- drb91 8y agoAt least they have a proper left.... We could use a lot more of this in the US.
- Scea91 8y agoGreens do not hold any political function AFAIK (edit: they still have a few senators). In the past few elections they usually gained only around 3 % of votes. Our 'proper' left parties that have some power are those old-school leftist parties that are pro-Russian. The irony is that they are usually quite fond of Trump.

- drb91 8y agoYes, because left = gulag, right? Let’s just toss all the discussion out and give our cash to the nearest billionaire.
- lj3 8y agoDid you miss the part where the bridges were falling down? How can we get ourselves some of that?
- satai 8y agoFalling bridges did have a little to do with right/left politics here.

- SEJeff 8y agoI don't think that means what you think it means. "leftists" in the US generally prefer "progressive" and tend to stand for equality and social services. The goal is less income inequality and a higher standard of living for everyone. It is the "a rising tide lifts all ships" kind of idea. This is why they often support higher minimum wages and job training programs for unskilled people to learn skilled jobs.
- smcl 8y agoCzech Republic was never part of the USSR. Warsaw pact, yes. Heavily influenced (and invaded 50 years ago) by the USSR, yes. But you'll look a bit clueless if you say it was in the USSR, and people won't take your opinion seriously.
- tjelen 8y agoThat's quite a misleading link - "Mladi zeleni" are not the Green party.
- llcoolv 8y agohttps://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mlad%C3%AD_zelen%C3%AD https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mlad%C3%AD_zelen%C3%AD "Mladí zelení jsou úzce navázaní na Stranu zelených" Young greens are tightly linked with the Green party. It is in fact the youth wing of the green party.
- TomMarius 8y agoI'm not sure but what is a party if not radical communist when its leader proposes a ban on private flights because "normal people should not be able to afford it", supports nationalization of private property and so on? I know the leader has departed but obviously he had the party's support. He lost support because of bad election result, not because they didn't agree with him. From my discussion with other significant Green party members that want to nationalize infrastructure companies, ban cars, increase taxation a lot, redistribute wealth in large amounts etc I'm not really sure what else should they be if not radical communists. Please don't call people who aren't actually fascist "radical fascists" ever again. It's a huge insult here; the fascists killed a lot of my family. Fun fact for others: We call the Green party "The Watermelons" - because they're green on the outside but red on the inside.
