As usual, harcore leftists (LFI) and the far-right (RN)

    I am not sure you understand how ridiculous you sound.

    You think someone is on the left because (checks notes…) says something about Hamas and/or China?

    Are you ok?

    Have people really completely lost their minds?

    It’s like listening to those idiotic Americans calling everything “extreme left” while not having enough grey matter to at least lookup what extreme left used to do. Not that long ago.

    Apparently asking not to be killed these days is extreme left.

    Humans are so fucking stupid, it is incredible.

      The traditional left doesn’t praise the leader of Hamas, China, or Venezuela

      These are tankies

        It seems the disagreement boils down to what position is far-left and what is moderate. It’s worth remembering that there was far-left opposition (against Russian nationalism in particular) to Bolsheviks inside the party, whom they purged in early years, labeling them bourgeois, and tried hard to suppress them from reappearing. The Bolsheviks also got popular by paying lip service to a much different agenda than they implemented, becoming in practice extremely conservative and repressing worker self-government attempts. So I wouldn’t call them far-left, a term that I’d reserve for anarchists and council communists.

        Last I checked, MLs aren’t leftists. Favoring state capitalism and totalitarianism comes closer to fascism than to anything left.
