ITT : Communist/Far-Left parties in your country
| In my country communist parties and symbols are banned so... the farthest left you will find is Social Democrats.
| In Austria we have a communist party. The problem is that the Social Democrats purged the Communists.
Our newly elected Government has 1. Far right party for corporations and business owners who copied the fascist rhetoric. Basically like republicans in the US. 2. second strongest party; A legit fascist party with legit holocaust deniers and fascists. 3. 'Social Democratic' Party but more like Hillary Clinton.
| 4. Classical Liberal Party who wants a Social State, but no rent regulation, the EU and free trade. 5. A guy who split of the green party who were created through the 68-Anti War movement. It evolved at first into an anti atomic energy party which all the teachers are voting for and now evolved into some useless Bourgeois seemingly leftist party. They were deelected this time. But a more right wing guy split of from them and was elected lmao.
| So yeah Austria has legit no left alternative. And the government is legit just right-wing, even with 5 parties in the parliament.
There is a Labour Party (PDA) which is just being built, and which is Marxist-Leninist. But I have no Idea how it will turn out, or if it will even get to any relevance. They lack both the funding and the people, so yeah.
| ps: Hitler came from Austria, wonder why lmao
| Well in germany there is the Marxist-Leninist party (MLPD), which is very present with posters if there are elections. It seems that they got a lot of money from a doctor and a mine worker that somehow was a millionaire in his old days. They don't have any seats in parliaments. Maybe a few in some communal councils. Same is for the german communist party (DKP) that allies sometimes with the „left party“. Last ones have several plattforms, also a communist one and a cuba workgroup.
| >>135041
The DPK was refounded after the former KPD was forbidden in west germany during cold war.
About the german „left party“ is also to add that they are stable around 10% in national elections. But all other party's refuse to work with them on this level. Even or especially the social democrats, which are traditional traitors to worker movements since their leaders rather suck capitalists dicks than doing even just social democratic politics. But federal level they ally.
| Continuing >>135048
The left party was formed from growing social movements in west germany (because of the neoliberal shift of social Democrats, which was the 3rd big trait) and parts of the reformed socialist party that ruled over east germany dictatorship. They still are strong in east germany and weaker in the west when it comes to elections. It's probably still a result of cold war propaganda on both sides. Now they have as hard stand against rising right winged partys.
| >>135045
>>135047
The left party is still a „real“ left party. It's becoming a bit more social democratic, since the social democrat party has no priciples anymore (again). The left party is a catch-them-all for communists, unionists, social movements, feminists, pacifists, environmentalists and everyone who thinks beeing left. Its pretty complicated and connected with a lot of unnecessary and annoying inner conflicts between this plattforms. I hope they manage it.
| >>135063 from an Austrian perception it seems like that you have a bunch of leftists people who vote for them and a bunch of people who want to give a big fuck you to the government. The left liberals and most SOCDEMS vote SPD and the Commies and Anarchists don't vote at all because 'Die Linke' isn't radical enough. I think potentially there would be a ton of real leftist people who could vote for them but they don't because of reasons.
| Germany has a long and sad history of cowardness, opportunism, traiting and separation in left partys, including (or especially) social Democrats. Think about the support for monarchists/militarists/nationalists during the great war. Or the brutal killing of „spartacists“ in Weimar.
Cowardness is like a cancer in modern german history.
| >>135066
The thing is, that leftist have bad expirience with „government at all costs“. They lack of self confidence, regarding the downfall of the soviet union and the GDR.
Also I would not say that SOCDEMS vote SPD, since they are corrupt and not social democratic at all (again).
They loose continuously in elections because people don't feel (economical, socialy) represented by them. Thanks to anti left-party campaigns, a lot of this people go for right winged partys.
| We have labour that wants socialism,and probably some other parties I can't remember the name of atm, British politics is basically communism/socialism Vs conservative Vs pc culture Vs the Muslim populace
| >>135736 don't forget all those independence parties, even though Scottish is the only worth mentioning
| >>135736
Don't forget about right winged party's like UKIP blaming for all what goes wrong in UK foreigners in- and outside the country, especially the EU and Muslims.
Basically thanks to Corbyn, its labour vs. neolibral parties.
| >>135995
I hope the scots go for independence. Most of them are much smarter and more lovely than the most teabags.
| Jenga is leftist
| bump
| Stop bumping threads for no reason.
| In Chile we have a comunist party that actually win mayor and congress elections and our last president was leftist, moderate but she and her team did what they could. The problem its that while the left its separated and fighting eachothers, the rigth is really united and have like all the resources of the country and rhe support from usa, so we lost this president election and things are going down for a few years
| Poland has faggots who are basically remnants of the communist regime and who bawl because they didn't get elected and the current party is making decisions which are actually helping our economy grow
| Коммунизм был ошибкой
| >>137613
The thing is, that there never was a „communist regime“. If there was one it horrible failed in getting rid of nazi scum once and for all. Because this is what rules in Poland, like in most ex-socialist/sowjet states and satellites.
A big exception are the slowaks. They are the only smart ones, not falling for right-winged populism and bourgeois lies about „free“ market.

| Brazil has a really default left party, but the main problem is that we're in a deep recession because of it. The Workers Party(from now on referred to as PT, their acronym here) was elected thrice in a row for presidency, and things went to utter shit in the meanwhile. Money being sent to Cuba(!) and Venezuela(!!) to fund their governments, while we got screwed over with taxes. Then people are trying to elect the dude who did all of this again.
| >>137613 have you even seen the thread title? Communist/far-left, not "opposition". Besides, economy grew as well when comrade Gierek was in charge...you can guess how it ended>>137756 he won't get it, unfortunately. His statement is the very same of what we currently have in mainstream media - the ruling party is the only non-communist party ever (even considering they have former Party members in the Parliament) and who doesn't agree is a leftie. Simply put.
| >>137900 niggawhat r u on about, the PARK didn't exit apparently then? So I'm guessing Gdynia 1970 was fake too? The fact that it was literally named "The Polish People's Republic" is just a name too? Dumb leftist fuck go back to Tumblr where you and your inbred kind belong
| >>138327
And for the 5st time: Was the German Democratic Republic and is the Democratic peoples republic Korea Democratic, just because its in their official name?
| >>138319
The biggest jokes in Spain are the facts that there is still a monarch and that it was ruled by facists Franco who was installed by Hitler even after WW2. An there is still his anoying daughter running arround. What a political Zombieland! We all know how to deal with zombies, monarchs and facists: pump them with bullets or sepparated their heads! The whole bloodline must be extincted, so that they can't rise from the dead.
| We have "communist" CPRF in Russia, "leftist" block LB, Russian Worker's Party, some CWP guys, United Communistic Party, Rot Front, NazBols... Plenty of them. All of them do barely nothing. Also we have Propaganda journal, Lenin Crew journal, Spinoza journal, Scepsis journal. And various groups in social media. *Many* tankies and Soviet patriots, but that isn't a big problem as I think. Much bigger problem is that there are many activists and small amount of theorists.
| Russian revolutionary party (RRP) I think.
| >>138575
Oops! Sorry, yesterday I made a mistake. Not Russian revolutionary party but Russian worker's party instead. РРП.
| >>138532 I think Russian Socialist Movement (Российское социалистическое движение) is also Trotskyist
| >>139082
The problem in Russia is, that trotzkyism is, thanks to stalins nationalism, associated with "traitor".
I would not call my self trotskyist, but I share a very important point of view: Socialism/Communism can only exist as a global system on the long term, not as a national or regional. This is why there must be a global/international revolution, not just a national. A key role plays the US here, where capitalists early managed to get rid of socialist/communist opposition.
| >>139108
In a global scale, america managed to get rid of socialist/comunist movemens by waging shameful wars and atrocities. Korean war. Vietnam war. Kambodia. Laos. Nicaraguan contras. These are but the most prominent ones.
To a great nation such as america, what threat could pose countries like those, enough to commit the worst warcrimes and use the most atrocious of wepons ever made?
| Child had really good socialist president that was democratically elected. Guess what happened to him... He was overthrown and killed by American CIA and local facist sympathisers.
| >>139228 wasn't that on 9/11 funny enough?
The CIA killing a whole cabinet of elected officials.
But poor sad america lost two towers to people who they funded and trained to fight the Soviets in afghanistan lmfao
| In Mexico its "RIGHT" or "small right"
| China is doing pretty well since they ditch everything in communism that is communist except the name
| These faggots are an awful plague - they're politically irrelevant, but they still menace universities and demonstrations
| >>140070
You're wrong. It was Northkorea that ditched everything in communism that is communist (In their Constitution even the name). And they are not doing pretty well.
China still has a communist agenda, but yeah, their economy follows capitalist logic and some kind of bourgeois class. But it all goes well along with the lack of human rights, democracy and environment protection. Also nationalism, M
Militarism and imperialism is increasing, while a lot of people stay poor.
| >>139267 Indeed. I wonder what could we do about it, how could people stand a chance against cartels and the military? Zapatists have done some cool things, I think we should follow the example, get armed and start living in a relatively independent government.
| There are none because this is 'Merica. We only get Euro Conservative vs Batshit crazy Christians.
| bump
| Here we once had one of the largest communist party in the world. Eradicated and banned after the CIA-backed 'coup' by the fascists.
Nowadays, left-wing party in this country is non existent.
| >>142675
Yeah, I forgot Chile, and several other south/central American and african countries.
The bourgeois is pretty serious about wiping out communists. This is also why socialist movements always become so paranoid. There is no other way then increasing international class consciousness and solidarity by counter the bourgeois agitation and propaganda of hate and separation.
