Comment on The Fake Xinjiang Allegations Caused me to Lose my Job & Friends
commiewolf@lemmygrad.ml 1 year agoThe Netherlands has the NCPN and its youth wing, but there is very little reading material on their stances apart from a measly selection of articles on their websites. And its not very encouraging either, they condemn the SMO in Russia and have a lot of annoying "Both sides bad" rhetoric. Although they are self proclaimed MLs, then again this is all I know from just reading about them online and occasionally coming across their posters in the streets.

I had never heard from them really so I had a look. You're not kidding lol. They have all these reasons why Russia did what it did and then go: but Russia also bad. No offense to them but they seem a bit 'all talk no action' if I glance through their website.

A lot of Dutch people are genuinely under the impression that Groenlinks is the farthest left party in the country. That's how little recognition real leftist movements get around here. They think a lukewarm milktoast green party is somehow the leftist core of their political spectrum.

Groenlinks became an elitist party for progressive upper- and middleclass people. If that's your voter base you tend to lose the 'links' in the name a bit I think.

Oh, you mean how they often vote in favour of hawkish motions? Or that it's often hit-or-miss when it comes to motions on climate and poverty alleviation? Sure, BIJ1 has a better track record, but I'm willing to bet that ... checking now ... when it comes to China 'they' don't perform better than any other party.
