| '''Patriotic socialism''' (abbreviated '''Patsoc''') is an [[Opportunism|opportunist]] and [[Revisionism|revisionist]] movement, born in the [[United States of America|United States]], that advocates for [[patriotism]] within the [[imperial core]]. It is distinct from patriotism within [[Anti-imperialism|anti-imperialist]], [[Colonialism|colonized]], and [[Socialism|socialist]] countries. Patriotic socialism has grown to become its own strand of "socialist" theory, especially within the Communist movement in the United States. However, this trend is wholly different from "patriotism as applied to socialism". The confusion however is often exploited by followers of this ideology so as to associate themselves with more progressive (and successful) patriotic movements, such as are seen in the [[State of Palestine|Palestinian]] struggle or in [[Mao Zedong|Mao]]'s [[People's Republic of China|People's Republic China]]. | | '''Patriotic Socialism''', or '''PatSoc''' in short, is not a real thing, but [[liberal|libtards]] think it is for some reason. It emerged as a libtard pejorative against those who subscribed to and seek to apply the most basic [[Marxist-Leninist]] principle of '[[Socialist Patriotism|Socialist Patriotism.]]' The term was coined by liberals because it bares resemblance to '[[National Socialism]],' in an attempt to associate [[Communism|Communists]] with [[National Socialism|Nazism]]. For many years, left-liberals discovered that if they call people who disagree with them Nazis, they will simply disappear. But this no longer works, which now explains their extreme butthurt. |

| It should be noted that the name ''patriotic socialism'' was also coined by its followers and remains the name they prefer to be called today, thus marking a clear difference with ''socialist patriotism'' or other similar terms.
| | Recently, left-liberals started adopting 'Marxist-Leninist' aesthetics as the fulfillment of a liberal power fantasy, due to [[Right-Wing]] retards associating left-liberal idols like [[Bill Gates]], [[Klaus Schwab]], and [[Joe Biden]] with Communism. This was started by a BDSM gimp pervert named 'BayArea415' who pretended to adopt pro-China views just to spite Republicans who demonized China. They attempted to transform Marxism-Leninism into a rebellious form of 'political Satanism' just to spite their own retarded and superficially 'anti-communist' boomer parents. |

| The people who are commonly associated as theorists of patriotic socialism include [[Haz]], [[Caleb Maupin]], and [[Jackson Hinkle]].<ref name=":0">[https://regenerationmag.org/american-patriotism-or-national-liberation/ American Patriotism or National Liberation?]</ref><ref name=":2">[https://www.socialist.net/left-patriotism-an-opportunist-disorder.htm 'Left patriotism': An opportunist disorder]</ref><ref name=":1">{{Web citation|author=[[Infrared]]|newspaper=Youtube|title=Socialist Patriotism: America vs. America|date=2022-10-26|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eveOKE4Ones&t=915s|retrieved=2022-10-3}}</ref>

| Patriotic socialism is a rapidly evolving ideology, and as a consequence of the disorganization and cliquishness among is adherents, may change its appearance quickly and often as needed, and often lacks any sort of commonly-agreed upon theory or principles that are beyond a few basic tenets.

| For instance, the patriotic socialist collective [[Infrared]] published a manifesto presenting ''MAGAcommunism'' in September 2022, which was previously restricted to an esoteric hashtag, holds this reactionary, tailist slogan as their ideological line. It should be noted that the [[Center for Political Innovation]] dissolved a month prior the publishing of this essay due to allegations of abuse brought up by members against Caleb Maupin.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Haz Al-Din|newspaper=[[Infrared]]|title=THE RISE OF MAGA COMMUNISM|date=2022-9-18|url=https://showinfrared.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-maga-communism?sd=pf|retrieved=2022-9-22}}</ref>

| Other general positions can similarly be identified. Patriotic socialists advocate for an alliance with, and indeed commonly tail the interests and ideological tendency of, the [[petty bourgeoisie]] (whom they conflate with the [[proletariat]]).<ref>{{Web citation|author=[[Infrared]]|newspaper=Youtube|title=Rise of the Mecha-Tankies|date=2022-7-19|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPojH2KtLks|retrieved=2022-10-3}}</ref> They further tend to promote [[Aleksandr Dugin|Dugin]] and [[Lyndon LaRouche|LaRouche]] to their followers and align with them: two [[Anti-communism|anti-communist]], quasi-[[Fascism|fascist]] and [[Mysticism|mysticist]] writers. They also align with [[right-wing]] [[Populism|populist]] protest movements, such as the Tea Party movement, or the [[2022 Truckers' Protest|2022 Trucker protests]].

| Several patriotic socialists were very vocal about the 2022 Cuban constitutional referendum that abolished the monopoly of the nuclear family and recognized many other forms of family. They decried it as "degeneracy" and considered Cuba to no longer be socialist. This indicates a large share of chauvinist and reactionary opinions in the movement that are not being addressed.

| Finally, they wholly reject [[decolonialism]] in the United States, holding instead that if workers are liberated, it would include Native and minority workers too.<ref name=":1" />

| Patriotic socialism, even after several years of existing, is a movement that remains mostly online: notably using social media to create virality and thus visibility.

| They have yet to form a political party, instead promoting the ''CPUSA 2036'' slogan: an attempt at infiltrating and sabotaging the [[Communist Party of the United States of America|Communist Party of the USA]] and win the 2036 presidential election with it. The Center for Political Innovation for example was registered as a think tank by Caleb Maupin, and not as a party.

| | |
| Patriotic socialists tend to attack the left -- including the projects and efforts of communists and marxist-leninists, particularly when it is internet-based, but almost never the right. In fact, they often agree with conservatives and boost their message.
