Jun 14th, 2024 - 03:10 pm 0As good Marxists they disregard MERIT and force outcomes favouring the useless and incompetents.
They call the invasion and colonization of our successful countries in the West “cultural enrichment” which infects us with criminals and lay abouts, failures of decolonization.
To give the third world countries a good government is despicable colonization.
The UN can't stand a prosperous community like the one in the Falklands which it wishes to “decolonize” or enrich it with a backward economic failure.
Who are behind the “decolonisers” in the C24? Russia with the second largest empire ever and China not far away which took over Tibet and is desperate to invade Taiwan!
What have Marxism and Islam and Black Nationalism created? Dumps and genocides.
Where did Marx go to live: to the Capital of the British Empire!
Where are the armies of third world invaders heading to: The Anglosphere BECAUSE the British Empire created the best places to live with its MERITOCRACY destroyed by the Marxist decolonisers.
It is a pointless toothless committee that has zero relevance, end of story.
