Very. Fluent in several languages and quite a bon viveur.

Sophisticated enough to hit on the idea of comedy sketches so basic that even foreigners could understand them.

Yes,since Poland is a full member of the EU. The forum however is not based there, and governments have too much to do than waste time and money on trivia. The Polish government is not currently a bunch of cranks from the PiSflaps party wailing about Teletubbies.

Those are Polish laws. The forum isn't based there.

I don't generally think much of the level of comedy and humour in Poland (or anywhere else on mainland Europe; it's just so unsophisticated) however Stanisław Bareia was good. He caught the absurdities of the time just right.

About the cloakroom attendant, it's just about possible to imagine one saying that now. 20 years ago, even more so.

I can't figure out what he's on about.

Especially when he mentions "lefties"? If anything the forum is infested by righturds.

Is he objecting to seeing things he disagrees with? What a snowflake...

And I've no idea what this means: "structural laws of forum management that apply on internet".

Fortunately we've avoided that, despite right wing groups (funded by state entities in r*SSia and private entities in America) doing their best to create division.

That's basically true,

One reason I like our very old fashioned voting system is that it keeps minor parties mostly out and means that the main parties have to be quite broad in approach.

The Labour Party is made up of a broad membership structure of Branches (especially in the northern industrial areas) which cover a council ward (a community of a few thousanfpd) which each send delegates to the constituency party which covers an electoral district of about 70,000 people. They vote for delegates to the NEC (national executive committee) which runs the party. As well, there are the Trade Unions which are affiliated to the party and make up part of its structure, and special interest groups (about 7 or 8) which members can join if they wish. All these send delegates to the annual conference where the party's policies are made.

Where I'm from (you can compare it to the Ruhr Valley albeit neglected by successive right wing governments who fear us) it's always solid Socialist.


Don't assume the Labour Party in the U.K. is anything like those. It's not a party of ideologues.

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]


That doesn't mean very much, however you'll doubtless be relieved to hear that the Labour Party doesn't have flags of Mao or Guevara. They were communists. We aren't.


It isn't. There are mixed economies where private capital is allowed and these tend to be the most liveable countries in the world.


For communists. You're mistaking mainland European absolutism, something that on right or left brings certain countries down again and again.


Not that capitalism has ever existed side by side with poverty and hunger, eh...

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]


Who thinks that? Not any of the Labour Party.


Socialism is the better option and shouldn't be compared to communism, a very different thing, one beloved of some mainland European absolutists.


We aren't a Marxist party. Do not compare us with your own political crazies on the right or the left.

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]


Did you think that the only alternative to unrestricted capitalism is totalitarian Eastern European oppression?


As is almost everybody. Certainly all main parties, as well as the fringe parties on the right. Nevertheless, as a party we ar far less globalist than the alternatives.


Something we've found out to our cost and are moving away from. As for capitalism, it has a role however it needs to exist with strong controls.


Didn't the Incas or Aztecs invent that and played with human heads.

We did invent engines powered by steam, and computers, trains, jet engines, electric motors, antibiotics, chocolate bars, submarines, television, telephones, telescopes, the World Wide Web, hollow pipe drainage, incandescent lighting, the fax machine, bicycles with rear wheel pedal drive, traffic lights, fingerprint forensics, anglepoise lamps, lithium batteries, SMS text messages, fire extinguishers, pencils, toothbrushes and ibuprofen.

That's just a few, barely scraping the surface.

I would hope that every single member is a Socialist since we are a Socialist party. There are a few in the party close to bring Social Democrats however all are Socialist.


Really? No. Not at all.

Is capitalism an entry point to fascism? Actually, don't answer that...


Can you name any?

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]


So who in the parliamentary party do you think is a communist?


Not part of the Labour Party.

A London thing and an attempt at entryism. As you probably know, we expelled their ringleaders.

Keir Starmer? Yes, he's a Socialist, albeit a rather moderate one. A good thing since the U.K. has just elected a Socialist party to govern for the next decade or so...

How quaint, sweet Cherry pie.

What, in your pathetic little opinion, is a 'hand out'?


Can people hide income and savings where you're from? Perhaps when you're an adult you'll be able to try it yourself. In the U.K. though, it's a bit harder since salaries go into people's bank accounts.

What does that reference mean to you?


A out of date nickname for a football team in a city I'm not from?

Weird.


Good that you've quoted out party anthem in full.

Interesting that you highlight Moscow in bold. It was written in 1889. Perhaps you'd spent more studying rather than eating cakes and making anonymous phone calls to people on PF you'd have known that.

Wonderful news today.

It's great news. The less capitalism the better.

For a moment, I thought it said Labour Coop which appears on the voting form in some constituencies where the MP or candidate is a member of both Labour and Coop.

People forget about the Coop Party whose members are usually all also part of the Labour Party. I'm in it too but more out of habit; but don't get involved.

Study / Which is better, Nicolaus Copernicus Medical University or Wroclaw Medical University? [12]

Very true.

And it's just an easier place, better infrastructure, very different people and easier to be foreign.

A bit more expensive but not crazily so and going to Toruń might feel a bit like stepping into the past.

That's not always a bad thing, but not necessarily how every younger person would want to spend 5 years.

THis is true. Although Torun is pretty city (in the centre, anyway), it could become claustrophobic quickly and is very definitely provincial in atmosphere.
