– An American blue maga genocidal democrat and liberal who’s about to spew some pro imperialist and anti socialist rhetoric, and has absolutely no clue what the Left is, or that Left starts at anticapitalism, and that liberals are most definitely not Leftists.
I say this as a Leftist is anarcho-NAFOist version of I am not racist, but
Other bangers include:
“Look, I’m as left as they come but…”
and
“I don’t know anymore more left than me, and even I think that …”I say this as a western leftist, Western Leftists™ are ignorant and chauvinist.
“As a the American left, we believe in «fourteen words go here».” - Average Democrat
“But I vote Bernie.”
Yes I’m a leftist, Bush wasn’t even that bad compared to DJT, it’s like not even comparable! Obama was a good president, they just hated his tan suit! Biden was our guy, don’t ask me what he did though idk what he did but he did good.
By “leftism” they merely mean the liberal wing of capital, not actual communism.
It has gotten to a point where I’m wary of anyone that identifies themselves with leftist. People that are up front about being communists are fantastic, people up front about being socialists somewhat behind.
I think it was the Italian Communist Party that put out a statement once that said, “We are not leftists. We are Communists, and proud of the fact.”
The use of the term “leftist” for self-identification might as well be an admission of failure. Ideological, intellectual, educational, dialectical failure. For all that we mock our “Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Gonzaloist with Trotskyist-Bukharinite tendencies” overtitling nonsense, at least that mistake comes from a place of trying very hard to be informed and coherent. “Leftist” is a term we use for other people - its only real use is when we need a catch-all for a large group of people with disparate tendencies. If you use it to label yourself you’re just telling me you’re not rigorous, or not well-read, or both.
