As a frequent reader here I can’t help but notice the heavy concentration of US based posts. I figured out why this morning reading r/Ukrainianconflict . A poster was complaining about the “far right ultra nationalist PiS party” in Poland. Curious, I googled them. This is their economic platform according to Wikipedia:
“The party supports a state-guaranteed minimum social safety net and state intervention in the economy within market economy bounds. During the 2015 election campaign, it proposed tax rebates related to the number of children in a family, as well as a reduction of the VAT rate (while keeping a variation between individual types of VAT rates)….. PiS supports state provided universal health care.”
The “far right” in one of the most conservative countries in Europe is more progressive than most of our “progressives.” I know the phrase goes “liberal in the US is conservative everywhere else,” but it’s shocking to see it’s that dramatic.
