never seen any thread on here about the PTB (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers'_Party_of_Belgium)and Raoul Hedebouw, so I'll start one.
Raoul Hedebouw is the leader of a belgian communist party that was Maoist at his birth and became ML then. In belgium, we had 30 years of socdem doing nothing so people start feeling fucked and turn to this party (it is second in the poll for Wallonia, where all its roots are).
They suprinsigly are not faggot and three month ago its leader said he was a marxist and that he had a marxist plan for wallonia.

I think we can say he is our guy.

Discuss. It is the only ""old left" movement that reached the worker in the western world, I think.

Pic related is the first page of the most prole of the walloon newspaper, drawing Raoul Hedebouw in a soviet uniform crushing the leader of the socdem party. This newspaper is surprisingly pro-PTB.

What is their secret to reach belgian joe six pack (Jean Pilsen?)

Not being edgy college graduate. Not being obsessed with genre. Not being champagne socialist ( they cannot have more than 2000€/month) and also belgium is a cultural kaleidoscope so there isn't any signifiant far right nationalistic party

...

I mean wallonia and brussels, sry. As a walloon I forget way to easily the nazi ethno state of the north

The Gommies do surprisingly well in Flanders too, though. I might vote for them just for shits and giggles.

That sounds easy but even on Holla Forums people will have a hard time doing that

Jeez stop with ideological purity and sectarianism. I'm myself a market socialist but I support them

lmao

ML and especially Maoism are ideological dead-ends. They'd also put people like me in the gulag so fuck off.

I meant wallonia, nederlanders.

That fascist ethno-state is the only thing keeping your post-industrial hellhole alive.

Yeah, sure. Vlaams consume our water, have majority in house of representative and in senate, The federal government grants massive tax cut to vlaams business at antwerp port, all federal controlled public funding are overwhelmingly in favor of flanders ( army, train infrastructure). We are ripped of by the flanders, not the opposite.

seems they gulak you for a good reason

Where are they now?

Wikipedia says they claim to be a new Communist movement. What does it mean?

Also: What are there activists doing?

Unionizing , giving free healthcare to the poorer ( "médecine pour le peuple") and agitating people to participate in strike. They only claim to be marxist, never saw them saying "new communist"

if I get it correctly, flemish are classcucks?

Far right neoliberal party in power and they have all power in belgium

The Workers Party of Belgium essentially are tankies-turned-socdems. Nothing huge about their surge in popularity.

Why so? Isn't it a good thing ?

Why is it that failed ideologies cry sectarianism, I wonder.

Neither tankies nor socdems are a good thing, so no.

German Wikipedia claims they don't want to be a traditional Party and claim to be a Party of new type.
Pretty much sounds like Eurocommunism.

In fact their second in charge harshly criticized european treaty on public Tv yesterday.

undialectical dimwits like you made them fall apart

Would a bilingual socialist Belgium be feasible? Or is it better to divide it into Wallonia and Flanders?

Sure, if the Flanders support it. Wallonia is a very industrialized area btw while in Flandern there is more new economy.

Another Industrial area in declay btw is Northrhine-Westphalia in Germany which borders Belgium. :^)

'vlaams' is an adjective, not a noun.

We should just split up honestly. We don't have much of anything in common - different parties, media, language, cultural scene. Not even a common elite, by and large.

But, we're glued together because of the festering cancer that is Brussels, that malign swelling of government office buildings, EU-money, and utter despair that neither side wants to either give up on or have to take charge of.

split in two, or have the netherlands and france take over the halves
make brussels the autonomous european capital
