    80 years ago today the Communist Party of North Korea was founded, which eventually went on the become the ruling Workers’ Party. Glory to the DPRK.

    Have a good week, everyone! Times are rough right now, but I encourage all of you to stay positive, persevere, keep up with whatever personal goals you have! In troubled times, our efforts are most important.

    As always, comrades, communism will win.

    There’s this Dutch streamer who makes mostly Goofy reaction vids and for some reason he went into climate policies and his chat went: ‘but China pollutes so much!’

    And his response was how China is the factory of the world and not only that but they invest the most in green energy, and should be allowed to have some more pollution for being, you know, our factory.

    And I was like what the hell is this pro China talk doing outside of my commie bubble all of a sudden. Is change upon us?

      Libs thinks that the next best horrid revelation about Trump, no matter how much he brushes it off or seems affected by, would disintegrate him at any time

      As usual, they have the {wilfully ignorant} memory of a goldfish, and I don’t bother with them.

      They’ve developed this quasi-mythical image of Trump that he’s a unique evil entity that was summoned by Obama stepping down and that we leftists put into power by not believing in Joe and Kamala hard enough.

      Police estimates of protests are just silly in australia.

      For the Palestine march across the Sydney harbor bridge the police officially told the media it was 90K, the day of they told in private to Palestine Action that there were 100k but independent researchers using AI for people counting estimated 225k on the low end and 300K at the high end which was what the protest organizers said as well.

      Then a week later there was a far right march against immigration and the police said it was 15K when researchers say it was 3-8k.

      Kinda skipped the party prep and decided to do it with my place of work. And now I see the sign of the party comrades and they are all so wacky and quirky and meanwhile here I come with : fuck you NVA, No to NATO, fuck you genocidal fucks. And I’m noticing some differences.

      I don’t want a quirky sign tbh. I’m angry.

    I feel like I should be happy about the Palestine ceasefire and yet I can’t shake the feeling that it’s not over.

    So the people rioting in Brussel at the protest the other day are said to be linked to the former CCC, a ‘communist’ terrorist group from years ago who did terror attacks. CCC has always been suspected to be a part of Operation Gladio.

    It could literally he a psyop.

    So in a completely unsurprising turn of events Belgium has to follow strict EU budget cut rules.

    EXCEPT FOR DEFENSE SPENDING. Which can be kept outside of the entire budget. For four more years.

    So for four more years we can spend whatever we want on defense. But have to do budget cuts all around.

    In four years we have elections. And with budget cuts done by neolibs there is a chance of getting some sort of left wing government then due to public outrage. Which in turn has no spending room because then defense spending gets taken into budget.

      What do you think the situation in the EU is gearing up towards in the next 4 years? At some point something has to budge. If I have a right read on it, the further right parties in EU countries aren’t super thrilled with the defence spending, further deindustrialisation, and worsening relations with Russia regarding Ukraine and the energy crisis.

      I haven’t seen much that gives me hope that the left would be able to capitalise on this more than already-popular far-right parties. I’m not very familiar with the situation in countries like Belgium and the Netherlands though.

        While some right wing parties are against increased spending I don’t think that will stop it. If I look at The Netherlands virtually every party is in favor of increased spending of some sort. Even PVV. And in countries where the far right is against, there is always the option of excluding them from governments.

        More important is that the EU itself is heavily in favor of increased spending and ultimately they decide what their members states can and cannot do. So even if you as a member state go against the EU policy, you will face their consequences.

        For The Netherlands I don’t have much hope. Even the left wing parties are in favor of increased spendings. Unions don’t really seems to make a fuss. For Belgium I have some more hope. Our party is heavily against and at least we have a good sized following. Unions are very vocally against it too. On Tuesday we had 140k people marching in Brussels against austerity and increased defense spending.
