    You are looking terribly wrong by anyone who knows anything about Spanish history right now 😂

    The great Spanish empire of 1975😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Really. You are doing yourself a bad favour writing such irrational things.

    Left is supposed to be rational, please.

    Be rational! Think about what you are writing!

    You are being incredible insensible and offensive to the poor Spanish workers that had to eat street cats in the 1950s because they were starving to death. But according to some Lemmytor they were a colonial imperialist superpower.

      Nobody said imperial powers were immune to poverty. They thrive off of it, that’s where they get their soldiers. Like what, I’m supposed to ignore US imperialism because of the vast poverty that exists in that country?

      Either way that doesn’t mean you get to turn away the people who were made poor by imperialism and tell them to fix their own country, regardless of how much you personally benefited.

      It isn’t fucking relevant that you’re not in a wealthy country. In fact it makes it harder to understand why you’ve got no compassion for anyone else. Immigration doesn’t hurt you personally.

      Someone has taken you in with faux-leftist reactionary rhetoric, but it’s clear you don’t care to learn the reality, so I don’t see much point in carrying on talking to you.

        I don’t care about the US. I’m not talking about the US.

        I’m talking about my country. The US is not the whole world.

        Mass inmigration have some negative impact to some workers. To all, bad impact workers on the origin country, on the destination country and for the migrant workers. Mass inmigration only helps capitalists, that’s why they defend it the most. That’s why the most capitalist country in the world (now I am indeed talking about the US) is incredibly open to immigrants. Massive immigration is great to increase shareholders profits. Not so good for everybody else, including migrants.

        But if you somehow think that Spain was a imperialistic colonial superpower by 1975 is a waste of time trying to explain it. Talking about it rationally is against your dogma, your identity politics, and the anti-worker pseudoleft, so… No point.
