Belgium sure has more revolutionary potential. Our marxist party is far bigger than anything happening in The Netherlands. And The Netherlands is a much harder neoliberal place.

But The Netherlands is more modern. The houses are better, the roads are better, it seems more ahead of Belgium in a lot of ways. Still, moving here was a great decision. I feel at home, I have found comrades, I like the people and doing party work (and soon I’ll start working at the Union) and I’m happy. It got me out of my usual place at home and it made me learn a lot about myself. Overall, I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
