Foreign leftists thread

I remember making a thread "leftism by country" iirc
Good thread,cant find it now..

I say we make an Esperanto thread or bust. that at least means you're willing to educate and apply yourself.

Whenever I remember Esperanto I always remember some memes in fucking Esperanto that someone posted here a while ago. Now I couldn't understand fuck all, but the sole concept of Esperanto memes make me lmao to this day.

Mi estas burgerulo kaj mi parolas esperanton do eble tiu ne vere funkcius

Okay, is here anyone from poland? I'm really interested in their leftist community. I've read recently, that being a communist there is considered illegal and you get locked up immediately.

Mi dubas

For real? Wow, I had no idea, are you sure that actually happens in Poland? I mean it wouldn't really surprise me either way, but damn. Anyway, I'm chilean and the socialist left, the left that actually matters is pretty much dead here, which is unfortunate considering that this country has had a very interesting leftist history. I mean nowadays there are like only two relevant communist parties, one which is revisionist beyond salvation and a pretty hardline ML party that has like 30,000 members.

Krytyka Polityczna is one leftist paper that comes to mind. Also 'Nie' edited by Jerzy Urban.

'Communist symbols' are equated with fascist symbols and using them is illegal. Its obviously disproportionately used against leftists, where only shit like just using the swastika could maybe get you in trouble but its more 'because its the evil germans and fascism is german btw' rather than any actual suppression of fascists who are rife and spread their propaganda freely.
Some communists got arrested and sentenced to 9 months forced labour iirc for distributing the communist party newspaper which is probably what you're referring to.

But there is still a ML party with 30.000 members?!
How can you say, that the left is dead in your country, when there is such a huge communist party?
Here in Germany, we have two "big" communist parties. Both have around 2500 members.

huh

I know it sounds like a lot, but it really isn't that much. All the other mainstream parties (both leftwing and rightwing) have way more than that. Also, to give you an idea how irrelevant they truly are, in our latest election in 2017, that party got like ~20.000 votes. Not only is that less than the actual members of the party, but that is roughly 0.8% of all the people that voted. And lastly, while the party itself is pretty legit and antirevisionist I wouldn't be surprised if they are composed mostly of people joining purely for the edge factor.

Amazing how anyone still uses that site after 2007.

every country should have its own revolving general tbh

this is an anti-idpol leftist board. it should be focused on America.
imo a general like this is better since most countries don't have idpol issues.

The eternal burger strikes again!

Welp, I can plug my Party's news page

news.dkp.suhail.uberspace.de

you mean the country with the least amount of leftism in the west? the one that has a retarded two party system?

have you considered suicide?

In general communism is legal in Poland, as long as you don’t openly promote totalitarian practices (i. e. Praising Stalin and other similar figures can get you in trouble). As far as I know there are a few active Polish leftist Youtubers. Although most of them have very few subs even by Polish YouTube standard, this channels seem to experience growth right now:

Towarzysz michał: youtube.com/channel/UCSyTtn4i8vYD19olFzZoB_Q
He is a Polish Stalinist who lives in France (he had leave Poland due to legal reasons outlined above). His channel was probably the first relatively popular and active polish M-L channel, which had opened the way for other, less popular channels with similar content. I do not agree with everything he says (especially his social stance on things like LGBT rights, where it seems that he tries to pander to social conservatives and reactionaries) and I am not a fan of totalitarian communism personally; nevertheless he made some great content, producing hundreds of videos on topics related to Marxist theory, history of communist movements and states, and current events. This is probably the biggest Polish-speaking M-L channel. Other M-L channels include:

Antykapitalista: youtube.com/user/Antykapitalista
Polski socjalista: youtube.com/channel/UCds7aALeYtfd5Ycr9cILLkA
POSTEPtv: youtube.com/user/POSTEPtv

This list is definitely not exhaustive, as there are many smaller channels which you can find by looking at the list of related channels.

As for the anarchist channels, I know this one:
Posłuchaj o anarchiźmie: youtube.com/channel/UCrI9O9_-dbWDGSflUuEslbw
It’s a very good channel with top quality content. However, since this guy focuses more on quality rather on quantity, he uploads videos rarely (once per few months, as opposed to towarzysz michał, who makes new content daily). Other smaller anarchist channels include:

Radykalny Kinematograf: youtube.com/channel/UCb3jZ4r8KU1vUjQRC5V4dTg/videos
Antifa TV: youtube.com/channel/UCWfZSMPRJG43TsFhHofXsOA

Again there are probably few other anarchist channels that I do not know of.

Wow, thanks for sharing. I have finally a reason to work on my polish skills.
