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

A while ago I talked about the Dutch socdem coalition Green/Labour and their party programme, which included a two state solution for Palestina, more money to NATO among other things.

Today the far right party FVD made their programme available, and it includes.... peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, deprofitization of healthcare, political asylum to Assange and Snowden (not Manning, though, she's trans after all), removal from EU and NATO.

MFW a far right party has LESS imperialist talking point than the 'hope of the left' lmao. Don't get me wrong, there's still fascist talks of anti-LGBTQ+ stuff and all. But fucking hell Dutch left get your shit together.

It's been like this ever since the First World War, especially now. It is the right-wing—not the left-wing—that is interested in economic self-sufficiency and derailing away from the transatlantic partnership. This is the case, especially in Germany, where many people are upset with the transatlantic status quo and are voting for parties, like the Alternative for Germany (AfD), instead.

Ironically, AfD is still pro-NATO and pro-transatlantic partnership.

I thought that AfD is rapidly gaining popularity among the masses because the party calls for a more independent foreign policy away from NATO, such as re-strengthening relationships with Russia and China, as well as distancing Germany from the US. Please excuse me if I am mistaken.
