In reply to the discussion: This is Leftist [View all]BainsBane
(57,293 posts)after insisting no one held such a belief. Ayn Rand isn't to the left. Perhaps you ought to follow the links and read some Marx? This country club version of leftism is nauseating and spits in the face of leftist values. Of course, I do know some here insist left is synonymous with the rights of white men of means. Concern about class exploitation, people of color, women, LGBT, and anyone but men of means is defined as Third Way by those determined to fortify their own privilege and write the majority of the human race out of popular discourse.
The truth is that isolationism is neither left nor right. Anyone with any knowledge of history knows that. Hitler's supporters in the UK and US were isolationists. That didn't make them leftist. The Communist Party cooperated with capitalist states in order to defeat fascism. There is no rational view of the political spectrum that puts Nazi collaborators and apologists to the left of the CP. Hitler's supporters were right-wingers, just as Paul's ratfuckers are.
