ČSSD as well as KDU-ČSL are very much centre/-right parties, which is what I meant by neoliberal. They're not left, they're part of the problem. This is like the Democrats in the U.S. They don't actually represent the left, they got co-opted by the same interests as the Rebuplicans + they don't hate gays, (great, but a low bar).

So in essence these sorts of parties are no different than the right ones, they stand for incrementalism+cronyism and because incrementalism doesn't work for many people they turn to the right as a result.

If you think to Bernie Sanders vs Hillary Clinton, parties like ČSSD and KDU-ČSL represent the Hillary type, but what you really need on the left is the Bernie, or even better, Jeremy Corbyn type of person/party.

I agree that corrupt bureaucracy is a problem, but breaking barriers to entry for small/medium businesses is on top of the left-wing agenda in parts of the world where real left actually is, that's why when you think of European startups, you think Scandinavia.

> There is no party that stands for the Nordic model.

That's because the Nordic model is a nuanced one and from my experience you get shouted at as if you're a communist if you ever mention it in Eastern Europe, mostly because people don't understand it, but it's hard to even make your case without getting attacked.
