      They’ve had representatives in the Styrian and Salzburg state parliaments for 20 years, they’re the largest party in the city council of Graz (the second largest city in Austria), which also has a communist mayor since 2021. So it’s not exactly a surprise.

      It’s sad that communism doesn’t have the same reputation as Nazism in Europe. Should be.

      Itt: people that are not sure what communism is and what’s the ideology behind it but a guy on reddit said that it’s bad.

      In city councils they are great because of their pro public housing policies

      In nationwide parliament, please no. Their foreign policy is very similar to the far-right (naively pro-Russian masquerading as “pro-peace”)

      They believe that both sides in the Ukraine war have to make concessions, that EU is militaristic, and that the Austrian armed forces should be abolished. Screw them.

      How are communist symbols, and more importantly parties, even allowed in Europe? I’m not even talking about the law, but rather about social pressure. I mean, it’s impolite to spit on the sidewalk or to throw trash on the street or to wear Nazi symbols, these are socially offensive things. How is it socially acceptable to brandish the hammer and sickle or the Z symbol or to quote Marx or Lenin in Europe these days?
