    Good article, comrade. I agree with it and have shared it on Mastodon. As the article says, the far right is winning the cultural struggle. I would say that most communist parties in Europe are quite revisionist. They are democracy defenders and aren’t a real alternative to capitalism. We need a communist party that upholds the programmatic content of authentic communism in an invariant manner.

      I very much agree, unless Europe develops a principled communist movement, then the right will take over. Pretty much all the left parties in Europe are neoliberal adjacent, and they will go down together with the neoliberals. The right is gain popularity precisely because they openly attack the establishment. The right wingers were pretty much the only ones to come out against the war in Ukraine from the start, while the left shat the bed by aligning with the war narrative. Now that the war is lost, and people are starting to see economic impact in their daily lives, they’re naturally flocking to the parties that have been criticizing the war.
