Bro I don't even know how I'll be able to use my PC let alone heat my house this winter lol
"Russian energy weapon"? Oh do go fuck yourself, Javier. Your government refuses to pay for energy to its largest supplier. That's capitalism for you.
If Russia did invent tesla weapons from red alert now, it would be not only physical but also psychological weapon.
How prominent are communist organizations (or just general anti-imperialist ones) in the various European countries? If people riot, I hope it won't be an unorganized mess
Can't speak for other European countries, but in Germany not present at all. The DKP (German Communist Party) is so small it's almost irrelevant. The Left has some communist and anti-imperialist factions, but the party at large is getting pummeled in elections atm and as it's doing so, it is moving even further to the right. Only hope is the very large (non-revolutionary) union movement. Other than that it's an unorganized mess or one that's organized/coopted by the right. Mainstream politicians already going ahead preemptively labeling protesters as far-right certainly doesn't help either.
but the party at large is getting pummeled in elections atm and as it’s doing so, it is moving even further to the right.
This is the thing i will never understand. From what i seen every reformist party, even when they win the elections, lose support because it is not radical enough. And every time it happens, instead of the obvious conclusion "we fucked up, betten not cater to libs but try to get our own electorate back" they move further right losing more and more until oblivion.
I don't get it either man. What you decribed happens again and again and again and yet there's never any learning process, it just keeps happening. In case of The Left, this is a big tent leftist party with all kinds of factions. From a majority of succdems to communists, they kinda had it all. One of their core points that was unnegotiable for them for a long time was a kind of anti-imperialist stance, specifically anti-NATO. This was unnegotiable for them till last election (2021), where they put chances of a seat in government over this anti-NATO stance. They lost that election hard and thus didn't get the seat in government they bargained for.
Now I don't follow German electoral politics close enough to say that's what lost them the election and I can't say how much of a factor this was in them losing subsequent elections. Still, the same pattern - compromise with the libs to get a chance at participation, get smacked by voters, double down. Just very very strange.
Especially that Lenin smashed such politics and scheming once and for all and history proven him right that this is pretty much universal case. Communists should never ever go hand to hand with libs to the elections and also never ever with opportunists. Seats in parliament are good but not worth any dilution of marxism.
Poland. Our best and biggest (because it is the only one) communist party was last seen on street over a year ago in hand's numbers.
Anarchists, trots etc. can do few hundred but as you can expect it's hard to organise.
Succdems are inert, for years they only either go with libs or organize picnics that can't even be named protests.
Libs can mobilise quite numbers, but only for special cases, like the effective abortion ban (of course it was unsuccessful). I don't think they would do it here, even as a surefire method of getting popular support against PiS, because as all libs ever they fear organised working class way more than they fear conservatists.
Unions and peasants have a bit of power left, but they are unwilling to rise in a serious protest and are easily distracted and disorganised by empty promises, crumbs and by the solidarność scabs.
Succdems are more war-hungry than the actual NATO when it comes to the Ukraine
True. That can be said for entire polish mainstream politics. There was already few instances when Poland went way above and beyond of what NATO ordered, there was even one event (Mig-29 issue) when even USA intervened to stop Poland, and that was months ago when the propaganda was the hottest.
