    While a bad viewpoint that’s not what social-chauvinism means and is in fact the opposite. Social-chauvinism is when you are pro-imperialist for your own country. This person is obviously not an imperialist and thus not a social-chauvinist, just a person with reactionary views

      For clarity, I’m stretching the useage of Chauvinism here. While you’re correct that Lenin is referring to imperialists dressing their imperialism in leftist garb, Chauvinism, in general, is any kind of belief in the superiority of one’s group over another.

      OP clearly thinks they’re better then the queers and our supposed bourgeois decadence.

      I think leftists can have a little word play, as a treat

      Yeah Lenin was specifically talking about parties in Europe that were supporting their respective country’s war efforts WW1 while also calling themselves socialists. Completely incoherent goofballs.
