    I am not American but I think American PSL type leftists should learn from these fellows , specially their recent activism against US foreign policy in Ukraine and China . I agree they have very low level /primitive/none understanding of LGBT issues but I think none of the so called left parties can address the issues of inherent racism and LGBT problems promptly . I like how they agitate against the US foreign policy which is the main driver of imperialism and also the causes of many problems in US. I mean you have Cornel west but he thinks USSR was anti semitic , I have found very scanty people who have a coherent ideology in the western hemisphere . I mean what is this from him

    “Ronald Reagan was a freedom fighter in terms of supporting our Jewish bros & sis in the Soviet Union & opposing vicious forms of communism.”

      PSL is doing activism against imperialism. It’s just not talked about because the media likes that anti-war stuff is only coming from the right, and RAtWM can be used as evidence for horseshoe theory.

        Yeah but I haven’t seen them speaking against AOC or progressive democrats who pretend to be better than reps. May be I am wrong here but I feel leftists over there should be as aggressive as possible on the US foreign policy. Some CIA induced Mcfaul is saying oh Putin is Putler and then every mainstream left have to repeat that line. I mean Democracy Now brought a woman from India who represents 0.00001 percent Indians and she talked about how Putin and Modi are friends because they are both Nazis. And then on Twitter she repeated the holodomor lies and how Azov are brave people.

          PSL isn’t democracy now. They are actually trying to build a left anti-war movement. Meanwhile RAtWM is just fueling horseshoe theory and opportunism.

            I know PSL is good but it is also true that PSL doesn’t hold power in US Congress or in any government body. Your mainstream leftists like AOC and others are straight way sold to war lobby. They think Putin hijacked Trump’s campaign or think US is a benevolent force and sending weapons to Nazis. Their foreign policy is opening arms to ETIM, Tibetan slave owners etc. I mean even even if they claim they are progressives, their politics is just as regressive as it gets. I mean cornel West with that statement won’t get into our any commie party lol 😂 , naxals should have shot him the next day. What is RatWM btw?

              I agree with all that. All I’m saying Rage Against the War Machine isn’t doing any good (the thing with far right libertarians collaborating with patsocs. I think grayzone is involved).

      There’s nothing really, I would say, wrong with PSL fundamentally. If they’re doing actual activism rather than Internet shenanigans, then they’re already more advanced than a lot of leftists out there.
