I donβt see it as left punching as much as calling out campists and .ml mods. I see it as holding up actual leftist values rather than forming a political philosophy around relitigating the cold war. I have never defended Israel, I have called out the issue with religious fundamentalism in this conflict. I have and will continue to call Israel an apartheid state.
Like I said, MLs literally cannot imagine the existence of political theory after 1924.
Also, my account is at least 5% femboy worship. At least do your homework.
Yes, Marx definitely wrote a lot about "western chauvinism." Perhaps you mean "social chauvinism?" Because it's definitely very confusing language for the under studied. Perhaps you should pick up some German language.
Again, I just can't help but be struck by the stark chasm between this liturgical internet "leftism," which seems confused between the principals of pragmatic worker liberation, versus the fantasy that Lenin's autocracy ever achieved anything noteworthy. But I guess populist fan service gets engagement, so who cares about results, right?
