One of the reason the left in The Netherlands is in such a shambolic state is because they keep promising things only to compromise with the right, disappointing their voters. What many leftist people need in the west is an actual principal left wing part who does not want to compromise on important left wing topics. One of the reasons our marxist party in Belgium is growing the way it is, is because we don't compromise on a lot of things. Otherwise you are going to end up like the Dutch Socialist Party and adapt racist immigration policies that have nothing to do with being a leftist. The goal is to educate the masses, not to throw ideals out the window in the hope of getting votes, because that way, only the right will win as they keep moving the goalposts.
