Leftist.jpg

Leftism is the prevailing ideology of American unipolarity and the artificial network of institutions, NGOs, and activist groups which manage and police the flow of information within Western countries. Leftism adopts the aesthetic of historical left-wing politics, but in practice it seeks to defend and preserve the status quo of modern liberalism and to sanitize any political expression into a safe, compatible form.

Despite laying claim to revolutionary aesthetics, leftist groups promote the agenda of the international financial monopolies under the guise of 'progress.' For instance, environmentalism[1] and LGBTQ rights[2] are frequently used as justification for imperialist attacks against countries that develop in a way which challenges the established monopolies.

Leftist groups receive funding and resources from various sections of the bourgeoisie through a complex network of nonprofits, philanthropic foundations, trusts, and personal connections.[3][4] Well known sources of funding include the Ford Foundation, the Arcus Foundation, George Soros' Open Society Foundations, and the National Endowment for Democracy. It was discovered that PSL, ANSWER Coalition, Vijay Prashad's Tricontinental Institute, and associated groups were funded by billionaire Neville Roy Singham.[5]

Haz Al-Din describing leftism in The Rise of MAGA Communism:

Leftists, meanwhile, believe in some doctrine, some principles, some theory of abstract change, domesticated change, distilled change for its own sake. And in actual reality, they participate in no political change at all. They subscribe to the religion of change, which is in actuality the putrescence of stagnation.

The leftist is in fact the greatest enemy of the partisan, not simply because they have contrary values, but contrary subjectivities. Leftism represents the highest development of the bourgeois political ideology, which is based on what is supposed to be the ultimate form of change. Leftism is the ideology of American unipolar imperialism, the highest stage of bourgeois political modernity, which seeks to formalize not only all politics, but all culture, society, etc. under the principle of universal formal equality.

Leftism grounds politics not in partisanship, but in some supposedly universal morality, and the fundamental enduring fact of political antagonism vindicates the leftist’s sense of smug self-satisfied superiority. Political conflict endures - not because of any fundamental contradiction grounding politics - but because people are too reactionary, too fascist, too immoral, or too stupid to accept the supposedly universal values of leftism. For leftists, enmity is not so much based on the friend-enemy distinction of any concrete struggle, but a vicious, savage inhumanity toward all those who fall outside their own discursive community, in a way that is structurally identical to the worst aspects of European racism and Nazism.
