Frans Timmermans, EU figurehead, has decided to lead the Dutch left Green/Labour coalition in order to get Dutch left back on track.
He has already announced that he wants a mandatory 2% NATO budget... So far for Dutch left, I guess.
Left-ish coalition and choosing the right side of the party for leadership is a tradition in Liberalism. He also will do nothing to push for any real changes for the environment globally, just maybe some very Dutch specific regulations that have almost no impact. Not a doom-post, though, because we can work to radicalize more people to the left from ir
The only positive thing that can come out of this is slightly left of center policies for a while and a small hope for an actual marxist movement to rise.
But looking at the state of the Dutch left right now you'd think we will soon have the Dutch Soviet Union under Timmermans. And any criticism is regarded as 'helping the right'. Because you just have to vote for an outspoken anti communist otherwise it's your fault!!!! Fuck leftist values.
its so fucking bleak
