This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

“The Socialist Party […] (was) founded in 1971 as the Communist Party of the Netherlands/Marxist–Leninist”

Wow based. Wait a minute…

“the party has since moderated itself from Marxism–Leninism and Maoism towards democratic socialism and social democracy.”

Ah yeah…..

Welcome to Europe. The party called the social democrats are liberals. The socialists are social democrats. And the party called the "Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary Communists" are the moderate socialists who get 3% of the vote and sometimes they endorse policies to ban all foreigners

I mean, the PCP (Portuguese Communist Party) is pretty decent… and… yeah…

I finally understand liberals now. This is what cultural marxism must be about.

I wonder if that moderation happened before or after Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti left

“In 1991, the SP officially scrapped the term Marxism–Leninism because the party had evolved to the point that the term was no longer considered appropriate.”

Also, the party has a “left conservative” wing that opposes worker migration… feels like a chud party masquerading as leftists.

Since it happened in 1991, it's definitely related to the fall of USSR.

Sounds a bit like the SLF in Lithuania (any lithuanian comrade here who can provide a better analysis of the SLF) From what I've read, the SLF seems like a patsoc/nazbol org

A Dutch socialist. That's like being a death metal drummer in a boy band.

I live in the Netherlands and the people who call themselves socialists here are invariably Trotskyists or Social Democrats. It has a reputation of being some kind of "leftist", "progressive" country but it's politics are neoliberal and people are hyper individualistic. I think the " Polder model" is a result of a mindset that's the result of being eternally under threat of flooding and the cooperation that needs to happen to prevent that. Otherwise it would be the Texas of Europe.

Wdym "the Texas of Europe"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Neither have been great analogies to be fair. I meant to imply some kind of "rugged individualism", self orientation, insular, anti-social, me me me.

Any socialist party in the Netherlands who aren't larping, reformist, or infighting?

I wasn't really a gotcha though... Just want to equate the Netherlands, my place of birth, with something else than the feeling of dread and misery.

Unfortunately, pretty much all of principled left parties have been systematically eradicated in the west at this point. We have a lot of people who mean well, but it's doing to take a lot of effort to start building serious parties.
