    There’s Belarus 🇧🇾. and of course the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. In western Europe the situation is more complicated today, many nations are more likely to move to the extreme right (Fascism/Nazism) than to more progressive positions, and this is possibly accelerating with the current situation in Ukraine, which has taken the mask off many supposedly democratic regimes.

      As a Belarusian, I wish we were anywhere near that level of based.

      Donetsk and Lugansk also had a number of prominent pro-people/anti-oligarch leaders assassinated during the time the conflict there was entering the frozen status. And there’s also really a fishy story about how communist party of DPR was blocked from participating in elections to “people’s council”, and then the few members of communist party who joined the “Donetsk Republic” coalition to run for office as such got the boot for “loss of confidence” which amounted to them not always voting like the whole coalition. That’s of course is even without considering how “communist” they actually have been.
