i’ll accept “leftism” as a meaningful and useful term when someone can give me a definition that actually excludes socdems, patsocs, and NAFO-anarchists
i draw the bare minimum line at being anticapitalist and broadly antinationalist (exception for liberatory/decolonial nationalism, and pragmatically not destroying your state while the US exists). a couple centuries ago i might have drawn the line at republicanism vs monarchism, and a couple centuries in the future if the capitalists are gone there’ll probably be some struggles about how centrally organized the bureaucracy should be.
libs and so on obviously don’t use my definition because it would correctly position them as right-wing.
i’m handwaving all social issues here obviously. A place like Burkina Faso needs the chance to follow Cuba’s footsteps on queer rights and so on. In the future people may look back aghast on the AES of the 20th and 21st centuries for their carnism but i can’t stand up and honestly say that i think veganism is inherent to leftism when it’s not inherent to AES, not even Kerala.
what’s nafo mean
NATO enthusiasts who often couch their imperialism in left-sounding rhetoric. They cheerlead for the nazi kiev regime.
I envy you for not knowing tbh.
NAFO stands for North Atlantic
FascistFellas Organization, basically a bunch of NATO bootlickers on Twitter with dog profile pictures.When I use it, I refer broadly to the tendency toward democratization and away from oligarchic dominance, in keeping with the French Revolution origins of ‘right’ and ‘left’
The groups you’ve named all truncate or abandon democratization in order to preserve privilege.
