Dachau was memorialized after the reign was toppled. Maybe the same needs to happen in Tiananmen as well first.

The two you mentioned are in somewhat of a grey area. Mostly centrist policies when they get a chance to govern. Even dipping their toes to pure right-wing to limit nurses' worker's rights with their previous term.

In any case it's not quite approved to publicly state to be against capitalism at our government level but the Left Alliance is currently the only one with leftist suggestions.

No but I've visited Dachau. I think that's enough for mass event locations for me

Legally our ministers are required to be "known for their integrity and ability to serve" and be truthful. Those aren't possible with ties to undemocratic organizations

Also do note that the called confidence vote was larger than our leftists

Also simple solutions and scapegoats to complex issues. Elite is safer when the people fight each other

Finland's new economic affairs minister and member of the nationalist Finns Party, Vilhelm Junnila, survived a confidence vote in parliament on Wednesday.

MPs votes on the measure fell 95-86 with three abstentions and 15 absences.

The confidence vote was called by three opposition parties, the Left Alliance, Green and Social Democratic parties, due to Junnila's previous controversial statements and links to far-right groups.

Seven Swedish People's Party MPs voted against Junnila, with the other three abstaining. Three National Coalition MPs were absent for the vote, but the other government party MPs voted their confidence in the controversial politician.

Junnila has joked about his election number (88) referencing 'Heil Hitler', campaigned at an election under the "gas" slogan and spoken at at least one event organised by a far-right group.

The recently-appointed minister apologised last week for his comments and actions, following two days of media controversy about the matter.

MPs also voted on the government programme, with 106 voting to support it, 78 voting against, and one abstention. 15 legislators were away for that vote.

Sheesh, centuries vs dictatorships. Ridiculous polarization.

A revolution needs to happen sooner rather than later but fascism with a red disguise shouldn't come near it.

Globes, olive branches, different kinds of circles (stars there again, hands joining with each other like the Ubuntu logo). Probably still in red.
