No not the SPD, just out of interest are you american?

Gotcha. Either way, I'm aware that activism can be draining and it can be easy to become demotivated.

More than just draining politics can get you killed. I edited my other post so idk if you saw it but just out of interest are you american? You don't need to dox yourself it's why I didn't tell you which country I'm talking about, but you were close to guessing which social democratic party I'm talking about.

Yea I'm not going to press you any further, I'll edit it out of my comments. Yes, I'm a Statesian.

Its cool, don't worry about it if people know a lot about history they'll probably be able to guess from the context and most intelligence agencies already know who I am if they wanted to come for me they could. I just don't need to make it explicit 😀

Ah I figured you were american, don't take this the wrong way but I feel like you guys often treat European leftism more like an intellectual exercise than what it actually was which was a mass political movement that touched millions of peoples lives in different ways. Millions of people lost their lives families were torn apart whole countries were dissolved or they gained their independence. I don't think the United States has ever really experienced anything like it since the civil war. The twentieth century is moving further and further away but for lots of people the political systems it created and ideological conflicts had very real effects on the people who experienced them.

Believe me, I'm not a Eurocomm, I'm very aware of the lacking Statesian left and the weakening of the movement in Europe.

I think you missed the point of what I was saying and idk what you mean by eurocomm. Anyways it's late and I'm tired I probably won't be back for a while because posting is dumb, so bon voyage fellow traveller.
