       I don't see why we would. Can you elaborate?

       Well I was assuming since they hated White supremacy enough to
       side with us that would mean something, but I suppose not.

       "since they hated White supremacy enough to side with us"
       That's the latter group. Your earlier post was asking about:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/communism/msg16465/#msg16465
       [quote][quote]Perhaps not. If siding with us or siding with
       rightists were the only two options, some might side with us.
       Specifically, those who love Western civilization more than they
       hate "white" supremacy will side with rightists, whereas those
       who hate "white" supremacy more than they love Western
       civilization will side with us.[/quote]
       Could we expect the former group to have relatively more Aryan
       blood compared to the latter group?[/quote]

       My bad. I misspoke. I meant the latter group.  Do you thing they
       have relatively more Aryan blood compared to the former gorup?

       It is possible, but we should not worry too much about this for
       now.

       When I see videos of the violent insurrectionists on Jan 6
       calling anti-Trump Republicans "traitors", I am reminded of the
       violent proletarian Bolshevik untermensch, who similarly labeled
       people they didn't like "class traitors". The MAGACommunism
       movement is right in that these insurrectionists would be more
       sympathetic to Communism than leftism.

       In keeping with the previous points, I think we can now classify
       communism as a "center left" ideology (similar to European
       social democracy) instead of a "far left" ideology, since it is
       further to the right of even other False Left ideologies such as
       pure relativism.
       What do you think?

       This could be confusing, since centre-left usually refers to
       positions that attempt reform without upsetting existing
       structures, in contrast to communism which has from its outset
       advocated actively discarding old structures.
       It is also confusing to compare communism with relativism, since
       the former is a political position whereas the latter is a
       philosophical position.

       I agree with your points. But what is a good name for present
       day ideological False Leftism? Wokeism?

       "Wokeism?"
       No, we are trying to claim wokeness as a term for the True Left.
       This is why in so many of my posts I have been describing
       comments I like as "woke comments". "Woke" must never be used
       with a negative connotation.
