Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations
12 readers

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

Leave it to Switzerland to be reactionary as fuck, yet fly under the radar as the "coolest" European country.
IIRC women couldn't open bank accounts without their husband's permission until the eighties. Women's right to vote came so late apparently because it was always left to a "Volksabstimmung" (plebiscite) and since only men could vote in those they didn't see the benefit in allowing women.
