Although… European governments do have far more reason to be concerned.
I have seen zero indication that Europeans are more concerned about this than the Biden administration. That alone should give Americans pause before picking a side.
Sanctions didn't work on Cuba and they most certainly and objectively didn't work on Russia. The prize of the Black Sea access is worth the price.

DD brought up examples of jailing political opposition. I am sorry if you were offended by her slightly off topic post.

That's the issue he mentioned. Why are you defending her hypocrisy?
the School Board Chair didn't just "ask her to leave"
That's a flat out misrepresentation of what happened. She called the police to use violence and intimidation to counter her speech.

If a person has a right to express his opinion, then another person has a corresponding has a right to ignore everything said. The right to express one’s views does not, or at least should not, imply the right to force others to listen to those views.
Protesters, salespeople, preachers and politicians are among the people who seem to get very annoyed when their words fall on deaf ears. Too bad. No one — with the possible exception of the people who own a monopoly on violence -has the right to a captive audience.
Captive as in jailing your political opposition.

So when people allocate their financial risk assessment to the central planners like Wall St. Investment firms they end up poor every time. got it.
A lot poorer than the people managing their money, absolutely.

When I get a position of power and monopoly on force and violence, maybe your post will make sense one day.
The right to free speech includes the right to freely ignore speech.
Equating that with jailing your political opposition is a tactic a tyrant would use to justify violence.

This is the main reason why so many people are poor despite the efforts of central planners. When people allocate their risk assessment to central planners, they end up with crumbs every time.

Only in your warped mind does this video qualify as being worthy of discussion about tyranny and crushing political opposition.
You missed the part where she called the police to attack her for exposing the truth.
As DD pointed out, jailing your political opposition creates a risk of spawning even more tyranny to fight tyranny.
"can we have a police officer please" is the catcall of tyranny. MLK and Ghandi agree.

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.
-Orwell
I get an A plus for this quote professor?
Oh who am I kidding. You can't appease the quote Nazis in an anonymous online forum.
But let's believe for a moment Orwell wanted "real communism" and prays to the same god all leftists pray to while never getting what they want. 100 years and they still cant figure out how to solve the problems with socialism Orwell pointed out. What good is a Canadian Charter when it can be revoked at any time for any reason?

You know that the people spraypainting swastikas over the Canadian Flag and terrorising people of color in downtown Ottawa represent actual fascists as Orwell or any student of history might recognize
If they are using these symbols to portray Trudeau as a Nazi, I support them as actual anti-fascists.
It started with 2 weeks to stop the spread and ended with war powers and horse tramplings. GG fascists. GG indeed.

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.
'Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others ; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were- cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?'
Socialism will always be the tool of tyranny to achieve their ends, as long as the people allow it. Even with safeguards like the Canadian Charter, all it takes is one man with a pen to invoke the war act and make that charter worth nothing more than wastepaper.

Your search - The party is concerned not with the preservation of its flesh, but with the preservation of itself ... - did not match any documents.Suggestions:
I put together 2 different quotes paraphrased for context. Instead of seeking validation, maybe read the quote and use critical thinking rather than figure out who to take your marching orders from. You are allowed to have an individual opinion. You do not need to be lumped into groupthink to enable those with power to dominate those who dare exercise individual thought. Normally I don't give a rat's ass about citing people because it gives people an excuse to dismiss the content without bothering to read it. And there are a LOT of people on this site that do just that.
If you like Orwell so much, maybe you should examine why he has written volumes on the effects of corruption and absolute power and how it will always apply to the human condition instead of praying for "real communism" in your lifetime.

Yeah yeah...people have heard the saying "not real communism" since the Soviet revolution almost 100 years ago.
You will have endless parades of AOC types saying most Democrats are not real communists since they follow the marching orders of the elite donor classes.
It's a systemic problem with central power. Once it is obtained, you cant affect it with Democratic means.
This is why the Canadian Truckers cant win. Why AOC and Bernie can't win, and why Trump can't win. There is no path save bloody revolution to change the current entrenched central powers inherent in both nations. If you try with democratic means, you get either the emergency powers act or you get imprisoned for life for political trespassing with no due process. Leaders never really cared about socialism. It was just a means to an end. Uncontested central power.
It is inevitable. When there is no path for Democratic change, a violent change is guaranteed.

"The party is concerned not with the preservation of its flesh, but with the preservation of itself. It doesn't matter who has the power, as long as the hierarchical structure is always preserved." - Orwell
People's careers are tracked. People who discover special abilities in terms of the goals of this group are gently approached and invited into inner circles. They are tracked while running errands and eventually they fall into an elite cabal under circumstances that actually do not allow them to break out of it. What is the ultimate goal of the donor class elites? If universal power is the goal, then any system that concentrates power in the hands of a few is desirable. From the point of view of governance, Communism is the ultimate form of power. This is the focus of maximum power over the economy and over the individual. They want a big government because they understand that Socialism, as well as Communism— is not a philanthropic system for redistributing wealth, but a system for concentrating and centrally managing it.
They also recognize that it is also a system for concentrating people and centrally managing them. Critics of this provision usually argue that the rich least need government control over or ownership of the means of production. But, as we see, Socialism or Communism offers the Elites the most perfect means of concentrating and managing wealth. This is the ultimate goal of the drafters of these plans: power not only over the riches of the world, but also over the producers of these riches, people as such.
So the Elites use the government to gain control of the government, and the goal is total rule. If the government is used by elites to concentrate power, then it must gaslight people who yet want to preserve the freedom of understanding the very essence and function of government. As soon as the properties of the government have become clear, efforts can be made against the increasing power of the government over both the national economy and the lives of citizens. It is best to start such a study with two root causes, which are recognized as the source of human rights. Assuming that people really have rights, there are only two root causes: either the person himself, or someone or something external to him - the Creator. Many of the American founding fathers recognized the difference between these possibilities. Thomas Jefferson, for example, expressed his attitude and understanding as follows: "God, who gave us life, gave us freedom. Can the freedoms of the nation be guaranteed if we eliminate the belief that these freedoms are a gift from God?"
Recent events suggest the answer is no. Freedom has become a privilege granted by a monopoly of force and violence to give and take as they wish.

Could always try a march to overthrow the government in the capitol. The specific example I am thinking of didn't necessarily work out right away but you know, second time's the charm?
They already march around the Capitol like they own the place. Why can't the school board eliminate these pesky parents?
Maybe they can do what that BLM guy did and try to shoot the opposition even if he shot at a Jewish Democrat instead of a complaining parent. That might work.
2nd time's a charm?
Calling the police on parents obviously didn't work in the video, maybe they should have given that parent the Ashley Babbitt treatment?
second time is the charm?

Even the Canadian people understand unjustified emergency acts are not legal and Trudeau needs to be held accountable.
"As long as America doesn't fall, there's still a semblance of hope for the rest of what's left of the free world."
-Some anonymous Canadian
Based on recent events, emergency acts should not exist on any level. I pray they can liberate themselves, and hold accountable any politician or "law enforcement" that conformed to this.
Imagine the trauma felt by the trucker's children seeing their parents treated this way. I cannot believe this is Canada!
People don't realize how bad this is and that's scary and this is why people need guns to protect themselves from a tyrannical government.
Many other countries condemning Prime Minister Black face over this. I truly hope Canadians remember what he and others did when it comes election time.
Trudeau: Peaceful trucker protest: Invokes Emergency Act....
Also Trudeau: Violent BLM riots: Takes a knee with them.
That tyrannical bootlicking police chief admitting that they're going to destroy the lives of everyone involved with this protest is amazing. He COULD have lied rather than admitting that they're going to go full-authoritarian against these people, but he just went out and admitted to their evil intent. That's incredible.

This is an awesome victory for misogyny around the world. Legalized women beating plus the infinite adulation of internet fanbois for every bruise inflicted on a woman.
Soccer without red cards. The best bloodsport.
It's about time tyrants started putting these upstart women into hospitals and morgues.
Breaking the clavicle of a little old lady with a walker by mowing her over with an authorized horse has to be the most adrenaline pumping thing I have seen since the ice bowl.
And oh man! that massive bruise on that lady's thigh makes me lick my lips with carnal glee. Let's see more. More blood Mr. Trudeau!

Canadian Police shot a woman in the leg with a R1 40 mm gun. Legalized misogyny.
A cop hit her three times with a club and then shot a tear gas canister at her leg from point-blank range.
Trudeau has instructed his police to attack journalists.

This is the picture of the one guy. They told him to leave because it was bad optics even though he stupidly was trying to call Trudeau a Nazi.
The main spokesperson for the truckers is Benjamin Dichter, a Jewish activist from Toronto. When asked specifically about the swastika image, he brushed the question off: “People troll, do stupid things, whatever. Who cares?” and he said "It's hoax hate"
He also said "The Leaders are fueling anti-semitism in Canada by giving credence to stupid things like a Swastika on a trashcan obviously placed by a troll."
There should be no universe where a legitimate political disagreement can be utterly destroyed by one idiot with a flag showing up one day for a photo op.

@Mharman
There was literally 1 person with a swasitka early on and a poster calling Trudeau a Nazi, which the truckers removed, and now you have the power of the government multiplying 1 by the thousands of other Canadian truckers saying all the truckers stand for swastikas.
Not only that, Trudeau has called fellow members of parliament of "standing with swastikas"...including Jewish MPs.....
And you thought political baiting was bad in the US....

Gotta really laugh at people who think the current 8 percent inflation was the result of "Putin misinformation" and not Covid Mandates.

and I don't see any membership complaining about that public identification.
lol. There's no actual Nazi party in Canada and the Confederate flag is an American thing. Most Canadians don't even know what it is.
I think I read an article about how a protester had a Nazi flag with a sign that said Trudeau was a Nazi Fascist, but the membership complained, and said it was bad optics. That's where all this bullshit is coming from in parliament.
Even if it were true that a Nazi wanted to march with the truckers (lol), despite the imagery, Trudeau's actions are far more symbolic of the Nazis than any flag.
Martial law: check.
Demonize citizenry and political opposition: Check.
Crush political dissent and free speech: Check.
Steal from and arrest political opposition: Check.
All boxes checked. He even went so far as to declare truckers as Non-Canadians. Gee, wonder what fascist in history did that to the Jews?
