Poland. Our best and biggest (because it is the only one) communist party was last seen on street over a year ago in hand’s numbers.
Anarchists, trots etc. can do few hundred but as you can expect it’s hard to organise.
Succdems are inert, for years they only either go with libs or organize picnics that can’t even be named protests.
Libs can mobilise quite numbers, but only for special cases, like the effective abortion ban (of course it was unsuccessful). I don’t think they would do it here, even as a surefire method of getting popular support against PiS, because as all libs ever they fear organised working class way more than they fear conservatists.
Unions and peasants have a bit of power left, but they are unwilling to rise in a serious protest and are easily distracted and disorganised by empty promises, crumbs and by the solidarność scabs.
