I swear the Dutch socialist subreddit gets more right wing by the day.

It's called r/poldersocialisme and I feel like even the slightest anti-imperialism or ML thought gets scrutinized there. Today with the war in Palestine, every single pro Palestine comment or post got downvoted. This wouldn't have happened a year ago I feel like. Slowly the subreddit got run over by more social democrats and even right wingers. The mods don't do anything to stop it. They are actually making it worse. I once got a tempban for 'denying the Uyghur genocide'. They have a flair for right wingers as well, like theyre inviting them. What's the point of a Dutch socialist subreddit when the viewpoints are the exact same as the ones that are already established throughout the whole Dutch media landscape?

Sorry for my niche rant, but as a Dutch ML I feel more alone in my viewpoints every day, and I'm losing hope in the Dutch left but hope I can do something to revitalize it.

I assume a lot of actual leftists left Reddit in the mass exodus this year like I did, which would leave the entire site more rightist.

Reddit is a cia mouthpiece when active. With the Ukraine war, every single sentiment suddenly turned pro-Ukraine and anti-Russian.

You are not alone. I used to frequent the subreddit as well, and everything about China for example was removed or heavily censored against. It is most definitely a more demsoc or socdem community now, with some very reactionary views when it comes to AES and international solidarity.

I noticed more backlash and bolder stances from a handful of other regular ML's, but it seems like it won't matter much as we are a minority among the usual western ultra's and socdems.

All in all you're not alone, and I hope this message is at least some comfort. Things are tough, but don't despair.

Every big tent not controlled by ML will sooner or later devolve into succdem centrism, then purge communists.

I left for good some weeks ago because I figured it was useless being there. GL/PvdA gets the Democrat treatment of TACTICAL VOTING and I went to take a quick look about Palestine yesterday and it's all: Hamas bad Slava Israel stuff.

Let them fuck themselves I'd say. Vote for your pathetic Green/Labour fusion who is already bailing out in thing like raising the minimum wage BEFORE elections. Just give money to NATO and hope that you will get a small crumb that falls of the capitalist plate. That's being Dutch 'left' at the moment. Glad I left that country.

It's always been like that. It's a right wing sub on a right wing website.

Why did you deny the genocide?

It's an interesting point. Do you happen to have a less "polarised" source I can read?

Why do you claim it's happening? Can't disprove a negative.

I didn't claim it's happening. And you can disprove a negative by proving the opposite.

"Poor little tankie, trying to lash out. Maybe you should take out your frustration by going to the front line of the Ukraine invasion. You’ll actually increase the average IQ of the world when your brains are splattered in a ditch."

Why do you larp as a socialist? To poison the well? I think you'd feel more included on reddit logo .

I'm not a socialist, and I'm not the one larping. Anyway, I can't wait to gut you, you pathetic little tankie.
