Portugal has a tankie communist party (PCP) and a vaguely Trumpian far right party (Chega! - Enough!)

And I feel like it must get terribly confusing while they’re both in the same queue to give Putin a blowjob.

I assume you mean PCP? They’re both terribly conservative. PCP used to be better in the past (and contributed a lot to worker rights over time) but I find them now using the same techniques as the American Republican Party to base their arguments on (see Merchants of Doubt, for example) and being against anything that is even remotely progressive. The Chega leader OTOH has zero convictions and goes with the wind, but the party has a lot of dangerous fascists and neo-nazis.

@Miguel Arroz Yeah. I fixed the typo but edits then have to refederate.

PCP kinda fucked what support they had left going full tankie over Ukraine.

@arroz@mastodon.social Also Chega insist on advertising their local candidates on billboards outside schools here in Lagos and then get indignant when the kids deface them with swastikas.

The kids are alright.

Yep. It’s not even a pacifist position. Their former leader said in front of several TV cameras they “don’t see any signs that an invasion is happening”. It’s pure denial.

Their problem is they have a deep, visceral hate towards the US and everything it stands for. So they automatically support anyone who takes a stand against the US no matter what.
