Communists are back in power in Czech Republic

no, it's the perfect fucking way to describe "communists" in the eastern block. Crusty-dicked old dudes, liking "communism" because they have nice memories from the cold war era. I'm talking from first hand experience, from a "westernised" ex-eastern block country: they don't read Marx, Lenin, or even Stalin they just hang their pictrues on the wall. They know no fucking theory, have no clue about the labour theory of value, class dialectics or even fucking democratic centralism. They oppose unionising and protesting austerity. Hopeless, stupid old fucks with alzheimer's. My fucking kitchen faucet is more of a leftist.

a few more things: they dislike nato because it "drives us away from russia" not because it's imperialist (they don't know what theat is, either), and not because it forces small and already exploited nations to sustain a large military.
they fucking LOVE our reactionary government because they keep the scary brown people away, and because they raise pensions and they completely ignore how they're siezing all land and industry for their capitalist frineds, and how they're selling the our labour power and resources to germany.

Dude i feel you
This is the truth for any country with a large(historycal) "communist" present

Sounds like the KPRF to me, I was just getting my hopes up.

Don't get excited Czech commies are EuroCom SocDems

they don't even hit eurocom level mate.

I've been getting interested in the Czech Republic recently, thinking about maybe visiting there someday if I ever get out of my current depression and get a job Can anyone from the Czech Republic or anyone who has ever lived there please give me a crash course on its history in the Eastern Bloc, how it viewed Leftism after that, its current political economy etc?

I read a bit about it on Wikipedia last night and it seems to be essentially on the level of modern Germany as far as its welfare system and strongly liberal government goes, as well as its indifference to any real Leftist movement

Are you American? Pls don't come if yes

Is anti-capitalistism fairly strong there?

It growing day by day with the anti nato and pro putin sentiment.
Also you guys are just cancer, I hate you. Fuck you. I don't want trash like you around

I assume you meant anti-capitalistism because of the world filter

...

I meant Anti-A/merican yeah forgot about the word filter

K m8 I'm sorry

Back in power once again!

Reminder that the government of Hungary in 1946 was a communist one, and that they got voted in with (literally) a million more votes than the Liberal party.

This is 100% percent true from what I've observed in Romania. All the "communist" movement here is Ceaușists trying to bring the country back to its good old days of rationing while building palaces.
They say nothing about Ceaușescu's outright national chauvinistic policies, the glorification of the Romanian man, the illegalization of abortions and contraceptives etc.

They only bring the obviously not incorrect points of the country being heavily industrialized and almost independent of the western sphere, the massive housing blocks being distributed for free to the working class, the free education and healthcare and so on.

I fucking hate Ceausescu supporters so much. I just want modern communism, not backwater nationalist oportunistic supporting-pol pot queue ridden Romanian socialism.

Again, just a liberal socdem party. Slovakia is far closer to communism than these wannabees

WHO GIVES A SHIT
As long as they stand by my side I'd rather have them than leftcoms, dengists or redliberals

how'd you know and why?
should I come live in slovakia or czechia, I like to drink and I like modesty. I'm euro and i like stalin

I lived in Prague for a summer and it's pretty different from the rest of the country. Prague is getting pretty cosmopolitan now but tourism is also making the average Praguer pretty anti-capitalist. Honestly the Czechs hate capitalism and Soviet communism with equal fervor. Czechs on average are pretty nationalist and anti-immigrant. The older Czechs who are pro-commie kinda give off a Nazbol vibe. They are pretty jaded as a people but manage to be less spooked on religion unlike Slovakia which is essentially controlled by the Catholic church.
They tend to despise Soviet communism due to the amount of repression from the secret police exerted on the populace and honestly the USSR did fuck up a lot with their over-policing off the Czech people. This historical oppression gave way to a lot of student activism which accumulated in the Velvet Revolution.
The younger generation is more progressive but the express the same criticisms towards capitalism and multiculturalism. Racism is less of a problem with the younger generation
Prague is really different from the rest of the country, which is pretty reactionary
Hope this helps. I've visited Prague twice since then and the refugee crisis has exacerbated the racial and anti-capitalism tensions. One would only hope they go full EuroCom but they are too attached to their victim mentality that they express through nationalist chauvinism.
They are good people if you meet them halfway but they come off as really cold.
Also they hate the Euro and for good reason because it drops wages and increases the cost of living

Americans are not fucking welcome, why you keep coming here? Can't you just leave us alone

Case and point. Hatred of outsiders is a Czech national pastime. That and drinking at a beer garden
I'll agree that the tourism industry is a fucking cancer and needs to be abolished. It's making Prague into the next Paris and that city cannot handle the amount of tourists it receives
cheap beer and beautiful women, oh Czechia how I miss you so

Dude I'd be ok if you were anything by American. You guys are trash

I concur. Burgers are the scum of the earth

Glad to see Euro's anti-capitalistism is at an all time high. Do me a favor and shit on every American tourist that you find. I hate being around other Americans when traveling abroad. I just wanna be quiet, drink beer, and enjoy the beautiful sites

Dude I randomly attack and mug families when I can. I don't even need money

*anti-Americanism
is this another world filter or am I just suffering from burger mentality?

Word filter

I bet you're on the number 9 tram a lot. Easy pickings if you want to steal some drunk tourists' wallet
Also I heard there is a big squat community in Prague. Is that true?

anti-Americanism
Another one?

It's on my way home. I take it if i'm drunk I'll attack anyone if they seem americans.
I mean the place is fucking shit oustide of the turist/mainstream zones. Yes. There a lot of gypsys too.

Not even OG czech btw, I'm here because I can't go back to my home country (another European country). People are not cold nor racist with me. We get wasted, talk shit, offer drinks to each other. I hate tourism because it makes people colder, 7 years ago was totally different

Fucking hell I can't escape my shithole of a country.

Ukrainian?
I've had some good time drinking with Czechs. When you're on their good side they are funniest people to drink with.
That's alienation for ya. My condolences, tourism as an industry and a commodity needs to be destroyed

Nope. ITT people are saying that as long as you are not american you are ok in our eyes. Maybe not in the others but fuck you you American piece of shit, kys. You are worst than the fucking plague. Worst than gypsies or Muslim, I'd replace the entire country with them if this means no americans.
We just don't fucking want you, don't brake balls. Go to fucking Canada or something faggot piece of shit

What's wrong with us yankees though? I think the stereotype of us is that we are good tippers but we are also really rude.
At least I'm not a fucking chink you faggot.

Nope. Rather not specify tho, sorry. Not slav
Slovaks are even better please leave slovakia alone tho
It sucks yes, but I'd be ok if turist were civilized. Really don't give a shit if they get wasted or start talking shit. What I'm disgusted by are PUA fags like roosh mostly, sex turist and other cheap stakes piece of shit that think they own the place because they have a better passport . Like what the fuck man, how fucking desperate.
Fact is that most of these are americans. Plus I happen to talk to a few recently and it was depressing as fuck. As soon as they understood how much I hated America they said "It's Normal. With a guy like trump!" or the pua guy said something like "I know! America spreads femminism". Like how fucking disconnected from the real world you must be? What the fuck. Fucking animals, animals. Anglos are trash too but at least you get some quality drinking and banter with those. Americans are unable to hold a bar conversation. Everything they do seems so fucking fake

This is what's wrong. The total absence of humility and self awareness

You think I was joking?

Chinks are people who willingly eat goddamn shit. Unlike us Americans who like to drink lead in our water.
Americans are pretty shit though, but I am still hella mad that I won't be able to join up in a communsit country. Despite humiliating myself in order to try to promote it over here. Yet you assholes can just have it without any damn effort.

It's understandable to hate tourists especially when they treat the place like a giant brothel. Completely disgraceful towards the inhabitants that live there regardless of whether or not they're immigrants
Fakeness is a huge problem in burgerstan since people are basically conditioned since birth to display certain attitudes that will get them far in life. Also privilege has a tendency for sheltering people against reality. I blame the high amount of alienation in American society which essentially puts people in a herd mentality where they will say anything that they think will give them the upper hand in the conversation. Honesty is not an American characteristic and this probably
The US just needs to fall like Rome tbh, hopefully we can build something better from the ashes and as soon as the great Satan is toppled all the cultural imperialism will fall along with it. Traveling and living in Europe made me understand the anti-capitalist sentiment a whole lot more but honestly as a burger I've never gotten much shit in Europe. I was calm, quiet, and respectful so most locals just left me be. Americans on average are fucking loud so they can be heard miles away.

This is straight up racist you burger piece of shit.
No shit they do strange stuff, they live far away. That said worst case scenario this guys throw a cigarette in the wrong place (i mean Chinese btw. Never met koreans or Japanese who act particularly strange)

Honesty is not an American characteristic and this probably due to the fact that capitalism is so ingrained in American culture
fuck my drunk burger ass

Well whatever, yeah I can be kind of an asshole and so can most Americans. However I don't think a lot of us are particularly mean or whatever. Where I live people are downright pleasant to each other.
The south is a shithole though.

And, typical of communists, they got their seat at the table by betraying their voter base and supporting the Capitalist, pro NATO, anti-immigrant candidate because he offered to let them join a coalition.

Odd how you commies love communism yet never seem to pay attention to what communists actually do. Aside from that,. Eastern European communists look to China for their direction. Do you honestly think China is better than Western society?

I'm going to FUCK Akane.

I give wrong directions on purpose when I recognize an american accent from tourists.

As you should. Dumbasses should learn how to into GPS

...

Based. Non-Yankee gang solidarity is real.

Wrong, that would be Moldova.
also, czech government is a coalition, all the real power lies with some populist faggot who is a climate change denier, strong israel supporter, and a bunch of other shit.
Wouldn't participation by communists in such a sham be called opportunism?

Daily reminder that the government in Yugoslavia in 1945 was voted into power after the leaders, together with the masses, spent 4 years fighting nazis and fascists in the woods.

Likewise the communist party in Albania

This actually reads like a fucking baboon post

why do they call themselves the party of bohemia and moravia

Yankee BEGONE

The reason is that the Communist Party of Czechia was outlawed in 1991 following the Velvet divorce, so they just renamed it bohemia and Moravia (since they are the two main constituents of Czechia) and carried merrily on their way.

How come they're not banned? Communism is banned in pretty much all of Eastern Europe, much like nazism is in the Western Europe.

Because the power of renaming works wonders
I used to be in a swim club that was deep in debts
And what they did is just rename and got out of it

lol

Nah. In Serbia and Slovenia it is still o.k. In Slovenia there are even a new generation of marxists in daily parliament (but they watered down soon after getting into parliament). They are not old nostalgic commies, but young guns who read theory etc.

The DDR party funneled the money into the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung.

I mean sure we have communist organizations and a party, but how good they are?
Also are you from Slovenia?

Most of them aren't very good, but at least the Levica is able to exist and even thrive, while this would be unheard of in Croatia, Romania, Slovakia etc. etc.

IDŠ was good shit a couple of years ago, so was Iskra (but they turned heavily to just environmentalism now)

Hell no

It's always liberal idpol with you redditors, always

Not American, not even saying its bad, just pointing out that it reads literally like a boon post

LENINSAPKA GANG

Are there are any Czech that can comment on the subject matter?

A fascist party, named People's party our Slovakia, got 8,04% of the votes in 2016 thanks to ruble funding and promises of solving gypsy and corruption problem. Party leader (pic related) will even run for president soon. Now they sit in opposition, crying about muh Soros which is pretty funny and one feels almost like in Hungary. I am looking forward presidential debates. I find extremely funny how fuhrer always cries about being victim at first, then proceed to act like he is a strong guy who will make Slovakia great after which every politician (often quite hypocritically), and even often even debate moderator, start attacking him and buttfuck him like cheap whore.

The vast majority of his voters I seen on photos from some protests have, thanks to clear shaved heads, have quite visible skull deformation, which looks just like deformations made by long-term meth use. Pure coincidence, I believe. I live in a shared flat, and I have lived a few months with one fascist party member. A little mentally retarded person, working as head cashier at a supermarket. I told myself:, ok, let's try to not look at politics, we will leave some time together". We had a beer together, he seemed like an OK guy. Or that might just be my naivety and personality of being able to get along with fellow proles. Some time after that he started to command me, and probably even other people living in flat, which I always politely rejected and offered a future compromise, which got me marked probably as "jewish supporter" and he started complaining about me (and probably also other flatmates) to the landlord, and when he started to make up bullshit about me, landlord got fed up and sent him away.

That said, I am not denying that there live lot's of true fascists(tm) - petty bourgs reading fascist literature and so on and on - I know them mostly from our extremily slow imageboards, but they prefer voting our liberal party.

tl;dr: If fascism comes to Slovakia, it will be brought by liberal party, not ruble-funded meme nationalist party. Also, if our commie party did not forget about trio "agitate, educate, organize", reactionaries would never be able to get into parliament.
