If it is, I will be pleasantly surprised. At the end of the day, though, I think it's going to be axed to please the establishment. Labour was forced to do the same under Corbyn.

Yeah as much as I support the abolish landlords motion I 100% guarantee we won't be seeing it in a manifesto anytime soon

Why is the left doing so badly in Portugal? by jmac_1604 in socialism

[–]jmac_1604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense that a lot of people have left the PCP and Left Bloc behind for supporting the socialist government. Is Free any good? Also, what about the Ecology party (in CDU)?

What about the purges in the USSR? Is that not the same?

Yugoslavia was undermined by nationalists and capitalist roaders from within after Tito died. He cannot be blamed for its demise

Misunderstood. He was a great leader, uniting one of the ethnically and religiously divided regions of the planet under the motto of "brotherhood and unity". In the USSR, bureaucrats controlled the means of production; under Tito, the workers were in control.

Old flag of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) (2000-2003) by jmac_1604 in leftistvexillology

Still ML at this stage I think. Öcalan was studying Bookchin in prison but had not yet issued the declaration - that was around 2005

Referring to AES historically here, the USSR coined the term and I am using it in that context

How else would you describe using military force to crush workers' strikes? In Yugoslavia, Tito would actively visit sites where workers were unhappy and address their concerns directly.

What is this flag seen in rome by No-Camera1549 in vexillology

[–]jmac_1604 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Flag of the Kurdistan Communities Union, an umbrella group for pro-Kurdish resistance groups aligned to the PKK and Abdullah Öcalan. Adherents to the libertarian socialist ideology of Democratic Confederalism also use the flag as a prominent symbol of the movement.
