these companies extract national resources and sell it to the highest bidder on the global marketplace. How is that energy independence? Capitalists aren’t patriotic, they don’t care about the health of a nation. The only way energy independence through oil could be found is if the entire industry was nationalized, no?
