For me, voting is just a show for people in front of TVs - eviltoast

Today in Poland there is voting, so you could choose between open fascists, mild fascists with religious fanaticism flavour, conservative neoliberals, and neoliberal puppets called themselves “leftists”, but this is a mild socdem at best. The “leftists” are quite concerned about empreteneurs and support the neoliberal opposition. I decided to not vote. However, there is a strong pression to go voting. What would you do?

    Wish to have communist party in Poland. In Poland, propagation of communism is forbidden by law, on equal foot with fascism 🤦🏽

      Oh… My condolences. In Slovakia there is a communist party, so I tought it wouldn’t be so different in Poland. Are you organized anywhere in real-life? In some non official organisation? Also how does that law work in practice? When the police was to find out abt u agitating for communism, would you be fined? Straight to prison?

        Personally, I am not organized. Yet 😎 there is Communist Party of Poland, but probably it is constantly observed by government services, so I am just afraid to contact them openly, due to my quite public work and family responsibilities. So I suppose the law is not terribly strict, but you never know what can you expect. They can interpret the paragraph differently for your case. I think, agiting for communism, according to law, may put one into prison in extreme case up to 2 years.
