not very successful if his accomplishments can be annulled by one election cycle

we can only win

“aboriginal victorians” is crazy though. it’s like if the nazis won and they started calling russians “native hitlerians” or something

wdym porn stars? those are just regular actors, no?

May the Bolivarian Army of Venezvuela strike a death blow to imperialism; ‘no mercy for the bastards/гадам нет пощады,’ so that the rest of the world can finally breathe freely

Lets do it like the Russians: Your Party “For the Many – Popular Alliance – Our Party”

Popular Alliance is fine. I’d prefer ‘Popular Front of Britain’ or something along those lines, even though i don’t necessarily agree with the concept of the Popular Front. ‘Your Party’ and ‘Our Party’ are both terrible, ‘For the Many’ is not a serious name for a political party and definitely not for a political movement actually seeking to change society in any meaningful way.

Apparently it got rejected by the Electoral Commission together with ‘People’s Party’…

I would still like to note the red terror there was still smaller than the white terror, despite being somewhat larger in proportion. Some 600 people were killed by the communists, 800-1200 by the whites.

Disco Elysium was a project by many people, the only thing that united them was that they were vaguely left and socialist.

While not a direct analogue, the commune in Disco Elysium is (I think) based on the Estonian Workers’ Commune and the Paris Commune. The commune was defeated only with the help of the first the German invasion and then the entente intervention, which is mirrored in in-game events.The actual commune is not seen positively in mainstream Estonian historiography, seen as a “Soviet puppet” (nevermind the fact the nationalists literally wanted to become a British protectorate). I cannot see why they would portray the commune as a somewhat valiant effort unless they bore any affinity for the real life analogue, I.E they supported the Estonian Workers’ Commune and the Bolsheviks as a whole.

One line I’d like to paraphrase is when “Igaunija”, Estonia in Latvian, is said to have wasted it’s independence twice on microfascism. Again, this doesn’t feel like some eurocommie bs, the median Estonian leftist would call you a tibla or moskal for that

“The Return” and the rumours of a coup/revolution in the end of the game could also be a reference to the 1924 coup attempt in Estonia, but that’s a BIG stretch, though not like anything else I’ve said hasn’t been. The only connection is 1. communists defeated 2. communists regain popularity and try again

Up to 700 people attend pro-Palestine protest in Tallinn, Estonia

The protest comes as Estonian support for Palestine finally exceeds that of Israel.

^11/10/25

On the weekend, hundreds of people marched in the capital of Estonia. The protest was titled “Wake up, Estonia – a genocide is taking place in Gaza!”, with its primary demands being the immediate recognition of the Palestinian state and the genocide in Gaza. The protest was organised by the Noorte Palestiina Liikumine (Youth Palestine Movement) and Palestonia, with a significant Noorsots (Young Socialists, youth wing of the Social-Democrats) presence.

The protestors marched from Freedom Square through the old town and then to the Riigikogu (parliament). An Estonian rendition of Bella Ciao was performed right in the centre of the old town.
