"We applaud the democratic revolutions that have transformed the former Communist bloc"
I love the rising wave of neo-fascism in eastern europe - National DSA
(many DSA chapters are good and based ok, this post is dunking on the National DSA, not all chapters or the DSA on its entirety)
Ummm Belarus is really, really weird. Can't really call it "SPD level succdem", it's basically ruled by a socdem military general who decided to retain some elements of the old AES times while also getting some nationalism going on all while trying to do a weird balancing act trying to side with Russia over Europe but ALSO avoid Putin gaining full power over the country. It's pretty complex.
It's not even socdem military general but socdem former kolkhoz chairman.
I'm pretty sure he's also, like, some kind of former high ranking military officer or something right?
IIRC, he reached rank of Senior Leutenant before he retired, however, he became Lt. Colonel after being elected.
