Unironically using the word geopolitics for example.
https://www.booksite.ru/fulltext/1/001/008/009/600.htm
Geopolitics is a bourgeois, reactionary concept that uses distorted interpretations of physical and economic geography to justify and promote the aggressive policies of imperialist states. Geopolitics's core ideas assert the decisive role of physical and geographical conditions in the life of human society and the inequality of races (see Racism). The theories of Social Darwinism (see Social Darwinism) and Malthusianism (see Malthusianism) are also used. Geopoliticians make extensive use of the concepts of "living space," "natural boundaries," and geographic location to justify militarism and wars of conquest.

The concept of geopolitics arose during the period of imperialism. The first representatives of geopolitics were the Swedish political scientist and pan-Germanist R. Kjellén, who proposed the term "geopolitics" during the First World War (1914-1918) (as a doctrine of the state - a geographical and biological organism striving for expansion), the German geographer F. Ratzel, the English geographer H. Mackinder, the American admiral A. T. Mahan. In the period between the two world wars, geopolitics was intensively cultivated in Germany. Geopolitics became the official doctrine of German fascism. The head of the German geopoliticians was General K. Haushofer, the founder and editor (in 1924-44) of the journal "Zeitschrift für Geopolitik" ("Zeitschrift für Geopolitik"), which promoted the ideas of revanchism and aggression; K. Haushofer was closely connected with the leadership of the fascist party. In the United States in the 1940s. Geopolitics' ideas were developed by N. Speakman and other geographers and sociologists.

After World War II (1939–45), geopolitics began to revive in the United States, West Germany, and other imperialist states to justify the militarization of their countries, aggressive policies, and ideas of revanchism directed against socialist countries and national liberation movements. In West Germany, the journal "Zeitschrift für Geopolitik" was republished in 1951; the "Union of Geopolitics" was revived. Contemporary geopoliticians attempt to explain the contrast between socialist and capitalist countries by geographic factors.

>using a word makes you hitler
when will leftoids stop being obssesed with language and focus on more concrete things again?

They always decide some words are right-wing, conveniently after the right decide to appropriate them, so I assume it's unironic psy-ops to constantly give them grounds and increasingly divide communities by adding more and more taboo words that makes it so you "have" to purge people, very organic

People keep bringing this up as if it doesn't make them fucking retards or bad faith semantic trolls. Back in the day "geopolitics" meant specific pseudoscientific "hearthland-rimland" theories. The term's usage has evolved to basically mean international political and power relations, which would be insane to claim that the Soviets didn't analyze or participate in.

Incidentally it's also similar to the advent of the myth that the USSR rejected cybernetics. Soviet researchers criticized "cybernetics" because back in the day the term meant social theories propagated by proto-techbros about how computers can solve every societal and economic problem. It didn't mean that the Soviets thought computers are bourgeois.

imageboards will never scape being just this, just shut them down already, set us free

>Unironically using the word geopolitics for example.
Correct. Geopolitics is at best a liberal and unscientific view of international relations and politics. On sites like this even that is too charitable a view.

Some other defining features of hitlerites masquerading as "Communists":
  • denial or minimization of the national question; denial of the definition of a nation outlined by the ComIntern, particularly Stalin; great nation chauvinism (most dangerously expressed today by American "patriotism", but not limited to that) and the racist attitudes that naturally stem from that.
  • denial or warping of the Leninist view of imperialism (related to espousing geopolitics); denial or warping of the neocolonial stage of imperialism (again, geopolitics)
  • denying or minimizing the necessary role of women's liberation in the revolutionary movement, male chauvinism; denying or minimizing the socially constructed nature of gender and sexuality
  • denying the importance of anti-revisionism in keeping the revolutionary struggle revolutionary; obscuring the meaning of revisionism (acting like nobody knows what it means)
  • resisting or denying in practice the need to raise the masses up to the level of leadership; acting as "saviors" to communities and doing nothing to actually raise their level of consciousness and organization; justifying this with the belief that charity magically produces revolutionaries
  • refusal to engage with the basic contradiction of first world trade unionism with anti-imperialism everywhere else; refusal to engage with (oftentimes out of fear of) the lowest and most oppressed masses
  • reducing organizing and revolutionary work to social media struggles; streaming
