    “The Socialist Party […] (was) founded in 1971 as the Communist Party of the Netherlands/Marxist–Leninist”

    Wow based. Wait a minute…

    “the party has since moderated itself from Marxism–Leninism and Maoism towards democratic socialism and social democracy.”

    Ah yeah……

      Welcome to Europe. The party called the social democrats are liberals. The socialists are social democrats. And the party called the “Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary Communists” are the moderate socialists who get 3% of the vote and sometimes they endorse policies to ban all foreigners

        “In 1991, the SP officially scrapped the term Marxism–Leninism because the party had evolved to the point that the term was no longer considered appropriate.”

        Also, the party has a “left conservative” wing that opposes worker migration… feels like a chud party masquerading as leftists.
