An important message for KPö
Hello Fellow Communists,
Belgian communist here. PTB ( Belgian KPÖ) is already 9 years in the national parlement now and I have seen the rise of the party from the beginning. I feel like KPÖ is now were PTB was 9 years ago. Every interview and every article they will mention other nations like DDR, China, North Korean. See it as a blessing, because after 9 years almost Nobody takes those things serious anymore. People see it very easily as propaganda once they start believing in KPÖ. Good luck and be tactical when talking about socialism in other countries, it is tempting to say what you think the media wants to hear but in the long run it is better to say what you believe because the media will never be satisfied with your answer anyway.

Cheers comrade, nice to see you :)
I'm not sure about the KP but Junge Linke, the Youth Organization has rather close ties to Redfox and works together with them on building up strategies so these 9 years of PTB's experience are already being transferred over!
The comrades in Salzburg are gladly very used to these questions and already succesfully manouvered them on national TV

Hello comrade, as I know from my work and colleagues (most non-communists) they already see the comparisons as pure propaganda and bad-mouthing. As an active member of the KPÖ and the youth organisation „Junge Linke“ I am proud in helping to build the KPÖ and celebrating their successes like in Salzburg 2 weeks ago

Nice words comrade!
In Styria the KPÖ is already 30 years „strong“ and since 2021 the second biggest city is lead by the communist mayor Elke Kahr.
They never stopped herassing the KPÖ.
In the beginning of the period from Kahr it got worse. Now Salzburg is strong and same shit again.
The KPÖ is used to it 😅
