Germany has just this week installed a predominantly-Marxist government.  You in the Netherlands have a Marxist Socialist Party.  We in  have a governing party that is firmly Marxist. The Corbyn wing (about 40% of the    Labour Party is happily Marxist.
 

Of course, modern Marxists do not have luxuriant moustaches, smoke pipes & speak with thick  accents, but they’re still firmly in that tradition.

In India, we have Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist) as mainstream national parties. CPI(M), in alliance with CPI and other parties, even rules the state government in Kerala and is a major player in some other states.

And in the Netherlands  

 

 

I've never heard of a real-life Sem or Noah or Finn or Mees or Mila* or Yara in the Netherlands, but I guess I'm either living too much in the countryside where the popular city things are less popular or - most likely - I'm just not in contact with enough people, especially people with children  

 

*the neighbour's monstrous dog is called Mila, I believe, but I doubt that counts

Most popular 2021 names in Poland through June (Zuzanna (Susan) & Julia are the two most popular girls' names of the 2010s.

That list already consists of exactly one name here...also a girl's name, which would make it a huge challenge in case it'd be a boy because we have absolutely no clue despite several years of trying to come up with something
