I can hear them already, I’ve met royalists in Australia on more occasions than I would ever wish on my worst enemy.

Dude’s on another level though, he’s a hardcore queen stan, he’s fucking obsessed. I don’t understand how he got like that. Nobody gives a shit about British royals here normally.

How can the home of the Κομμουνιστικό Κόμμα Ελλάδας also produce a British royalist?

KKE is pretty lame for various reasons that I’m not gonna go into here (the simplest to explain is that they’re very bad when it comes to LGBT+ stuff, for instance they didn’t even support an already highly compromised law about same sex civil unions ie not even marriage, but there’s other stuff that’s equally important that has to do with their approach to many issues) but of course it has a history that is to be respected and they still do tons of workplace organizing, plus they have a very based mayor in Patra. I do not support them at all, I’m just saying these things because I don’t want to give the impression that it’s just useless garbage from top to bottom to people who may not know very much about Greece.

Now how did we produce a British royalist? Good question, why? I have no fucking clue. He’s probably one of the 5 people like that here. I guess being super bougie can do that to you.

Yeah I saw the LGBT stuff on the Wikipedia article It’s disappointing but like the situation in the UK. I don’t think it’s inherent to MLism and has more to do with the leadership of those parties being still pretty old. I was only referencing the KKE because of the Civil War and the Greek Resistance during WWII and less so how they are now.

Leadership AND voter base. KKE has done a shit job at influencing young people so they’re left with boomers and they try to appease their boomer voters. Boomerification is one of the main factors that contribute to it being pretty sad these last few decades. I think the worst mistake they made was during 1989 when they cooperated with the right wing to take down Papandreou, it pissed off many people and there was an overall conservative turn that pissed off a big part of the party youth, which eventually split in half.

But yes of course the resistance was something extremely important and every leftist in Greece has to uphold its legacy.

Thanks for the heads-up, I’ll organise my state’s secession now.

As for the royal stans, yeah, it doesn’t help that the younger royals are now absorbed into Hollywood-style celebrity culture, the entertainment aspect of their fame makes convincing people to ignore them a lot harder.
