Far-Left Austrian President: All Women Must Wear Headscarves to Fight Islamophobia

Austria’s far-left president, Alexander Van der Bellen, has suggested that one day all women must wear headscarves to fight Islamophobia.

During a talk to students, Van der Bellen said that whilst be believes a woman should wear “whatever she wants”, should Austria’s “rampant Islamophobia continue, there will come a day when we must ask all women to wear a headscarf – all of them! – out of solidarity towards those who do it for religious reasons”.

Van der Bellen, who was sworn in as president in January after defeating anti-mass migration Freedom Party candidate Norbert Hofer in last December’s presidential re-run, has spoken of his support for abolishing national borders and creating a federal Europe, describing it as a “project of peace”.

Whilst running on an election platform in 2007 for the Austrian Greens, Van der Bellen presided over a poster that declared: “Anyone who loves Austria must be sh*t.”

However, the Austrian president has little influence over Austrian policy, with his role as president mainly symbolic and ceremonial.

His comments run against recent legislation passed by the Austrian government, who last month banned the full-face Islamic veil, known as the burqa, in public places as part of a new integration package.

In response to the ban, between 2,000 and 3,000 mainly Muslim women protested in the streets of Vienna under the slogan “MuslimBanAustria – My Body, My Right to Self-Determination,” while accusing the government of “Islamophobia”.

Micronationalism is cancer.Sage for brietbart.

So the left supports hatred of women, racism and homophobia as long as the offenders are not White?

The left supports creating an. environment where women feel safe enough to make their own decisions.

just go back to Holla Forums please

everyone who is remotely electable and isn't a shit eating raving Stalinist peasant is a capitalist liberal

Evasion noted. Islam makes the Westboro Baptist Church 'protests' look like a gay pride parade.

...

I'm not from pol. Do you have a rebuttal?

...

Go to gulag

Leftists want to destroy capitalism. That's the only thing we agree upon around here. Liberals want to keep it around and dress it up in all sorts of social issues like "civil rights" for minorities. Take those definitions and see which one better applies to Bellen.

People like that
are the reason this board is less watched than Holla Forums.
They are incapable of having rational, open-minded discussions.
They speak solely to reinforce their own POV, not challenge it.
I wish a virus would sweep through and kill everyone with an I.Q. under 100.
Then I'd see less of that crap on the internet.

So? You think CBS News will cover this?

This is the kind of shit-tier posting I expect on regular pleb-Holla Forums. Show me a REAL source that he actually said this or fuck off.

My problem with leftists is that they think in subtractive terms.
They see something that's less than perfect and want to destroy it, providing no replacement.
That kind of mindset can destroy everything we call '1st world lifestyle'.

What they should be doing is aiming for an additive approach.
Instead of destroying the oil industry, provide cheaper clean energy.
Instead of destroying capitalism, provide infinite wealth via Von Neumann nanites and efficient particle manipulation.

You're lying. Do you have a rebuttal?

um, have you not heard of communism or socialism? cuz that pretty much sums up our replacement

Why is Holla Forums so absolutely utterly idiotic?

Well done. Sage this shitpost literally copied from Holla Forums.

Except for that isn't wrong. If you've found

We have a whole thread on cybernetic planning, so you can't say we don't make stuff. Plus, it was the USSR that won the space race in every meaningful way. Capitalism always puts the gains in productivity of technology to further capital accumulation, not the meeting of human needs. So long as production for exchange is not replaced with production for use, the worker will be exploited and humanity will be immiserated in an age of plenty.

Here's a good book that you should read before hitting that "post" button again.

As for the rest of you, stop being so smug and just answer the questions. Yes, they're painfully dumb. But if you don't answer them, they continue to think we're liberals. FFS.

Here's how this works around here: Bernie, Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn, Melanchon, Syriza, the Swedish Social Democratic Party etc are all capitalist liberals and not left wing because they are electable and don't want to kill capitalists and are normie friendly.

Third world niggers who do kill "capitalists" and people with glasses like Mugabe and Ahmed Mohammed Mahmoud of Somaliland are too niggersih and shit like Venezuela are too third worldist, the only leftists that are currently in existance are Jimmy Dore, Slavoj Zizek and Jason Unruhe

Boppity boopty boop

You want to destroy capital instead of addressing the logistical inefficiencies of our technology in the first place.

That's your folly.
Everyone has more wants than they can produce.
They want the nice decent sized house with the grand piano and the 10 years of food supply…
They want the car that flies and the robot maids, etc.

But how in the world is your 'communism' going to solve ANY OF THAT?
By giving it to a select few like the Stalin Administration?

Infinite wealth cancels out money.
NOTHING ELSE.

I don't care about the number of people on Holla Forums or Holla Forums. The OP is just bad (v.d.Bellen is not a leftist and breitbart is without a doubt shit), so I called him out on it.


Maybe read actual leftist (or even liberal, because even they don't say this) thinkers and don't generalize based on cherrypicked examples you found on the internet. What you say is actually just embarrassing, "leftists think in subtractive terms". Oh man. Good post if you intended to troll though.

Planes were considered 'magic' in the 1700s.
Space flight was considered 'magic' in the 1900s.

Your comment is irrelevant, short-sighted and primitive.

Am Austrian. He actually said it. diepresse.com/home/innenpolitik/5207179/Wir-werden-alle-Frauen-bitten-muessen-ein-Kopftuch-zu-tragen-aus?xtor=CS1-15-[Economist]
It's a, imo, dumb statement but Holla Forumsredditors took it out of context and made it sound even shittier and are now jerking themselves off to it.

So, let's strip it down to the basics.
Scarcity = price surge.
Oversaturation = price drop.

So, you want MLE (moneyless economy)?
You need to FLOOD the world in wealth.

Your idiotic comment is an appeal to literal magic, beyond the fact that everyone could be well enough with better distributions of resources, rather than destroying surplus goods which are often vital for survival.

We are not at the technological level for such things to exist, and we will never be if capitalism continues.

You are a retard.

link to the thread

Witness, my good men, the truly magnificent argument the Holla Forumsluter puts forward. I am absolutely BTFO by such great arguing skills. Everyone go home.

And let's say it really is 'IMPOSSIBLE', but dictionary standards.
Okay, well then so is utopia by MLE.

So you've just proved my point.
Communism isn't the solution to ANYTHING.

by dictionary*

space flight was achieved through government funded r&d, not the free market you know

There was demand for space flight and it was met.

Moronic non sequitur. Communism doesn't come right away after capitalism. It would do you very well to know what you're arguing about before embarrassing yourself.

I'm not from pol. I have visited this site several times and pol not once in the last month.
Got sick of the Stormfront bullshit.

Are you gonna defend the Cenk Uyugur model of socialism? Because government funded R&D and military industrial spending are and implicit part of the capitalist system overall

You don't know what a non sequitur is.
The topic was communism, MLE and I proposed that technology is the solution, not your stupid system change.

System changes never change the human condition, but I guess you forgot the 250 million KILLED BY THEIR OWN COMMUNISTIC GOVERNEMNTS in the last 100 years.

So when I called you a retard, I was sparing everyone the TL;DR of why you're a retard.

thinks we're all tankies and stalinists
Look up libertarian communism/socialism

Well you can start by reading, for one. Authors much better than me have, you know, sort of tackled that question already.

Nevertheless we live in a post-scarcity society. Here in the US we have about 500,000 or so stably homeless people, as in long term homeless. We have about 17 million unoccupied homes as well. We foreclose and kick people out on the street yet simultaneously we have an excess of what they need. This also applies to other things, like food, where we throw out about 1/3 of what we make.

So keep buying into the scarcity meme, but recognize most of it is artificial. LIkewise automation, which gets better every year, will only make things even more available.

yeah, a demand by STATES to exert geopolitical control and fear over one another. Is there no market demand for space now?

The state and capitalism prop each other up; neither can exist without the other in some form. My point is, nerds like think the free market is responsible for every venture made by the US up to now.

By the fucking government

Cybernetics thread is here:
If this fuckpile of a thread leads one more person to contribute to the cybernetics thread it will have all been worth it.


t. never read Dauve

I don't give a rat's ass what you call it.
System changes don't do shit to help humanity.
We could be a monarchy, dictatorship, commie republic, an cap, etc.–
And the same .0001% of the population would have all the wealth.

Because we've not addressed the problem of scarcity.
When ANYTHING is scarce, even if you don't 'need' it, it becomes valuable and HOARDED.

So you try to put the scarce resources in a pile and someone's going to steal that shit.
He can be Stalin, the SJWs, Anti-fa, whatever.
Doesn't matter.

.0001% will always have everything.
Unless NOTHING IS SCARCE.

Citation needed

so what's your point? we should concede all of our freedoms because there will always be someone who controls everything?

fucking bootlicker pussy

A moneyless economy doesn't require muh magical technology. Communism won't magically occur against capitalism, but you are unable to read.

But I suppose we totally didn't go through several stages of ownership, we were always capitalists.


Care to hook up important texts?

You never had any freedoms. It's been 11,000 years of caste systems.
Only now have we come anywhere close to solving the scarcity problem.

How? For instance in a decentralized, directly democratic society, how does one become that tiny fraction that has all the wealth?


Its almost like you are arguing for anarcho-communism and you just don't realize what it is yet. This is amusing.

Except that's empirically wrong.

It's a stupid idea, and you are stupid for thinking we'd support it. Also stupid for quoting Breitbart.
>>>Holla Forums

empirically wrong, the nordic countries in the 70s were economically very equal (because of high taxes etc.). And that's inside the capitalist system. Saying that politics doesn't matter is just retarded. Please, you are just embarrassing yourself, just inform yourself instead of making up stuff.

You plainly have trouble reading.
I'm a technocrat.

I believe technology can solve these problems, not your stupid government structures that you learned this spring in your college class.

Politics don't matter. There's supply and demand.
Crime, war, border changes, laws designed to control, steal from and oppress the citizens–

Almost all of it is derived from the illusion of scarcity.
The other small portion is caused by Islam and other kinds of brain damage.

I suspect you'll be returning to this board often before long future comrade

Do you have an epub copy? I read on my phone because TTS is my preference.

I have a Ph.D. I am the teacher

And where did you post that? I clearly didn't see that. But guess what, the majority of communists are technocrats as well. We welcome automation because in a communist society it means you have to work less. In a capitalist society, it means you starve because your job was replaced by robots.

...

No, actually, I'm about finished with this board, permanently.
I'm not that smart, but I feel like a genius talking to these proto-humans.

No one gives a fuck about your small dick syndrome.
I have a doctorate in not giving any fucks.

Jeez, these numbers just get higher and higher

Bon voyage.

pls do not bully small dicks

Hit up the cybernetics thread or the empirical marxism thread before you go though. I swear we're not all as retarded as the board average. And we're aware of the problems you've correctly identified.

I love how he was basically arguing our same points that wealth has been concentrated in a few hands over the course of history and only now we have a chance at controlling it. Like he agrees with us on that, he just feels the need to bootlick instead of doing something about it.

Holy fuck, Holla Forums BTFO

Bon voyage, indeed.
I'm going to go back to watching the stock market do nothing and YouTube vids.

You keep wallowing in your agrarian, obsolete mindset that ignores 11,000 years of history.

I'm really sorry I tried to engage this board in actual discussion.
It's like I stepped into Holla Forums, but didn't realize it.

I will. Thanks.

Well why haven't you finished leaving you euphoric autist?

>>>Holla Forums

>>>/reddit/

I don't post on reddit. Try harder.

I am sure you will find it more to your liking.

mods pls, get this junk out of here.

if you want to be taken seriously, post a serious source

Hiveminds are for collectivist us vs. them morons such as yourself.

...

That's what I don't understand. He was basically agreeing with a lot of what I was saying but arguing about it.


dude you are the lousiest debater I've encountered on this board. Like you barely made any of your ideology know and got btfo over tiny facets of my replies without actually addressing anything I was saying (like here>>1615969)

And then you run off crying about how we're all protohumans when you can't even seem to articulate an argument or formulate a counterpoint.
