I've had an exceptional performance pay rise, as well as a promotion pay rise in the job I started 3 years ago. My salary is now only 5k behind where it should be if it has kept up with inflation

And this is why it's important to vote for socialist and communist parties, folks. They actually fight for your labour rights!

aint any normal and functioning person trying yo vote a communist party here in Estonia. pretty sure SDE is the most left-wing party.

as a normal and functioning person, i prefer liberty over capitalism (since the latter always eventually seeks to silence those who strive for labour rights).

just ask anarchist and council communists, they want a society without greed and without authoritarianism. e.g. through decentralisation, unionisation, and fully worker-owned co-operatives.

That is: a workplace without greedy CEOs. and also ideally, a gift economy wherein abundant and rationed by need wherein non-abundant.

Communism has a horrible reputation in Estonia that cannot be changed.

Specifically, stalinism and marxism-leninism.

I'm not so sure it would have that reputation for anarchocommunism.

it would, it's attached to communism and has it in it's name.

It saddens me to hear that stigma. For authoritarian forms I can understand, but for liberationist forms, it's a pity. We need to overcome that stigma imposed by red and cash fascists.
