    KSCM. a weird leftist fusion that leans ML. theyre the party that used to run czechoslovakia. current guy who leads it was a cop during the revolution and was known for breaking a liberal leader's jaw iirc

        yeah. however they like focusing on regional and city councils and taking over the police because thats how the czech communist revolution happened post ww2

      Nice. How much power to they have? Do the have a base? Is there nostalgia for communism as I know Czechoslovakia was one of the first communist countries to fall. Also are they weird on LGBTQ rights like many European communist parties are?

        the party's official stance on lgbt stuff is silence. however, almost all lgbt legislation in czechia was written and pushed by individual communists and was watered down by the liberals. the communists have been largely marginalized but they control many rural towns completely still, including the town my family is from

        czechia is weird when it comes to queerphobia. its almost never religiously motivated.

          i don't really think it's ever religiously motivated anywhere
