Not totalitarian you say?

My experience in Azerbaijan also included tales of when they were children passing curds to starving prisoners through chain fences in Kazakh gulags. The Soviet Union did more harm than good to the leftist movement and is used as the scary example every single time someone begins to think twice about the capitalist system they live under. Socialism is forever tainted by the USSR and severely struggles to remove that image. Fuck the USSR.

Nope. A rare few have perspex boxes that you can see through but most are just a wooden box. It's removed in summer to allow people to see them.

Unfortunately with more extreme weather those with carvings are starting to wear away. The more beloved or prominently known ones are being encapsulated in boxes to preserve them but most will just wear away.

The boxes aren't pretty either.

For example, The Maiden Stone normally, and boxed.

An example of the wear on the western face.

Out of a population of over 300 million...

Correction. Want, not need. American universities are not lacking in money.

What does this mean?

Originally I thought you meant 2 million out of 15 million people but Turkey's population is 86 million

Too fucking right, but I don't understand the video, is there some context missing, what did orange hat do to deserve that?

Random violence isn't punk. Might is right isn't punk.

Punk is anarchist and DIY

Germany's military industry was also trash at the time. Buying time for Britain's defence also bought time for Germany's offence.

If France, Britain, etc did something sooner rather than later a lot of bloodshed would have been avoided.

The World At War is an incredible documentary that covers it quite well.

"Since the French spurned any notion of taking the offensive, the Maginot Line ironically protected Germany better than it protected France." Narrator, 8:10

"A few French divisions advanced 5 miles. But they didn't even try to penetrate the Siegfried Line, at that time still unfinished. And while Poland fought on, there were no German tanks at all on the Western Front." Narrator, 12:40

"If ze French Army would have attacked in beginning of September wiz zere very strong superiority in division in armoured cars well act all armoured cars in ze Western Front at zat time. In artillery, in air force, we ze German forces in the so called Western Front could stand no more than 1 or 2 weeks." General Siegfried Westphal, Staff Officer Western Front, 14:05

 

Food banks, poll tax, mass unemployment,
And you wanna buy into more lies?
Privatisation of public assets,
I want the lies stopped.

Fuck the union!
Revolution!

Austerity and inequality,
Ruled by the unelected,
Minimal wages, child poverty,
It's time for the new order.

Fuck the union!
Revolution!

 

OI POLLOI - Terra-Ist from the Fuaim Catha album

They've poisoned and clear-felled and strip-mined this earth
Made a cess pit of the paradise that was ours by birth
They've raped and they've burned and they've plundered our world
Our banner of resistance will now be unfurled
We're nailing our colours right up to the mast
The sands of time are running out fast
To stop the nutters destroying our home
Kidnapped from our children from whom it's on loan
Enough is enough is enough of their greed
Mass eco-defence is what the earth needs
Terra-ist action all over the land
To stop the lunacy the rich have got planned
E.L.F. strike in the dead of night
See the bulldozers are burning bright
Construction area totally trashed
Earth-rape machinery utterly smashed
Some might say that we're too "extreme"
But all we want is air and water that's clean
And a green earth not a desert is what we need
Don't let them sacrifice it on their altar of greed
Rise up and conquer your fear
They can be stopped like Jose-Maria
Our world a toxic slag-heap they will make
So take whatever action you feel it's right to take
It's up to you it's up to me to make a stand
Our generation holds it's future in it's hands
Time to fight back let them do their worst
Green anarchy in action - put the earth first!
