Eurocentrism Anonymous 02-05-26 23:01:48 No.2800238

Eurocentrism is the dominant ideology of capitalist society, which also exists within the "left-wing" movement. It has certain specific characteristics:

Left Eurocentrism builds upon the bourgeois unilinear theory of "social progress," with Europe serving as the highest peak and the universal reference point of world history.
Left Eurocentrism uses a false version of historical materialism to present early capitalism as a progressive social order on a global scale, while in reality, it was only progressive in relation to the feudal system in the major European states.
Left Eurocentrism underestimates the role of colonialism, the slave trade, etc., as the foundation for the historical origins and ongoing accumulation of the capitalist mode of production.
Left Eurocentrism schematizes world history based on the European experience and forces everything into this mold—for example, the expectation that all societies must go through a succession of the same modes of production (slave-owning, feudal) as Europe, or else they are considered "backward."
Left Eurocentrism assumes that advanced productive forces necessarily lead to advanced struggles; it underestimates the peasantry; it conceives of revolution primarily as the dividing of the national pie between the proletariat and the bourgeois class in the major capitalist countries.
In its approach to international relations, Left Eurocentrism elevates inter-imperialist contradictions above the fundamental contradiction between oppressor and oppressed nations, and it considers relations between great powers to be the main events in world politics.
Left Eurocentrism fails to see the continuous nature of super-exploitation and the unequal international division of labor as the basis of imperialism, and it attempts to explain dynamics without giving any place to the relations between imperialist and dependent countries.
Left Eurocentrism does not recognize the extent to which the main contradictions of the capitalist mode of production are embodied in the contradictions between oppressor and oppressed nations, and therefore considers nationalism in colonial countries to be backward and a hindrance.
Left Eurocentrism generally considers national liberation movements to be subordinate to the supposed interests of the proletarian movement in the "advanced" countries, and dictates to them what they should do.

All of this is just another campist excuse for why fascist despots in non-western countries are actually based and cool and anyone who wants to revolt against them is actually a racist imperialist/CIA asset

There’s no such thing as class struggle, every existing state is a Hegelian state, representing the interests of their respective societies as a whole, not of any particular class.

>campist
Trot neocons screeching empty words, but we have the receipts of what you NATO camp follower boot-polishers did in Libya and Syria and Ukraine and Iran etc etc etc. The antifa left will never escape their reputation for being servants of the Jeffrey Epstein class. Leftists define their entire personality around seething at "Assadists" who resist their CIA operations to build Greater Israel

>All of this is just another excuse
You didn't read any of OP's post did you? Zionist liberals are so arrogant they will never read a single word written by their global slaves, but they're baffled that no one wants to read their latest anti-Iran, anti-Russia, anti-China Trot neocon zines on Marxists.org or WSWS
>anyone who wants to revolt against them is actually a racist imperialist/CIA asset
<no denial, just the assumption that theoretically there must exists at least one antifa Trot who isn't a globalist cuck
"Venezuela is Hamas"…"Iran needs to be bombed for peace" - actually existing anti-fascists who fight despot regimes
