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?

Germany’s Industrial Output Suffers Sharpest Drop Since 2022, Raising Recession Fears>Germany’s industrial sector faced a significant setback in August, with output plunging by 4.3% compared to the previous month, marking the steepest monthly decline since March 2022. The drop was primarily driven by a sharp 18.5% fall in automotive production, as frontloaded U.S. demand ahead of tariffs faded. The figures, released by the Federal Statistics Office, came as a shock, with analysts having forecasted only a 1% decline.>The broader industrial output, measured on a three-month comparison, showed a 1.3% fall between June and August relative to the previous three months. Germany’s manufacturing industry has been struggling for momentum amid high energy prices, weak export orders, and global economic uncertainty following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.>The unexpected contraction raises concerns that Germany’s economy could slide into another recession, following a 0.3% contraction in the second quarter of 2025. As Europe’s largest economy and its key manufacturing hub, Germany’s performance has a ripple effect on the wider eurozone.https://archive.ph/HsWyv Do EU annons critically support Russia against American imperial domination of the European continent?
>>2541956If you want a serious answer, from what I saw European socialists seem to consider it an imperialist war. Pro peace, against militarisation. Anarchists lean team Ukraine thought.
>>2542132>Anarchists lean team Ukraine thoughtnah
>>2542133Dont they? At least in my country they do, although they did sour up on it in recent year. I think Palestine is to blame to that.
>>2542164They're not a random Christian party, they've always done well. Before Rutte the CDA provided the Prime Minister Balkenende. To answer your question, many people want a return to decency in politics after the shit show that transpired since last election and Bontebal in decently charismatic.

>>2538878> The reconstitution of the USSR is the position that MLs have across Europe in order to facilitate the revival of the Communist movement on the continent. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are republics in the USSR that was illegally dissolved and taken over by neo-Nazi separatist bandits.
Absolutely delusional

Who the hell do you think is using all the imported workforce and showing them in shit jobs with slave like conditions?
can you eurosoys do a revolution or something?
>>2541476It is absolutely not ? Yes it was the flag used by Free France (a bourgeois republic imperialistic country) while fighting the fascists. Just because you slap a "freedom symbol" on your flag while fighting fascism does not make you automatically correct, as comrade glownonymous said it was the flag that was flown over the french colonies in Africa, how wholesome.
There is a big difference between the flag of the former SSRs, which are a red flag with some national modifications. If you keep 99% of the original flag it still represents imperialism. And Free France wasn't less imperialist than "Normal" France, it was still very much the French Colonial Empire, nothing more.
I wouldn't call 1789 revolutionnary tradition as being truly "revolutionnary". It was a bourgeois revolution led by the bourgeoisie to take the place of the nobility and to some extent fuse with it. It's not revolutionnary in the communist sens of the term. It was bourgeois bullshit.
>>2541439I honestly am not sure about the reasoning behind the PCRF's goal to dismantle the JC/MJCF. As you said they are borderline chauvinist sectarians so maybe just something along the line of a tribalistic feud. I'm honnestly confused whenever they explain their positions. It's better to let them die of old age in a forgotten corner of the political scene. It could be a psy-op, one of our most proeminent trade union (Lutte Ouvrière (LO)) was originally created by the CIA in the 70's to weaken the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) (the biggest trade union). Officialy the CIA stopped meddling with french politics but we all know that it's false lmao. I wouldn't be suprised that the PCRF has some ties with the CIA.
For the MJCF, the official national line is Marxism-Leninism, with a "softer" application to not scare to much the DGSI (french internal secret service) and the Bourgeois order.
My section of the MJCF is made almost entirely of MLs, and for my PCF section it's a three way split between MLs, Eurocommunists and Reformists
>>2541517>>2542658A Communist France wouldn't be occupying Africa or engaging in neocolonialism. What's wrong with using the French flag in France?
I also wasn't talking about the SSRs, I was talking about the People's Democracies, DDR, PLR, Romania, Hungary, etc.
>>2542301No, because it's over.
>>2542681My bad for the flags, misread what you wrote.
What is wrong with using the French Flag in France is that it was used historically as a symbol of colonialism and imperialism. Whereas eastern-european countries never engaged in imperialism the same way France did for example. But the Romanian flag for example was never flown as a symbol of imperialism and colonialism, however the french flag asbolutely was. The problem is not the flag in itself but what it represents and by whom it was used. You cannot call yourself communist (and even anti-revionnist if you're the PCRF) and fly the flag that colonised and brutalized the global south, massacred the Commune, was used by the political entity that erased violently all regional cultures, etc… The flag of France is a flag of imperialism, and thus should not be flown.
>>2542714Isn't that just moralism? The PCF used the French flag historically, and I believe they still do with the resistance cross and such. Correct me if I'm wrong on that, but in your own country, I don't see anything wrong with seizing power while keeping the original colors with some modifications.
>>2542872The PCF only uses the french flag when wearing the official sash of an elected official (when they're required to). Otherwise I never saw the tricolor french flag being used. We mostly have party flags and (speaking more precisely for my section) we have cuban flags, soviet flags, etc…
If your country isn't part of the imperial core then it's not bad to keep your national flag after the revolution (albeit with some modifications). But for a country part of the imperial core like France or Great Britain, the flag must be severly altered as to stay as far away from the imperialist entity it represented. The amount of modification can be debated (here attached you can see a flag I like), I personnaly think we should strive to change the flag as much as possible, if it is wanted by the people we can keep a few national colors (check attached flag) but we could also absolutely go for an all red flag (like that of the Soviet Union or the Russian SSR). However the flag of the bourgeois republic, even if lightly altered, must NOT be used
>“Excluding the Russian suppliers from the global gas balance would be simply impossible. It would trigger an unprecedented price hike, and the European consumer would pay the most,” the head of Russia’s second-largest gas company said.
Are your wallets ready, fellow enlighteneds?
>>2542714I never saw nor heard of anyone from the global south giving the slightest shit about western flags being used internally.
As a reminder: the Houthis were happy to receive Jackson Hinkle of the American Clown Party, the same dude who said that native americans deserved it.
>>2545060It's more of a critique of the Western Left that the best you have is ACP, and it is not the Houthis fault for having no other representative that wants to talk to them. You're victim blaming the Houthis.
>>2545093keep seething firstie
>>2545060>the same dude who said that native americans deserved it.engels?

>>2541517the tricolour is based. the tricolour is not the emblem of 'colonialism' you retard. it is a great progressive flag. it is the best way one can filter the retarded islamist melenchonistes from the real communists.
