Whats the state of the left in your country, parliamentary or otherwise? in america its kind of dead aside from the socdems

Jezza polls terribly unfortunately, I love him but he'll never be able to win a general election due to his position on nukes and foreign policy alone, at least we've got a socialist to stick it to the tories I suppose

The Left is pretty much dead in Belgium.

The Workers Party of Belgium, a former hardline Stalinist-Maoist party who recently turned to Eurocommunism, hardly has any seats in the Senate and Parliaments.

The only other parties that could be considered socialist are tiny and obscure at best, like the Socialist Party for Struggle (Trotskyist) or the Communist Party (Orthodox Marxist).

Most of the people who were teens or adults in mid-'80s Belgium were shook by the spectacular bank bombings committed by the Marxist-Leninist clandestine group called Communist Combatant Cells; that's what "Communism" means to most of those people.

lol I guarantee you nobody actually gives a shit about this

I live in a very conservative part of the country so it's very difficult to tell. Seems like 99% dumb libruls though.

I'm in Israel and it's terrible here honestly. I'm pretty happy with my own organization (CWI Israel/Palestine section) but it's only like 50 people strong. Most of the "left" here is either CP bureaucrats who fell asleep in the 80's and never woke up, activists and groups who are way too much into idpol, a few independent semi-woke activists who have some anti-capitalist tendencies (but are also kinda kooky and prone to believing in conspiracy theories, and worse than that are very easy to manipulate by right-wingers who claim to be 'anti-establishment'), and "left" zionists who have their own big parties but are just socdems with nationalist-tendencies who are very much a part of the establishment (and have been for like 70 years). Not all of those groups are that bad though, in the recent election for example one of those idpol groups (of LGBT activists) joined with a group of public-housing residents against one of the major right-wing religious parties and heckled basically every election event they held until they couldn't hold events any more. And also not long ago the CP launched a front called "standing together" which tries to unite Jews and Arabs in a struggle against the occupation and the current government, and they recently also joined with one of the smaller unions to launch a campaign to demand significantly increased pensions and that looks like it might be a good campaign (they aren't perfect, btw, they're kinda undemocratic and also have this weird tendency to not mention they're from the CP as if they're ashamed of it).

The frustrating thing is that most Israeli Jews are very left-wing economically but are very easily cucked by Zionist nationalism. There's been a poll that says there's like 70% support for nationalization of natural resources, increased minimum wage, massive public investments in healthcare, public housing, education, with a lot of hatred for the 'tycoons' (which is the common word used here to refer to porky). But the moment there's any shred of class-based struggle popping up the government will always bomb Gaza and go "look, we're in war now, we all have to be united behind the government!" and it always works. It's frustrating. There's been another poll which says that 80% of Israelis supported the previous war on Gaza while around 70% also though the war wouldn't help anything or anyone. So at least 50% of the Israeli public supported the war while knowing there was no good reason to start it. That's how classcucked people are here which is why it's so hard to do any kind of left-wing work sometimes.

Deader than dead in France. The socialist party went full SJW while embracing orthodox economics. Its own think-tank, Terra-Nova, has openly stated the party must give up the working class, which it considers lost to the far-right anyway, and focus instead on sexual and ethnic minorities. Our Green party is full of opportunists one of which famously rides a heavily polluting sport-car and had tens of thousands of fines for going above the speed limit. Then we have a few irrelevant trotskyist parties.
