At the first meeting, the Russians presented a set of harsh conditions, effectively demanding Ukraine’s capitulation. This was a nonstarter. But as Moscow’s position on the battlefield continued to deteriorate, its positions at the negotiating table became less demanding. So on March 3 and March 7, the parties held a second and third round of talks […]
Regarding territorial issues, parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Donbass would remain under Russian control
Moscow ostensibly wanted Kiev to slash the size of its army to 85,000 people, while Ukraine insisted on retaining a strength of 250,000.

Yes via Importing “Excess Labour” from first the villages (19 century) later the Imperial Periphery into the Imperial core (20th Century) , thereby ensuring the oversupply of “industrial Reserve army” thereby ensuring the “Replacability” of its Workforce thereby suppressing wages.

So maybe the point is to push an anti capitalist policy, and not an anti immigrant one
But (Mass) Immigration is a Capitalistic Project (Bourgoise in Marx , the Bourgoise is the Capitalist Class)
It might be that you come from Privlege so you are not “Replacable by Access Labour”.
But a Immigratworker (No matter his IDENTIY or place of Birth ) the Moment he is Worker his CLASS-INTEREST
is not “EVEN MORE EXCESS LABOUR” that can replace him and lower his wages . This has nothing to do with the Individual Identy or Place of Birth but with his “Class Position as a Worker”.
My wife fled her family trying to kill her. Now she’s “undocumented”. No offense but “left-wing” anti-immigrationists are as socialist as the nazis in my book.
Prohibition of migration is an awful policy that makes exploitation worst. Illegal aliens can be exploited without mercy because they fear getting deported. That’s the whole point of the appartheid system we live in.
YOU’re privileged, you have papers and a job to replace
so you are telling me that it is wrong to assume Privledge when one refuses to see the Economic aspects of Imigration, Imigration is holy of economical Aspect. The Immigrant can 100% be assumed to be aware of the Economic Aspect, per definition it is why he is Migrating Somebody that is seeking Tempary protection is seeking asylum.
PM about the undocumented stuff , if you want i might have Burocratic Guidance , shes your wife but Undocumented ? what are you ? where was the Marrige ?
no, I’m saying using state power to restrict migration is basically being the arm of the capital. The threat of prohibition is the stick that gives the people to capitalist.
The privilege comes when one think he have more right to unionized proletariat than the rest of the world
Law of Burocarcy applies , so … what migrant has the Burocracy the most easy “access” to ?
the good immigrated Syrian Doktor , that even Put himself into the Yellow papers , or the Under the Radar right wing cartoon ? Burocracy has access to the “good Integrated” Now Right wing sentiment after some event forces a “Crackdown” , whom will Burocracy use to forfill some Quotas it is forced to forfill to feed a bloodthirtsty populus … topic has no beginning and , but historiclly States mostly fail in guiding Peoplesmovements (as in Moving People)
if the Proletariat does not Unite but splinteres along cultural or racial lines , then it is the “common ruin” of the Contenting Classes. Barbarism . Some will fail some will succed no right need to granted to act in the class interest only necessity.
i have not done that in the slightest. you on the other hand keep spamming “reserve army of labour” like you learnt about it yesterday as if that justifies throwing immigrants under the bus.
so you for the increasment of it or not ?
What has Marx wrong in his assesment ?
you argue in complete bad faith i see… should have noticed earlier…
It’s not a project at all, it’s a consequence of imperialism. The motive behind which is profit and not to create mass immigration. That is a side effect that the bourgeoisie are happy about, but to focus on the plight of the white german worker and throw the immigrant under the bus is not an act of class solidarity.
Its not “one big Project” no thats true. Its more like a Ruthless - Allgorithm that is Mindlessly running its course , the Imperial extraction and Wars forces the the People to follow their Ressources to the Factories… Pulling people away and devastating the the Demographics of the Periperhy countries…
Its generally aknowledged that the immigrant is not something “good” ,not a role one dreams of to play but that its somethign sad, A product of Imperialist Extraction or War that sees a Family confronted with having no future in his homeland and having to Leave this Homeland to make means in foreign Lands with this foreign land propably not that innocent on the Immigrants situation and Racist on top.
With the Imperial core not beeing able to create a Society stable and secure enough to grow, he (Capital ) has a Interest in dressing up Immigration up as “generally Good” (For Bourgoise : Industrial reserve army , Social Controll legislation)
but the “Immigrant” as an Individuel as “generally Bad” (For Bourgoise : Divide and Conquer , Atomisation , reconfirmation of the Class position ) , and if you let Immigration become to detached from this Economic Baggage Perfectly titled “Industrial Reserve Army” its becomes very unhealthy .
Marx “Industrial Reserve Army” is the the Perfect name . Marxist do generally want to see the "Industrial reserve army as Low as possible (Which is Immigrants and Unemployed --> they are One-Team --> played out against each other their Identity-Axis --> but United in their “Needs” Axis )
I AM THE IMMIGRANT YOU LOSER
i dont understand the point of that. Explain, i think you read stuff about me personally into this, Like i would be Anti-Immigration or something , this is a Political Forum and in it one Discussion , if able the Political Positions of certain Facions Leading Powerstruggles , in this case the BSW of Sarah Wagenknecht a saved Proclaim “Leftwing” Party , and its Position on immigration , it is not my Position. Your Identity as a Immigrant is obviously relevant to general Topic but what is the Point here ?
Should more Immigrants be Produced , extracted ? Did you like to leave your homeland for X Factor reasons ?
You are the one who assumed that I’m only pro immigration because I’m “privileged” as if that’s the only reason to be pro immigration. And not because of solidarity with all workers, and not wanting people to die at borders or be deported. You are the one defending the completely unhinged anti immigration position using Marxist language.
Base - Questions - the Economic relations (Focus Macro Relations )
-So do you want the “industrial Reserve Army” of the Place you live in currently to Increase or not Increase ? Why ?
-Is it important to you to keep this “surplus socity of unemployed and Migrants” ?
-And how absolut is this Position is it for times of prosperity or also for times of economic downturn ?
-The Artisans and Craftsman , should they be recruited from the Periphery with Illustrive Jobs or should the Companies better be forced to educated their craftsman themself insted of extrating them from the Periphery ?
Superstructure- Questions the Ideology (Individuum in Focus)
-Are you Inclusive person ? Are you Racist ?
-Are you Cultural Supramacist / Tolerant ? (in relation to Immigrants)
-Are you Leftwing ?, Rightwing ? . Xenophobe ? (in relation to ImmigraTION)
-Categorization of Immigants along Kultural , Racial , Historical lines
-What does X deserve ?
–>there is no “Pro Imigration” position in Marxism , it doesnt really exist . One is when not Moraly decayed “Pro Immigrant” (Xenia) , but you dont wish Ideologicly for homelands to be left desolated and people having to Move (I PUSH and PULL Factors) . One simply Helps people in need , but one does not “wish for more Needy People”.
what the fuck are you on about
Contrary to metaphysics, dialectics does not regard nature as an accidental agglomeration of things, of phenomena, unconnected with, isolated from, and independent of, each other, but as a connected and integral whole, in which things, phenomena are organically connected with, dependent on, and determined by, each other. The dialectical method therefore holds that no phenomenon in nature can be understood if taken by itself, isolated from surrounding phenomena, inasmuch as any phenomenon in any realm of nature may become meaningless to us if it is not considered in connection with the surrounding conditions, but divorced from them; and that, vice versa, any phenomenon can be understood and explained if considered in its inseparable connection with surrounding phenomena, as one conditioned by surrounding phenomena. Contrary to metaphysics, dialectics holds that nature is not a state of rest and immobility, stagnation and immutability, but a state of continuous movement and change, of continuous renewal and development, where something is always arising and developing, and something always disintegrating and dying away. The dialectical method therefore requires that phenomena should be considered not only from the standpoint of their interconnection and interdependence, but also from the standpoint of their movement, their change, their development, their coming into being and going out of being.
