Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Noticeable things: more money to NATO. Palestina should apply a 'two-state solution' and Europe should oversee 'fair elections in Palestina. Europe should be tougher on China.

Capitalism is mentioned once in their 93 page long programme, in the context of US surveillance capitalism (???).

Their national ideas are half decent and better than the last decades of neoliberalist terror. But I've decided that I still won't vote them even as harm reduction. Back to the study board to decide whatever I want to vote.

The funny thing is; the Market Liberals are the most open to cozying up to China, as they're just following the money. The Dutch left has seemingly been trying to emulate Obama era politics and is wholly disconnected from leftism, willing to even give up socialwelfarism as long as it means they can be part of the inner circle.

Long time since I've seen you around. But yes, you're right. Also, the solution of the Dutch left to appeal to voters again is to just move to the center instead of, you know, having values.

I'm in China, studying socialism and propaganda. Every other week or I check the top posts, but that's about it. I'm a lot happier.
