This is the only situation, where I like seeing that flag wave

If I only got 1% percent of that rizz...

Oh, is it another situation like Promised Neverland, where they never did a second season? But thanks! Will check it out

Where is this from?

That's the beauty: execs still get paid for their "innovative leadership" and "future earning potential" (aka make free product and enshittify later). Should the company go under while theyr still there, they just sell their stocks and pull their golden parachutes. They always win, that's why we should do funny things (in Minecraft)

Isn't that typical rightwing hypocrisy? As in: the in-group needs to be protected by the law but not bound an vice versa for the out-group. The double standard is not a contradiction, it's the point.

Nah sadly not, her party is more Nazbol/Patsoc. While commendable that finally a party with some relevancy calls it a genocide, their other positions are kinda dogshit. They split from the (socdem) Die Linke, because they were socially too 'woke'. Wagenkencht's party is against LGBTQ rights, because they are not relevant to working people. They are close to the bad parts of Russia, though this led to a more nuanced approach to the current conflict. They are also iffy on climate change because acting on it costs jobs/reduces industrial capacity

Lol, are they complaining that communist are better at capitalism (on an international level) than themselves? Cornering a market and then using it to your own benefit is Capitalism 101

Thank you for this comprehensive and informative write-up!

anti-immigration and anti-migrant discourse has become VERY powerful in this country, so much that even the PSD and PS took it up in this election

That point shows again, that liberals are fascist at heart. Liberal and "left" parties here, that a few years ago had a humane veneer on migration topics, also have adopted right-wing views and are now asking themselves why they lost the support of the left and the right electorate.

If I had to blame 1 single thing though is that the private news channels, where most people get their politics from, are completely dominated by right wing pundits

Yes, absolutely. The same problem since the first communist movements. In bourgeois societies money controls the press/media, combine that with modern attention-economics and we get the conditions for a really popular right wing. I think combating this is one of the keys to redeveloping class-consciousness in western countries, but I have no idea how it can be achieved

Even if that's true (I'm not noticing it, even people who call themselves Antifa actively support the apartheid colony), it won't have a noticeable effect on policy. The ruling class is much too invested in Isn'treal, a lot of people see only the Jews as victims of the holocaust and equate them with Israel. Combine that with the smug guilt culture ("we were bad but we have reflected on the past and now we're better and know better than everybody else") and a media Scape that practically only allows for Zionist talking points. I don't see how the average germ*n will ever come to see the truth that Germany is again actively complicit in the genocide against the Palestinians by unapologetically supporting Israel

It's not even known if the dissenters yesterday were were from the SPD. It could also be that some from his own party voted against him. But unless the dissenters come forth, we will never know who it was, as the chancellor election is secret (and normally just a formality).

Another point to consider: Kerala in India has a very promising communist project going on. It already eliminated extreme poverty and has widespread support. Showing successes, it can serve as an inspiration for other projects in the imperial periphery (so called third world).

But Modi is a reactionary who could use the tensions with Pakistan to crack down on internal dissent and do reactionary things to the people of Kerala. So even without an escalation the current situation could lead to worsening conditions for the proletariat.
