/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Pretty much, there used to be a pretty good Podcast that was a step by step self-analysis of the Western left by Aime and studebaker called "What's Left" and it really drove home to the point that the Western Left is mostly just "Human face" of internalized Neoliberalism where the left places "progressive" largely anarkiddie/pomo wash over what functionally are Neoliberal/Individualist policies. Sadly Early What's Left has been scrubbed from the internet and all that remains is the shitty post-left version after Leftards bullied Aime into being post-left by relentlessly calling her a strasserite for criticizing AOC back when AOC was KWEEEEEN and Studebaker left because the Podcast had like 20 listeners.
Another issue is that Western Left is largely a cultural PMC movement and they have pretty strong disdain for genuine working class people or working class collective culture. This is why every Westoid Left org I've been a part of for near 20 years has had everyone mock the big match on as "Sportsball" for example.
Also in general, the Western Left engages in no fucking self-criticism, ever, in fact, if you critique the Westoid left, enjoy becoming persona-non grata pretty fucking fast in activist spaces. Even here on Leftypol you can cop a ban pretty quickly for applying diamat thinking to supposed "progressive" positions that don't really hold up under scrutiny.

Motherfucker you did NOT just reference Aimee Therese anywhere NEAR a supporting argument to critique the left with a Chinese flag in your name.

That bitch is fucking insane, was always insane, and was taking LITERAL Peter Thiel money the entire time. She was a fucking stooge, completely cynical and compromised from day one. An actual modern day Strasserite, surrounded by reactionary racist idiots and weird groupers.

You can critique the left all you want, I think western leftists are retarded in many many ways, but don't you DARE bring that ghoul up again.

>Has neoliberalism destroyed the left that bad that now everyone has the individualist petit boo conscience
It's been this way for at least the last 40 years

look at the UK, david miller anaylisis of the your party debacle, and he makes some interesting connections. most of these people are part of the whole novara media/guardian/owen jones etc… ecosystem, these people are all mates, know each other, married to people in the labour party, married to people in the glow agencies, or the state, all of them went to oxbridge.

Eh? Aimee was always an extremely thoughtful Marxist thinker and Left wing critic until around late 2019 where Left Idpol retards wrecked Bernie, constantly called her and Ben Strasserites and What's left functionally fell apart.
Yes, I agree, Aimee is personality wise, totally unhinged, clearly ADHD+BPD, but she was a phenomenal leftist critic and Marxist thinker in her prime instead of the reactive, schizo joke she is today.
Also Early What's Left had her and Ben bouncing off eachother, which is what made it so fanatstic.
I don't know how any Marxist could listen to Aimee-Ben era What's Left and largely disagree with any of their takes.
> She was a fucking stooge, completely cynical and compromised from day one.
No, classic What's Left she was always completely 100% on point and she predicted exactly how Bernie's and Corbyn's movements were going to implode back in 2018, and they imploded in that exact way in 2019/2020.
As a Marxist as well, you SHOULD be cynical of the left. The Western Left is a fucking clownworld joke filled with pathological losers who have not won not a single battle since the 1970s. Every single "progressive" reform in the past 50 years has been on the back of Capitalism market demands, not Leftist activism.

I mean, look at Ben here, still 100% on point yet a fucking retard shitlib leftard like Brie still can't accept any decent, thoughtful critique of the Left or it's retarded strategies or positions.
Seriously what did Aimee ever say back then that was "Strasserite" she was called a "stasserite" simply because she was anti-Idpol, just like everyone associated with the "dirtbag left" and Stupidpol were back then.

Dangerously based and RED pilled

The Western Left is cooked because of their own mistakes and they are 100% aware of it. That's why they pivoted to solely focusing on "anti imperialism" and China navel gazing, and millenarian beliefs of Global South rising up and destroying capitalism etc etc

Because the 'eastern' communist movement is just anti-liberal developmentalism and there's no room to do that the west because it's already highly industrialized.

Politics doesn’t exist in the US, start from there, there is no left or right because there is no human agency in a place that overdeveloped

Everyone who calls themselves a communist in 2025 is a larping liberal. Communism no longer meaningfully exists in any sense.

Outside of China that is

The term "libertarian" has been so thoroughly trodden into the mud by American political discourse that it has no real meaning anymore. Originally it was synonymous with "leftist" or "liberal" and was all about egalitarianism and socioeconomic equality, but then in 19th century America the term started being appropriated by laissez-faire anarchocapitalists who started calling themselves "libertarians", they divorced the term of its connection to social justice and equality and instead made it completely about economics and no taxes for the rich and let society be ruled by unaccountable private tyranny.

My serious honest to Marx opinion: There are no such thing as a "Libertarian." they simply do not exist. (No, being excessively sappy doesn't constitute being a libertarian.)

Liberalism doesn't exist either. We're serfs. Pay the tax to your LORD bitch.
