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, civically variable and culturally neutral ideology which supports a Socialist economy where the means of production are either directly owned by socialist communes or by a centralized proletarian state, in combination with monoculturalism, popular sovereignty, egalitarianism and strong rights for the workers, anti-imperialism and establishment of a nationalist worker's state, and supports both international solidarity and armed struggle. LeftNat believes that Socialism is great for his people and culture, and often rejects ethnic and/or racial nationalism, instead opting for civic and/or cultural nationalism and patriotism, although, there are some ethnic/racial left-wing nationalists. 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.
