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.
Western “left” Has no hope left. They have gone too far with identity politics and have purged anti imperialist Marxist people long time back. According to them LGBT politics is the litmus test for morally right or wrong. I didn’t see a single European commie party to condemn the action of NATO and Ukrainian government shelling of Donbass, maybe KKE did but it’s their usual trope to conflate Nazism with Russia government or "both side imperialists " . They should pack up from politics because they have become irrelevant. Meanwhile European right got all the major talking points, atleast for the sake of election they will say they are anti NATO or anti EU , nowadays AFD of Germany is also saying that they want to do business with China 🇨🇳. I think most NATO left and pro EU parties will be dead within 2 years with large recession incoming and with energy shortage
i mean, kind of? yes? but it’s not like be all end all either. supporting queer rights and being anti-imperialist aren’t mutually exclusive. i don’t get why they don’t understand this.
LGBT program with neoliberalism is always a failure , your cannot NGOize LGBT agenda then support neo liberalism in Eastern E./W.Europe . That’s EU left is all about. Obviously pro LGBT is good but hey why in Moldova the older and middle aged population are pro Russia and pro USSR and are against LGBT thing. It is not simply they hate LGBT (obviously older people do) but they associate LGBT with pro neoliberal parties that’s the problem .
what do you mean by “LGBT agenda” then? because that’s reich-wing language you’re using.
also, no one said anything about NGOizing queer rights or combining it with neoliberalism - i was talking about the western left/commie parties.
religious bias can also come to play. orthochristians especially aren’t known to be the most supportive when it comes to queer rights. i swear, there’s probably like 1 progressive orthochristians for every 100,000 progressive muslims, that’s how fucking reactionary it comes off as.
