Alt Left

There already exists a tendency on social media which could described as 'alt-left' which displays many of the features of the 'alt-right'. It isn't very positive.I posted this on facebookThe Alt. Right in the United States reply to criticism of their use of Nazi and Fascist imagery, Racist language and rapist misogyny by claiming that they are merely doing so ironically, in order to get a reaction and create anger amongst the 'SJW', that is, everyone with an ounce of human decency.Of course, this is simply bollocks. A frail and cowardly attempt to pretend that they aren't a bunch Racist, misogynist fascist bastards.  Unfortunately, it is also the case that a similar phenomenon has gained ground in Britain in recent years. But this time amongst people  (though I have only encountered (white)men, I have not the evidence to say that women and POC aren't amongst this trend) who are nominally on the left. They produce a wealth of memes and posts praising the old Eastern Bloc regimes, glorying in the repressive machines of these states; KGB, Stasi and Gulag. They take great enjoyment in baiting the various adherents of their opponents ( especially the Trotskyists). Most extend their devotion to dead political psychopaths to support for modern 'anti Imperialist' murderers like Putin and Assad. They claim that they are real communists. But what they are really is worshippers of dictatorship, admirers of mass murder, they are a faecal stain on the left.

The terms leftwimg or rightwings are irrelevamt and false

 The word Fascism and Nazism is coming back  to the newspapers of the left, but if we follow  their definition of Fascism, we can also conclude they have been supporting fascists and Nazis for many years, they have been worshipping and supporting dictators and criminals like the right wingers. In Latin America they have been supporting Fidel Castro for more than 50 years, and after his death they continue worshipping him. Documents of the Argentinean government has shown that the government of Cuba collaborated withthe  Military junta of Argentina and Videla. The division between the Maoists took place when the government of China gave their support to Augusto Pinochet, based on the so called theory of the three world elaborated by Mao Tse Tung

 There is a FB group called "Alt-Leftist Empire" which has over 10,000 members and calls itself a subset of liberals and leftists distinguishable from the "regressive left" – it is purportedly in favour of free speech ad opposed to Antifa and the Alt Right.  I tried to join the site to exchange ideas but it didnt allow me in.  My suspicions are that it is a front for Ancaps of various kinds

Many workers in the USA are willing to lose their Medical Benefits, ( Medicaid, Medicare ) Social Security, Unemployment Benefits, free education, Retirement Benefits, Disability Benefits, to Lose all their  Unions because they are considered as measures created by the leftists and the communists. Those capitalists or social democrat measures run by the state is considered as communism. Those are normal reforms that exist in a small capitalist  country like Costa Rica Many used the expression 'Big Government" without knowing that the real term is state capitalism, the same one that existed in the Soviet Union, like the New deal created during the government of RooseveltSome newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post are considered as  Communists newspapers.( Alt-Left )  La Jornada of Mexico and  Claridad of Puerto Rico  would be considered the Iskra of the Bolsheviks

The only genuine Socialist-Communist Party that exists in the USA is the World Socialist Party of the US and it is not part of the left and it is not Alt-Left, it is a companion party of the World Socialist Movement, and  it is an alternative to Capitalism
