    English is allowed in a lot of instances here in Belgium, but it’s not an official language. Here it would be Dutch, french and German.

    In practice, employees at city hall will just speak English but if they kept themselves to the rules then they would have to speak one of the official languages to the person.

    The unity is present when we’re looking at the Ukraine-Russian war. Only Hungary is opposed.

    I do believe there’s a sense of unity within Europe.

    You say you went to Russia and they think we’re too lax. Now when the war broke loose. People protested and they were arrested. Opposition seemingly is silenced in Russia. Their broadcasting, just like in EU, sells a story.

    We don’t have much of a choice. Neither do the Russians.

    It’s an unfortunate situation.

    I think the communists side with Russia because of its history, not its present state. The history of the USSR is vast and impactful for communists.

    However, current day Russia looks like an oligarchy to me. Putin is one wealthy dude. Some sources say he’s worth 200 billion USD.

    To me, Ukraine is like Palestine and Russia is like Israel.

    To communists it’s not like that.

    It’s very simple to me. The one crossing the border with their army is the aggressor.

      It seems as if you are absolute in your beliefs and not willing to actually understand others’ viewpoints. A lot of comrades have replied to you in this same post but your answers say a lot about you. And since you mentioned being somewhat of a capitalist yourself in another comment, it looks like you’re predisposed of blindly accepting western brainwash. I don’t like to judge people but you do give off that kind of impression.

      Maybe staying in touch with a Marxist-Leninist instance will be of long-term benefit for you. Maybe not. Politics are not as simple as you seem to think.

      Best wishes.
