    It’s not the French Revolution because the French Revolution can only happen the once. History doesn’t repeat, but it can rhyme.

    Thanks for explaining to me something I already clearly knew given I gave you specifics about the French Revolution, very appreciated.

    Not gonna apologize cause I didn’t “push” maoism. I’m just asking for people with “left” politics to identify an ideological framework that resonates with them and then apply it to their lives instead of complaining about the right and begging capitalists for crumbs. If that’s anarchism, great. If that’s ecosocialism, great. If that’s maoism, great. Anything is better than identifying as a “leftist”.

    That’s again vague enough to apply to some Republicans.

    Or was coherent for the French Revolution, but we aren’t currently undergoing the French Revolution. Also, not aware of a “leftist” party or organizing body from then. Were they the Jacobins, or the Feuillants?

    What the fuck is a leftist.

    Be a communist or a socialist, a syndicalist or an anarchist, a maoist or a ecosocialism, but don’t be a fucking “leftist”. Be something with a defined ideology, legitimate theory, and history of practice.

    Leftists are just Democrats who want to seem to not be Democrats.
