Yea I'm not going to press you any further, I'll edit it out of my comments. Yes, I'm a Statesian.

Its cool, don't worry about it if people know a lot about history they'll probably be able to guess from the context and most intelligence agencies already know who I am if they wanted to come for me they could. I just don't need to make it explicit ๐Ÿ˜€

Ah I figured you were american, don't take this the wrong way but I feel like you guys often treat European leftism more like an intellectual exercise than what it actually was which was a mass political movement that touched millions of peoples lives in different ways. Millions of people lost their lives families were torn apart whole countries were dissolved or they gained their independence. I don't think the United States has ever really experienced anything like it since the civil war. The twentieth century is moving further and further away but for lots of people the political systems it created and ideological conflicts had very real effects on the people who experienced them.

Believe me, I'm not a Eurocomm, I'm very aware of the lacking Statesian left and the weakening of the movement in Europe.
