Left-Wing Nationalism

"Not to be confused with National Socialism." Left-Wing Nationalism or Socialist Nationalism, shortened to LeftNat, is an economically left-wing, Nationalist, Statist and culturally neutral ideology which supports a Socialist economic system in combination with popular sovereignty, social equality and national self-determination, usually including anti-imperialist and national liberation movements, and supports both international solidarity and armed struggle. LeftNat often stands in opposition to right-wing nationalists, rejecting ethnic nationalism and instead opting for civic and/or cultural nationalism and patriotism. Due to LeftNat's nationalist stance, this causes him to butt heads with a lot of other leftists insisting nationalism isn't the "bourgeois concept" they say it is as that title would go to globalism instead.

Personality
LeftNat like his Father is a pretty patriotic individual, but because of his mother he is also embodies the stereotypes of an economic leftist. LeftNat is happy to debate with his fellow Leftists about stuff like economics but will later find himself in a debate with them over the nation with LeftNat arguing it's against the Left's own interests to support things like globalism which is pioneered by the rich capitalists.

Frenemies

 * [[File: Natcon.png]] National Conservatism - Based nationalist however is too conservative and capitalist.
 * [[File: Natlib.png]] National Libertarianism - Great you're a nationalist and all but how do you expect to preserve your nation and it's borders with a minimal state?
 * [[File: Nalib.png]] National Liberalism - We disagree on most stuff but enjoyed celebrating Brexit with you fellow nationalist.
 * [[File: Strasser.png]] Strasserism - Good economics but too far-right for my liking, would definitely prefer working with you than the [[File:Nazi.png]] National Socialism and [[File:Fash.png]] Fascism though.
 * [[File: Nazbol.png]] National Bolshevism - Same as the Strasserism just you go a bit far in terms of economics. Any chance I can join the GANG soon?
 * [[File: ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - Got the right idea economically just goes a bit too far, also drop the internationalism.
 * [[File: Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - Yeah you're pretty centrist but you're step to establishing socialism.
 * [[File: Patcon.png]] Paternalistic Conservatism - You're basically just [[File:Conserv.png]] Conservatism [[File:Con-t.png]] but with more welfare policies. Bearable and a much better alternative to regular conservatism.
 * [[File: Anfashf]] Anarcho-Fascism - What?

Enemies

 * [[File: Nazi.png]] National Socialism - You're not even a socialist and waaaaayyyy too far-right. I hate it when people confuse me with you just because I'm socialist and nationalist.
 * [[File: Fash.png]] Fascism - Just like the National Socialism you ruin the name nationalism and conflate it with your ultranationalism.
 * [[File: Soclib.png]] Social Liberalism - You're not even Leftist, stop pretending to be one.
 * [[File: Neoliberal-icon.png]] Neoliberalism - I don't know what's worse, whether it's the fact you're globalist or capitalist. I think what's ultimately worse is you're the status-quo.
