Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Of course all political parties are disgusting in liberal democracies but there are some that just are insane.

In Mexico it has to be PAN, they're your usual latin american conservative party. Elitists, very catholic, racists, malinchistas ( they hate mexico and its culture ). Right now they're going insane because a former secretary of national security was declared guilty off collaborating with drug cartels in a US jury ( they idolize the US so this is funny af )

Didn't read the description until I posted a comment. As OP says. Fuck the PAN. Fascists and nazis that have put Mexico into the worst cycle of violence of the last 100 years.

In USA, the Republicans are typically a decent amount worse than Democrats in many respects, but occasionally their paleo-con ideology forces them to have better foreign policy takes than Democrats. But still Republicans are only just getting over rampant and open homophobia, they try in congress to at least seem like they are frugal but care about human rights as a way to shame other places because they are still extremely racist. Tbh tho the Libertarian Party may be worse just bc their debates are actually just funny to watch. They rarely get any positions of power and the debates usually center around things that already exist or should absolutely exist. Like for example, they still mald out loud at nobody in particular when someone says seatbelts or legal drinking/driving age or even laws about driving intoxicated. The spicier ones probably express their disdain for the age of consent but I actually don’t know that for a fact, they may have to hide those opinions. Gary Johnson came out looking the most sane during those debates

All of them except Communist Party of Serbia, every other one is either pure bourgeoisie scum, nationalists, monarchists or full on fascist. Same applies to Bosnia, Montenegro and Macedonia.

In The Netherlands it's Forum voor Democratie, a far right fascist party that is antivax, claims everyone at the top are Jewish reptiles, doesn't think the Holocaust happened etc.

In Belgium it's Vlaams Belang, a Flemish right wing nationalist party. They hate immigrants and non-whites with a burning passion. One of their most influential figures is a Nazi collaborator. One of their current members is doing a tour to present his book on the Great Replacement. One of their other popular members who recently quit now has to go to court because investigators hacked his private conversations in which he made 'gassing the Jews' statements.

One of the Belgian party's youth department dresses like this

Which is not very subtle either

Currently Keith Starmer's Labour for everything is done to the party's socialist values, and for completely failing to hold the Tory party accountable.

From a British perspective:

Mainstream Party: Tories (pretty obvious as to why)

Minority Parties: Patriotic Alternative (links with proscribed neo-Nazi organisations that have recently been sending extremely racist and transphobic death threats via letter)

Left-wing Party: CPGB-ML (TERFs)

It's so sad because apart from their shitty views on gender, CPGB-ML has so much potential

I'm in Poland, it's super hard to decide.

I would say SLD though. Fucking succdems won elections two times and betrayed people two times. Every time they act, they act as liberals. Others are worse than them, but they are probably most disgusting.

Much worse and almost as disgusting but for other reasons. Difference between SLD and them is kinda like between Bernstein (or maybe Parvus) and Lloyd George.

Lewica literally is SLD, just with changed name after merging with left-liberals Wiosna.

There is also Lewica Razem, former Razem, which leader Adrian Zandberg is the lefternmost person in polish mainstream politics (often called "communist" by libs and conservatives) - in reality he's just a mild AOC kind of socialfascist and yesterday i heard him spouting profascist slogans about Ukraine in radio. So fuck all them, just a moderate wing of fascism.

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've heard him spout explicitly anticommunist rhetoric. Supposedly this is him in his youth, so I don't even fucking know anymore, this is a hellworld.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is Poland where publishing a communist book is impossible, serial suicider roams freely and in order to be in the politics you are absolutely forbidden to say anything incorrect. How do you think Zandberg was allowed to rise in our super cowardly and controlled left here from being basically unknown?
