I can see that. PVDA-PTB seem to be too focused on reform to me, although I still think they are the best option and that they have some revolutionary ideas. It’s possible to make them more revolutionary IMO.

I will say I kinda feel the same about BIJ1. I have been toying with the idea of joining NCPN. I kinda feel like BIJ1 can never become a big party and never become the vanguard. The fact that it’s such a big tent party doesn’t help. I like the idea of intersectionality and think that every communist org should include that in their ideals, but for BIJ1 I feel like that’s one of the only things that bind the party together. There’s no coherent leftism in BIJ1 since there’s people from all sorts of leftist movements. We call ourselves a extraparliamentary party but I see nothing of that. I’ve only seen more extraparliamentary work recently but that’s because we’re not in parliament or the municipal council anymore. There wasn’t even a BIJ1 delegation at 1st of May for fuck’s sake. But I hope I can help steer the party more towards Marxism-Leninism and hope I can make them work with other leftist parties more and focus more on extraparliamentary politics. But it’s hrd since I’m just one person, and the other ML’s I know from BIJ1 have left the party now.
