    Yes the Europeans have never trusted communists that was wrong. I agree that the political representation and activity of communist parties in larger Europe is most likely low, as it is in Finland (especially in rural areas, such as mine). I wouldn’t extrapolate the same attitudes to Russia, where the local party seems to still be the second largest in the country. The CPC has nearly a hundred million members. I wouldn’t call those “dead”.

        Elaborate on this, please. Broad, sweeping statements such as mine can be extremely erroneous. I know that Finland’s welfare capitalism has been described and sold to its recepients as “socialism” when it was just imperial spoils extracted from the global south.

            Ah heck. Thanks, I just realized how that whole “the Europeans” sentence is just wrong, and kinda shitty way of thinking abou the whole issue. Should really stop and think before voicing every thought, huh?
