Not to be confused with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Social Nationalism


"If you remove the English Army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic, your efforts will be in vain. England will still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs"


Left-Wing Nationalism (LeftNat), Social Patriotism or Socialist Nationalism is an economically left-wing, culturally neutral and nationalist ideology that advocates for collective ownership of the means of production, in combination with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination anti-imperialism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination egalitarianism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination international solidarity, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination national self-determination and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination national sovereignty.

Variants

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anti-Colonial Nationalism

Anti-Colonial Nationalism is a form of left-wing nationalism that focuses on decolonization and anti-imperialism. Because of colonialism’s creation of state and country lines across ethnic, religious, linguistic and other historical boundaries, anti-colonial nationalism is largely related to land first. After independence, especially in countries with particularly diverse populations with historic enmity, there have been a series of smaller independence movements that are also defined by anti-colonialism.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Social Patriotism

Social Patriotism is a version of patriotism that combines elements of patriotism with a focus on social welfare and solidarity among citizens. It emphasizes the idea that a strong and cohesive society is essential for the well-being and success of a nation. It was first identified at the first outset of World War I when a majority of social democrats opted to support the war efforts of their respective governments and abandoned socialist internationalism and worker solidarity. Social patriots believe in promoting the interests of their citizens and nation first, contrary to modern mainstream social democrats that tend to support international cooperation and integration.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Socialist Patriotism

Socialist Patriotism is a form of patriotism advocated by Marxist-Leninist movements. Socialist patriotism promotes people living within Marxist-Leninist countries to adopt a "boundless love for the socialist homeland, a commitment to the revolutionary transformation of society and the cause of communism". Marxists and Marxist-Leninists claim that socialist patriotism is not connected with nationalism, and denounce nationalism as a bourgeois ideology developed under capitalism that pits the working classes of the world against each other. Socialist patriotism is commonly advocated directly alongside proletarian internationalism, with communist parties regarding the two concepts as compatible with each other.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Armenia Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Left-Wing Nationalists have played a crucial role in Armenian history. The first main Armenian Left-Wing Nationalist group was the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Armenian Revolutionary Federation also known as Dashnaks. It was founded by 3 Armenians in the Russian Empire (Stepan Zorian, Christapor Mikaelian, and Simon Zavarian) with the goal of gaining autonomy in Armenian areas of the Ottoman Empire through means of violent rebellion. They had adopted a program that included socialism and agrarian reform as well as freedom of speech, press, and religion. They enjoyed support from the Tsarist government of Russia and participated in many clashes with Azeri (then known as Caucasian Tatar) nationalists. They then blamed many of the anti-Armenian massacres committed by Azeris on the Tsarist government for refusing to take action to stop them. They organized Fedayi[Note 4] groups in which they would clash with Kurdish tribes over land. After the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Young Turks overthrew the Sultan, Dashnaks became a legal party and some Armenians got seats in parliment, but they didn't get the reforms they were hoping for and cut ties with the Young Turks in 1912. During the Armenian genocide in 1915, many leaders of Dashnaks were killed by the Ottoman military and many lead resistance against the genocide by the Ottomans, specifically in Van. After the genocide, many Dashnaks member vowed to take revenge by killing the perpetrators of the genocide as well as the perpetrators of the 1918 massacre of Armenians in Baku. These assassinations (now known as Operation Nemesis) took place between 1920 and 1922 and assassinated many major Turkish and Azerbaijani officials involved in the genocide and massacres. Some of the most notable assassinated include: Talaat Pasha (one of the 3 rulers of the Ottoman empire at the time of the genocide and considered to be an architect of it), Fatali Khan Khoyski (first prime minister of Azerbaijan), and Cemal Pasha (another one of the 3 rulers of the Ottoman empire at the time of the genocide and like Talaat is widely considered to be an architect of it along with Enver Pasha). Dashnaks held important government positions in the short lived First Republic of Armenia and fought to take Shushi from Azerbaijan. After the Soviets invaded Armenia and Azerbaijan, the ARF was banned and its leaders were exiled to primarily Lebanon where they participated in conflicts there. During World War 2, many exiled Dashnaks members decided to side with the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Nazis in the Armenian Legion because they promised an independent Armenia. In 1975, the 60 anniversary of the Armenian genocide, a group of Armenians in Beirut, Lebanon formed a group known as the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia or ASALA. Its ideology was based on a fusion of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Marxism–Leninism and Armenian nationalism, seeking to unite the Armenian SSR with Artsakh, Nakhichevan, and all of former western Armenia into a single Armenian state under the Armenian SSR. Most of their attacks were aimed at Turkish diplomats and their attacks resulted in the deaths of around 46 people. They developed ties with other leftist minority groups in Lebanon such as the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Kurdistan Workers' Party and the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. After an attack on [removed] airport near Paris in 1983, the group split between those who agreed with it and those who disagreed with it leading to 2 separate groups, ASALA-Militant lead by Hagop Hagopian and ASALA-Revolutionary Movement lead by Armenian-American Monte Melkonian. They started to slowly fall apart after this split and the last attack claim by ASALA was in 1997. Monte Melkonian went on to command the Artsakhi army in the First Nagorno-Karabakh war and became the national hero of Armenia after his death.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Euskadi Ta Askatasuna

The Basque Nationalist group Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (Basque Homeland and Liberty) or ETA, was originally started as a Basque student group known as Ekin founded in the 1950s. The group ETA itself was founded in 1959 as Aberri Ta Askatasuna or ATA but since in some Basque dialects ata means duck, they decided to change it to ETA. They were largely inspired by Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Marxism and Basque Nationalism as well as the Basque Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Independence Anarchist Federico Krutwig. They held their first assembly in Bayonne, France in 1962 and held later assemblies in later years in which they affirmed their Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anti-Capitalist positions. They started their attacks against the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Francoist government of Spain in 1968 when a police officer was shot dead trying to halt an ETA member. Their most famous attack, also known as Operación Ogro (Operation Ogre), was the assassination of then Spanish prime minister, Luis Carrero Blanco in which they blew up his car, launching him 20 feet into the air, giving him the nickname "Spain's First Astronaut" in Spain and the Basque Country. This assassination is considered an important factor in the Spanish transition to democracy, since they had killed Franco's main successor. After the death of Franco and the Spanish transition to democracy, the group had lost much of the support it previously had. The Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination French government, which had previously left them alone due to Franco's large human rights abuses against Basques, no longer turned a blind eye to them. They signed a permanent ceasefire in 2011, destroyed their weapons in 2017, and dissolved entirely in 2018.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination India

The Ghadar Movement established on July 15, 1913 by expatriate Indians in Astoria, Oregon, was a part of the larger Indian independence movement against British rule. During World War I, some Ghadar party members returned to Punjab to instigate armed revolution for Indian Independence. They smuggled arms into India and initiated the Ghadar Mutiny which resulted in the execution of 42 mutineers, following the Lahore Conspiracy Case trial. Ghadarites persisted covert anti-colonial efforts with the support of Germany and Ottoman Turkey, known as the Hindu–German Conspiracy. After the war ended, the party in the United States fractured into a Communist and an Indian Socialist faction. The party formally dissolved in 1948. Although its attempts at overthrowing the British Raj were unsuccessful, the insurrectionary ideals of the Ghadar Party influenced the individuals of the Indian Independence Movement which were at opposition to Gandhian nonviolence.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Ireland

Irish nationalism has been left-wing since its mainstream inception. Early nationalists during the 19th century such as the United Irishmen in the 1790s, Young Irelanders in the 1840s, Fenian Brotherhood in the 1880s, as well as Sinn Féin, and Fianna Fáil in the 1920s all styled themselves in various ways after French left-wing radicalism and republicanism. This combination of nationalism with left-wing positions was possible as the nation state they sought was envisaged against the backdrop of the more socially conservative and pluri-national state of the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination United Kingdom.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Peruanismo

Peruanismo (Peruvianism) is a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination left-wing ideology originally from Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Peru, based on the thought of former Peruvian president Juan Velasco Alvarado (1910-1977), during the first phase (1968-1975) of the military dictatorship called "Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces" (1968-1980). This ideology arises with the October 3rd 1968 coup d'etat in Peru, ruling until August 29 1975, when another coup was done making Francisco Morales Bermúdez the de facto Peruvian president.

It believes in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination a political-economic system which would not be Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination capitalist neither Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination communist, while often accused of de facto being pro-Soviet and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination socialist-leaning; it's developmentalist and highly nationalist, with a strong state control over property and the creation of self-managed socialist cooperatives. Culturally, it promotes Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Peruvian culture even sometimes rejecting western culture. It's authoritarian and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination militaristic, rejecting both armed revolutions and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination multi-party elections; while it rejected political parties as a ruling method, de facto it established a one-party state with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination SINAMOS (Sistema Nacional de Apoyo a la Movilización Social, "National System of Support for Social Mobilisation" in English) being de facto ruling party (while it was government agency rather than a proper political party). In foreign policy, it was neutral in the Cold War (while again de facto being somewhat pro-Soviet in foreign policy), and it supported other anti-imperialist movements in Latin America (like Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Allende's Chile, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Torrijos' Panama, etc)

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Scotland Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

The Scottish independence movement is mainly left-wing and is spearheaded by the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Scottish National Party, a party that has been centre-left since the 1970s. There are other political parties from the political left in favour of Scottish independence, namely the Scottish Greens, the Scottish Socialist Party and Solidarity. As well as the Alba Party which can be described as centre right on social issues but centre left on economic issues led by former first minister Alex Salmond over accusations from SNP over sexual abuse as well as the party's stance on transgenderism.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Scottish National Party

The Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Scottish National Party was created in 1934 as a merger between the Scottish and National Parties and by the Second World War was swiftly embroiled in controversy after prominent members supported collaborating with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Nazi Germany in order to secure Scottish independence from England. However these members were removed from the party or changed their views by the end of the war, but it wasn't until the 1960s that SNP adopted Scottish independence as their official platform before then the party was badly split over Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination devolution vs Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination independence. It also would not be until the 1980s that SNP adopted social democratic economics under the leadership of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination William "Billy" Wolfe. The party still has a very large socially conservative and even fiscally conservative wing as seen by the unsuccessful but powerful campaigns of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Kate Forbes and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Ash Regan in 2023 after the resignation of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Nicola Sturgeon however the socially and economically progressive wing of SNP is more powerful than the conservative wings with the election of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Humza Yousaf over both women.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Scottish Greens

The Scottish Greens became their own party, though closely linked, from the Green Party of the United Kingdom in 1990 when the Green party split itself into 3 different party for Northern Ireland, England and Wales, and Scotland. The Scottish Greens are the second largest nationalist party in Scotland after the SNP they have been in coalition with the SNP since 2021. They have a near identical policy to the progressive wing of SNP on economic and social matters but differ due to their focus on environmental affairs such as the Marine Protection Act which drew controversy among island communities due to its stringent regulations against small fishermen. As well as opposition to an independent Scotland joining NATO and opposing the SNP's plans of expanding two major motorways in Scotland.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Alba Party

The Alba Party was formed after Alex Salmond resigned from SNP over allegations of sexual assault and the subsequent court case acquitting him of any crime. Salmond would then accuse Sturgeon's inner circle of plotting against him and criticised their approach to Scottish independence due to their support over transgender rights and focusing on more economic issues rather than independence, in his words, Salmond wishes to place full importance on Scottish independence and let economics and social policies take a backseat as well as believing that gender identification laws will harm women's rights and thus must not be implemented.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Scottish Socialist Party

The Scottish Socialist Party is the smallest left wing Scottish nationalist party, it was formed after a decision to transform the socialist pressure group "Scottish Socialist Alliance" into a political party to attempt to rival Labour and SNP. They had their best to date, showing at the election of 2003 in Scotland when they won six seats however this was not repeated and all six seats were lost by the 2007 election. The Scottish Socialist Party has a broad manifesto detailing policies and pledges to further democratise Scotland and reverse any cuts to public spending and place utilities and public services entirely under government control while achieving independence from the United Kingdom.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Solidarity - Scotland's Socialist Movement

Solidarity was founded as a splinter group from the Scottish Socialist party in 2006 by Tommy Sheridan (the founder of SSP) while a majority of members of SSP (especially in Shetland) voted to remain in the SSP a not insignificant minority defected to this new party which was endorsed by various Trotskyist groups. However due to poor electoral performance the party merged entirely with Alba in 2021.

Personality

LeftNat is a nationalist like his father and a socialist like his mother. LeftNat is happy to debate with his fellow Leftists about economics but he will later find himself in debates with them over the nation as LeftNat argues it is against the Left's own interests to support things like globalism which is pioneered by the bourgeoisie.
