Patriotic socialism: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:39, 2 August 2022

"Patriotic Socialists" often maintain far-right ideology, such as Ultranationalism, Chauvinism, Climate Change Denial, and Genocide trivialization.

Patriotic socialism (abbreviated Patsoc) is an opportunist and revisionist movement that advocates for patriotism within the imperial core. It is distinct from patriotism within anti-imperialist, colonized, and socialist countries. Being a trend that is very particular to the United States of America, "Patriotic Socialists" often have ultranationalist, reactionary, and chauvinistic tendencies.

The people who are commonly associated with being "Patriotic Socialists" include Haz, Caleb Maupin, and Jackson Hinkle.^[1] ^[2] ^[3]
