Of course all political parties are disgusting in liberal democracies but there are some that just are insane.
In Mexico it has to be PAN, they’re your usual latin american conservative party. Elitists, very catholic, racists, malinchistas ( they hate mexico and its culture ). Right now they’re going insane because a former secretary of national security was declared guilty off collaborating with drug cartels in a US jury ( they idolize the US so this is funny af )
I live in Canada. In terms of the parties that are actually in Parliament, they’re all disgusting. The Green Party seems to be the least horrible among the major ones, but, 1, they’re still very much liberal just with somewhat more concern about the environment, and 2, has so few seats that they literally do not matter in the slightest.
Occasionally you’ll get an independent running that identifies as something actually leftist, sometimes even ML, not the Canadian standard perception of what’s left wing (most Canadians think the NDP and Green Party are as left as Lenin), but they tend to be super obscure so you kind of have to take their word for it (it’s sad that a candidate even knowing the word Marxist is news in Canada), but not like it matters because each voting district is first past the post so you’re literally wasting your ballot if you vote for them.
Provincial, district/county, and municipal governments are no better. Actually, they’re basically just smaller versions of the Federal government. Like a nesting doll of mostly libtrash and occasional fascism.
Many independent First Nations tribal councils and governments are also very based, but again, in an imperialist colonial country they can affect very little, and don’t even have full control in their own reserve lands, which, you know, they’re in theory supposed to, and it honestly seems super tone deaf to even call them part of “Canada”. It’d be like like if you called all the post-holocaust Soviet governments German, or called the Chinese CPC a Japanese political party.
The Communist Party of Canada is a thing and also seems fairly based, but once again, not like it matters. Same with the Red Nation presence here, which is Indigenous socialism. Probably a few more Marxist parties here and there. Very good that they exist and they still do a lot of good work don’t get me wrong, but I just don’t see them having the ability to pull off a socialist revolution in the current societal climate. Here’s hoping for the future and there’s definitely a lot of work to be done before a revolution is possible.
Unfortunately, the Communist Party in Canada is an absolute joke here. Led by close-minded boomers, they’ve had multiple sex abuse scandals/cover-ups and have completely undone any gains they’ve had in the last 10 years and have lost a ton of members. They basically only exist online.
To add to what you said, we have the “People’s Party of Canada” which sounds like it could be a socialist party, but in reality it’s a neo-fascist party that split off of the Conservative Party (also led by a neo-fascist) for not being fascist enough for their tastes. Thankfully they have no seats but they get more votes than all socialist parties combined. In addition to that, they are various provincial parties in the same vein. As you can guess, these parties are antivax, racist nationalist, anti-intellectual, and pro-corporate greed. Their flunkies are mostly responsible for that ‘convoy’ bs you may have heard of in the news. Even though they are mostly on the fringe, they quite accurately reflect the neo-fascist nature of settler colonialism and their views would’ve been mainstream 100 years ago.
Your comment about the PPC reminded me about when we were going over different political ideologies in my PoliSci class, my professor asked us if we knew of any Canadian fascist parties. My instant thought was ‘one hundred percent the PPC’ and a fellow student actually did say the PPC, but my professor just laughed and said they were definitely not fascist.
I don’t know what the point of me making this comment was…
Yeah, which is why I often say “neo-fascist” because you’ll inevitably have someone be like 'well aaactually that’s not real fascism…". It’s a contradiction. They don’t outright say that they are fascists, but they are the preferred party of neo-nazis and the like and have similar views. It’s a smokescreen to appeal to workers, just like the blackshirts or nsdap.
