Only read the abstract, and while I critically support Lukashenko and Belarus, and I'm sure they have taken some based policies and so on, don't you think calling it socialist may be a little too much? I mean, here in Argentina we have free healthcare, free education, public transport could be better (but it exists), water, gas and energy infrastructure exists in big proportions in the public level, but I would not dare call use socialists; sure, maybe the policies are, but not our government. Just a comparison, and an ignorant question since I'm not an expert on Belarus.
From what I know Belarus effectively kept the old system after USSR dissolved. Here's a Bloomberg article lamenting how it works better than they expected. They've since introduced some concessions to markets, as pretty much every socialist state has, but as far as I know socialism is very much at the core of it.
Argentina is far from socialism on widespread racism alone.
all other aspects are irrelevant until that is gone.
You have a bad understanding of socialism, my brother. Socialism is a transitional state from capitalism to communism, during which you try to improve all the previous wrong doings of this hideous system, therefore inherently you will deal with things like racism, which you must fight improving the material conditions and doing an intersectional analysis of what causes these issues.
yeah, good luck doing that only for your fellow whites. go to argentina before defending them. see the coop factoriea where black people is not welcome.
Che, soy Argentino pelotudo. Que batis. They are public and everyone cna access them, maybe it is harder in the villas but it doesn't come near to what it is in the US.
LMAO
Strange take. World is racist. Racism is a capitalist issue. As long as capitalism is around, we can’t get rid of it.
