    As a Leftist there are a few types of leftists I hate

    • Fake Leftists: People who think Socialism is when “government does stuff” and they just want the government to do everything
    • Ignorant Leftists: People who blindly hate capitalism but make no real attempt to look into leftist theory
    • “Anti-imperalists”: People who support “anti-imperialism” by supporting the other empire. These people will blindly support Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, the Taliban, Assad’s Syria, HTS, and occasionally blatant terrorism.
    • Aesthetic “Leftists”: People who see leftism as nothing more than an aesthetic which they can use. They make no real attempt to understand leftism but rather then simply being ignorent they actively attempt to subvert the term. These people will say “leftism just means left of center” and use that to justify Capitalism, western imperialism, and other very non leftist ideals under the justification that “leftism has no hard definition” (it does).
