[11] The student wing strives for a spectrum of social goals, such as a sustainable future, universal access to quality education, attention for mental health and climate action.

[12] Comac (short for Change, Optimisme, Marxisme, Activisme, Creativiteit[2] in Dutch and Changement, Optimisme, Marxisme, Activisme, Créativité in French)[13] is a result of the 2002 merger of the Leninist MML, Mouvement marxiste leniniste, and Marxistisch-Leninistische Beweging (MLB),[14] which were active at universities, and Rebelle or Rode Jeugd, who were active in the secondary schools.

[16] In 2022, internal documents of the youth organisation Schild & Vrienden [nl], a far-right Flemish nationalist group, contained plans to infiltrate Comac and gain control from the inside-out, as well as secure influential positions in society.

[17] Comac chairman Max Vancauwenberge has strongly condemned these tactics, calling them "typical methods of fascist organisations: physical and digital intimidation, provocation and violence.

[20] As of 2023, Comac has institutions in the VUB, ULB, Leuven, Antwerp, Ghent, Saint-Louis, Louvain-la-Neuve, Mons, Namur, Charleroi and Liège.

[30] The coalition government had approved over 12.2 billion euro in military allocation, meant to further purchase F-35s, frigates and drones, as well as fund more personnel and digital security.

[34] In early 2022, during the exam period of the first semester, Covid-19 quarantine prevented students from multiple universities from attending their midterm examinations.

[37] On 20 July 2021 (on World Refugee Day) Comac members demonstrated in support of undocumented migrants (sans-papiers) who organized a hunger strike for better regulations of their legal status.

[41] Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and subsequent refugee crisis, the organization held actions at universities such as KU Leuven[42] and UGent as part of a peace initiative.

Comac wishes to mobilize Belgian universities in a call for de-escalation of the war and diplomatic resolution, as well as raise awareness for student refugees, many of whom faced discrimination while fleeing the country.

[44] In cooperation with the WPB as well as RedFox, so-called SolidariTeams were created to help victims of the 2021 European floods in Flanders and Wallonia,[45] many of which needed their houses rid of debris, the interior cleaned and repainted, as well as their basements drained.

Comac also works with a multitude of peace movements, such as Pax Christi and the Belgian Vrede vzw and Hart Boven Hard.
