This is like when a Leftist claims that Leftism has a wide diversity of thought between Marxists, Marxist-Leninists, Socialists, Democratic Socialists, Fabian Socialists, Trotskyites, Stalinists, Communists, Maoists, Titoists, Internationalists, Corporatists, Syndicalists, State Socialists, Social Democrats, Libertarian Socialists, Anachro-Communists, Anachro-Primitivists, Queer Theorists, Anachro-Syndicalists,but absolutely not National Socialists or Fascists.
You think you are having significant philosophical differences, but you are not because every single statement is entirely built off of the same fundamental premise.
"If I add '-ist' or '-ism' to the name of a leader, it creates and entirely different philosophical system because I can rationalize and intellectualize it into being so."
Marxism and its derivatives are all just nihilism dressed up to look like something else.
No, Marxism and it's derivatives are just a philosophy of war itself.
Nihilism isn't even the issue. It's a kind of pessimistic nihilism which is just a weapon to control people with. The fundamental core of the ideology is the struggle for power itself.
Marxism is a pseudo-moral framework built on nihilism. It's not about war specifically but it does try to gain power through the incitement of conflict.
No, it's specifically about a philosophy of War.](https://www.reddit.com/r/kotakuinaction2/comments/cedauq/opinion_why_leftward_drift_happens_on_the_left/) Nihilism is just the mechanism of demoralization that is used for recruitment and revolution. The Communist & Marxist societies are never nihilistic, because they are no longer in a demoralization phase.
,,,the fruit is so low hanging how can i not?...
so by that logic i could add ism or ist to hitler and make a new ideology? i did nazi that coming wonder if they will bet it will be a gas regardless
Yes, absolutely. You could over-intellectualize a distinction between Hitlerism and National Socialism.
Anarcho-Libertarians also. More terms that have opposite meanings. Nothing like loving the heavy hands of the state when you name yourself as an anti-government freedom absolutist.
That person seems less like a Leftist, and more like confused.
