Around 1,000 activists, many clad in black and wearing masks, marched through the streets of Paris on Saturday to commemorate the 1994 death of an ultra-nationalist student. The event, which was initially banned, took place without major incident, according to police, though 13 arrests were made. A counter rally was not authorised.

This is crazy to witness after seeing a poll on twitter asking where, in Europe, could you realistically see a communist revolution happening. Between the UK, France, Poland, and Romania, France was the winner with Romania in second place.

It's a 0.0002% vs 0.0001% type of question anyway.

Unfortunately, Poland is as far from any communist revolution as it can be. The liberals and right-wingers are dominating the political discourse. During the current presidential elections, you can say that there is a trend of a slow but steady increase in the popularity of the leftist party "Razem" (Together), but it's marginal at 5%. Communism / Russia are worse "state enemies" than, for example, Germany / Nazis. There is a lot of work to do.

So that's that, this is how far right we are as a country. You know well, that they are 'extremely left wing' in Poland.

Yeah, if they were real socialists their party would be treated like KPP. Though it was pretty fun seeing them split from SLD after being ratfucked by them like every single left-succdem party before.

Succdems never learn, ever.

Yes, but I think at every time a communist revolution has any chance of happening, a fascist takeover is also on the table. The reason is twofold, the capitalist class will want to remain in power so it will look after fascist groups to coup the government and reducing democratic rights (like happened in operation condor in South America); capitalism will very likely to be in crisis, so fascist groups will try to win over the dispossessed proletarians and unhappy petit bourgeois to shift them ideologically to the far right.

The last is what is likely happening right now in the whole global north. Since our communist parties are disorganized, the anger sentiment of the population is being captured by the far right.
