    lmaoooo the other socialist party Vooruit just launched an Instagram post calling to vote for them instead of our marxist party because a vote for us IS A VOTE FOR PUTIN!!!

    They are getting rightfully flamed for it

      This is what happens when you have no real counter arguments and base everything off Putin bad against a party calling for no more NATO expansion

        I don’t get how they expect that to even work. If they’re pushing a “Putin bad man” strategy, what separates them from the major parties who are doing that already? How do they expect to pull votes away from a major party with identical policy but far less political inertia?

            All of my local orgs are social clubs for well off middle class white kids who basically act like twitter ultras in real life. If one of them took a massive socdem turn I wouldn’t be surprised, but I also wouldn’t think they were infiltrated. Sometimes political groups just have poor political instincts, no government infiltration needed.

            And it’s a self-selecting process too. Any group that is kind of terrible and incompetent won’t have competent people want to join, so they just kind of dig themselves deeper into their own incompetence.

      They could have spend there time and energy to create a plan to work together for the benefit of the working class but instead decided to make a baseless claim
