Having adopted socially progressive issues does not make IU or Podemos less communist. As in the name - United Left. They unite everyone from Anarcho syndicalists to Marxist-Leninist. That's a communist party, a united front like how the united front was invented 100 years ago at the turn of the century.
- anthk 4y agoI repeat, I'm from Spain. I know perfectly my politics. Actual commies, the Marxist-Leninist ones do not stay aside with Izquierda Unida. Even less with Podemos.
- unity1001 4y agoYou seem to think that 'being from somewhere' makes you an expert. I also know Spanish politics. And from what I know, you are basically saying that you are a social conservative. That's the argument of the left who criticise those two parties for 'not being left enough'. I personally know some of them. I see quite a lot of proper Marxist-Leninists among the ranks of both parties. As I said, them not being conservative enough or allying with social progressives does not make them any less ML, leave aside any less communist.
