Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.
everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.
Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.
Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.
Is there anything else happening?

We could have been frens but this wont happen in this century due to Russian hostilities going too far and Europe arming in response to this threat.
>>2584567>>2584588>Le russia is just le gas station with nukesWhy is this cope still believed by yurops? The economy of them got literally boosted by the war while your countries stagnate. Sorry euroid, but the future is in the east.
>>2584608>We could have been frens but this wont happen in this century due to Russian hostilities going too far and Europe arming in response to this threat.Russia was willing to conduct trade even throughout the war, yurop basically shoot themselves in the foot and gained freaking nothing. You know how the EU looks to most southern countries that arent a US puppet? Like hypocrites with no sovereignty.
>>2584608I hope to see a day where they both set aside their differences and become friends after all
>>2584614>The economy of them got literally boosted by the warYes they are producing more arms to be destroyed in Ukraine with debt money. Breaking windows to make village GDP go up.
>>2584649At this point its total market infighting. Either you vote for the neoliberals (european) or the neoliberals (american) all raping each other over a single market.
and no amount of >nato is lynching negros is going to change it
>>2584623yeah that's just not going to happen
cents off any euro spent on russia will sooner or later be spent on aggressive actions against europe therefore either europe completely cuts russia off or it slowly funds the next inevitable russian invasion
there can never be any genuine friendship between european and russian people because the later want to replace the former
>>2584689so europes destiny is junior partner to Africa then, got it
>inevitable russian invasionlol. europe needs russia more than russia needs europe. what can an independent europe even offer to the world that they don't have already? debt? give me a break
>>2584608You didn't know what Ukraine was 4 years ago. You are an easily manipulated person if you genuinely think that european capital is in any way justified in thinking they can get away with having a military presence on Soviet Union territory.
>>2584689Russia is not even a paper tiger anymore, they lost most of their irreplaceable soviet stuff in Ukraine, the most corrupt country of Europe, and they are still bogged down there even with the US having withdrawn support. The Russian threat is a lie to do the good old patriotic psyop that'll help keep the boot on the european working class neck.
>>2584694europe does not need russia at all
>>2584723eventually they will recouop and then they will try to invade again, it'sd always been like this and it always will be like that
>>2584730>europe does not need russia at allthe Germans surely had a reason for building nord stream
>>2584732yeah, corruption
a slew of politicians including a former chancellor got stints at gazprom
>>2584734>cheap gas and oil is le corruptionno wonder euros are stagnant if they cope like this.
>>2584734And the price for giving up that oil was the collapse of German industry and it's ability to have a price point that's competitive globally. Europe will never be competitive in the market again without Russian resources. So reject the Russians, it'll only cost you your future as an independent power. Who needs a silly little thing like an sovereign economy when world war three hits
>>2584738once again: it's way more expensive than the alternative when you take into account hidden cost of defense spending to offset the cost of future invasion
>>2584775pretty rich coming from china's junior partner
>>2584614If we can say that the EU is just a service economy, we can say Russia is a petro-economy
>>2584739As a Russian, I am glad this happened. It's definitely not great that millions of innocent Ukrainian people had to die or undergo severe hardship and exploitation, they don't deserve it, but Germans sure do deserve what they got. It was so annoying and humiliating to hear this "German industry and Russian resources" crap when the only reason we are alive at all is because communists built a better industry than Germans in our country under some of the most severe conditions in human history. The very idea that we need Germany in any way erases heroic history of WWII and people said it willy-nilly before 2022.
>>2584784You are on a communist website. How would being a junior partner to a communist country of 1.3 billion founded with explicit support from the Soviet Union be an own here?
>>25848071. china hasn't been communist since 1974 (three world theory) in theory and 1956 (hundred flower campaign) in practice
2. you've become china's junior partner for strictly capitalist reasons - russia is but a resource dump while china's a manufacturer - don't wipe your mug with ideology
3. this is first and foremost a response to the half assed attempts at gaslighting >ooga booga why urup not stong like rashka strong, all of the above is but a detraction
>>2584820>china isn't communist anymoresource?
>>2584784>you take into account hidden cost of defense spending to offset the cost of future invasionWould you please shut the fuck up you retarded NAFOid. It's not "defense" spending. The whole fucking world is laughing her ass off about us since your demented liberal-fascist war monger ilk got to run the EU. Your propaganda lies are so transparent i feel like punching through the monitor everytime i read your bullshit. Fuck off.
>>2584820>rashkaYeah, you might not be speaking in good faith. In any case,
>1. china hasn't been communist since 1974 (three world theory) in theory and 1956 (hundred flower campaign) in practiceThere is another thread for this "discussion", but to be short, you are wrong, capitalist China would by definition not have the advantages it has and so you would not be bitching about it.
>2. you've become china's junior partner for strictly capitalist reasons - russia is but a resource dump while china's a manufacturer - don't wipe your mug with ideologyIt was for political reasons, actually. The Russian government really wanted to be Europe's resource dump for a very long time and it was very annoying to listen to the excuses that went along with it. Some people still do and it's still humiliating to hear, but brave Evropa Warriors have done a lot to rectify this situation. I am thankful for that.
>3. this is first and foremost a response to the half assed attempts at gaslighting >ooga booga why urup not stong like rashka strong, all of the above is but a detractionI don't think this meme
>>2584775 was made by people who care all that much about Russia. We are not the centre of the world. People both in Europe and outside have plenty of reasons to laugh at the EU.
>>2584853you can always go back to where you belong, kevin ivanovich and spare yourself the shame
>>2584866DDRanon is a known regular, shut the fuck up newfag. He is most likely more European than you considering your usage of words that originate in the liberal sewers of the Russian-speaking Internet.
>>2584871there's plenty of russian posters, they've got internet there
i'm sorry i have interacted with your people to the point of learning some of your slang i assure you it was not my choice
>>2584784bunch of words, but it the end all it amounts is how hard the EU bites the pillow for the US's wishes.
"Fuck the EU" america says, and it did, now it's just another shithole enclave like japan and australia.
>>2584872Yes, I am one. Not DDRanon. Not everyone who doesn't want European countries to bow to Daddy Trump (an expression by NATO General Secretary) and pay hundreds of billions for shit that failed to defend Israel in a 12-day conflict is Russian. I would actually prefer it if you did but it's his taxes that get wasted in such a way, so I sympathize with him.
>>2584871that poster is a pole who thinks communism is asiatic and genetically incompatible with europeans btw
>>2584866Unfortunately i can't go back to the DDR, Koti.
>>2584871He's not a newfag, he's sort of a meme himself even, if i'm not mistaken. He is a notorious liberal NAFO spammer and hated by left and right on all German imageboards since many years. He lives in the Ruhr area and is of Polish descent.
>>2584880>shithole enclave like japan and australia.should you really be throwing words like that around when 11/10 of your people would eat their own children to be able to live in japan or australia?
>>2584882well it's been created by an asiatic people (jews) of an asiatic country (russia), there is fundamentally no difference between it and confucianism as far as europeans are considered
it's definitely not compatible with polish nature i can attest to that
>>2584890that's not me i am a metalhead from franconia
>>2584890>polelol doesn't even live in potezna pooplskahilarious
>>2584891>should you really be throwing words like that around when 11/10 of your people would eat their own children to be able to live in japan or australia?the amount of drug usage and suicide from these shitholes say tells another story mister stagnation.
>>2584901check the stats for a prize
>>2584897Fast witzig, Koti. Fast.
>>2584907majority of the Japs that wanted to kill themselves already did and Australians just legalized their drug use so not a crime lmao.
either way, europe is just the bitch on the leash of the US these days, so why i'm talking with you and not your master is a mistery.
>>2584891>well it's been created by an asiatic people (jews) of an asiatic country (russia), there is fundamentally no difference between it and confucianism as far as europeans are considereddas rite krakkka! asian BVLLS gon keep winning and timmy gon keep losing! what timmy gon do? not read up on marxism-leninism, mao zedong thought, deng xiaoping thought that lets them achieve economic feats, that's for sure
>>2584709>You didn't know what Ukraine was 4 years ago. Are you projecting? Every Eastern European has followed this conflict since 2014 or at least I have due to proximity and me possible ending in the meat grinder.
>way justified in thinking they can get away with having a military presence on Soviet Union territory.Russia is a complete neoliberal shithole and has nothing to do with communism or the USSR.
The French state is drifting into a logocracy. I can tell you, comrade, that I think it is falling into the hands of fascists like Giorgia Meloni, Orban, the AFD, or the RN in France. Europe is in danger of falling apart. Left-wing movements are not bringing enough people together. We must organize and fight against fascist propaganda by responding to the words of our socialist and Marxist comrades in order to have ideologies that are acceptable to the general public.
>>2584959>in order to have ideologies that are acceptable to the general public.Masses barely accept social democracy.
>>2584959Maybe because the "Left" is the same (secularized) religious nonsense as the "Right" where they promise to save the world from the evil Other, end suffering, and prevent the Apocalypse. Except only the "Right" consistently appeals to obscene enjoyment and sadism, on top of of being shameless and unapologetic about it. Making it much more appealing compared to the "Left"?
The part of the "Left" (as far as it exists in this country) here running in elections and calling themselves "communists" concern themselves primarily with geopol shit, saint worship and "anti-imperialism". They're also anti-lgbt.
Maybe instead of yet another eschatological ideology people ought to subordinate their lives to, "The Left" should listen more to locals (e.g. workers and co-workers in their own towns and neighborhoods). And critique the metaphysical flaws of "bad faith" arguments like xenophobia, instead of appealing to "The Truth" (e.g. consult the graphs!).
I no longer feel there's any point to identifying with movements denying communism as something possible in the present (or already existing at small scales) anyway. Communism as the historical eschaton bringing salvation from suffering, fear and having to make choices through complete transcendence of the human condition is indistinguishable from organized religion.
>>2584678>Confusing exports and domestic productionShameful really
>>2585545>The part of the "Left" (as far as it exists in this country) here running in elections and calling themselves "communists" concern themselves primarily with geopol shit, saint worship and "anti-imperialism". They're also anti-lgbt.Yeah. And we haven't even reached peak tailism, which will happen after Le Pen and the others win.
>>2584955>Russia is a complete neoliberal shithole and has nothing to do with communism or the USSR.Someone smarter than me should write an effortpost about this genre of leftist for whom the tragedy of USSR's fall does not lay in abandonment of socialist project and the suffering privatisations brought, but in teritorial loss and flag change.
