The term mostly had been invoked by anti-authoritarian leftists derisively toward anyone who still supported the Soviet Union. In time, the usage generalized to apply broadly to authoritarian leftists, such as Marxist-Lenininsts (or Stalinists).
Now is it largely misused by liberals to designate anyone strongly critical of Western imperialism, which includes everyone from anarchists to campists.
The tools of the bourgeoisie are not the means for liberation.
Staying from the path of authentic liberation at most simply leads to different oppressors.
The community has a rule concerning AI-generated content, but the phrasing is not natural to interpret.
Without your comment, I would be at a loss to interpret the post.
Your examples are distant and incidental, in relation to the present, collected largely through cherry picking.
Regardless, western imperialism of the overarching power across the globe. All other systems are distorted to conform to its demands. Thus, it is quite apparently the root cause of problems around the world, especially problems that are geopolitical.
To repeat, Iranian society and government were broadly secular until after foreign intrusion. The colonial relation between Iran versus the US and UK occurs in only one direction.
It is counterproductive to locate primary responsibility other than in the root cause.
I certainly respect anyone who feels the need to leave, but mobility is a privilege not available to everyone. Moreover, we should all respect everyone willing to stay for the fight. Simply, many would prefer fighting to keep their homes over fleeing elsewhere.
Well, as I say, solutions will not be handed down from the top.
We must do the work together of solving our own problems.
The US was founded on slavery and genocide. When elections were implemented, four percent only of the population was granted suffrage, propertied white men.
I always wonder at what particular point the US is believed to have become democratic, since its founders clearly maintained a deep enthusiasm for racism, sexism, and aristocracy.
Bosses and bootlickers both demand our wariness.
No one is coming to save us.
We must do the work of demanding accountability, beginning with our local leaders, and rising all the way to the top.
Yes people still pretend that.
I don’t know where you live, that you think nobody pretends that.
The framing of separating the "authoritarian left" from the actual left is basically accurate.
Why is "Far Left" marked as a trademark?
