"Do you think it's socialist to ban 'Fireman Sam' because he's too white and too male? Do you think it's socialist to go around offending the English language by demanding that people refer to a singular as a plural?"

Conservative Socialism (ConSoc), is an economically left-wing, culturally right-wing ideology inhabiting the left-half of the political compass. He supports a socialist economy where the means of production are either directly owned by the workers or by a worker's state, in combination with support for conservatism and traditional values. He believes a socialist society is the best way to maintain these values as capitalism breeds degeneracy and that social communitarianism cannot exist without economic collectivism. Most Conservative Socialists are in Eastern Europe.

Interpretations

Marxian Perspective

There are many different forms and interpretations of Conservative Socialism, which makes sense considering all the alternative ideas about its parents. Marx may have called Conservative Socialism to be "Bourgeoise Socialism" this is at odds with the Conservative Socialism representing the Old Left, as the old left supports traditional working class and calls for a socialist revolution while ignoring gay/women's/sexual liberation movements. Marx believed that the Bourgeoise Socialist was one who wanted all the benefits of a socialist revolution while remaining committed to social reform, with this definition most modern social democrats and liberal socialists would be bourgeoise socialists as they reject class conflict, revolution, violence while wanting to enjoy the benefits of socialism. Marx's definition of bourgeoise may have included figures such as Eduard Bernstein and Ferdinand Lassalle as they completely rejected revolution in favour of working with the establishment. Lassalle may have accepted the accusation of Conservative Socialism as he believed that it was an imperative to work with Conservative elites against liberal capitalists, which explains his support for Bismarck's State Socialism and the similarities between Lassalle's Gotha programme and Bismarck's social welfare reforms. This however is not how Bernstein and his reformist socialists would take being called bourgeoise or conservative socialists as they strongly support working class activism and empowerment but oppose vanguardism and violent revolution, showing the difference between Conservative Socialism and Democratic Socialism from a Marxist perspective.

Socially Conservative, Economically Socialist

This perspective holds that Conservative Socialism is the combination of conservative social policies, such as opposition to feminism, LGBT+ rights and multiculturalism while holding onto radical economic views for redistribution of wealth and nationalisation of economies. This can be seen within the old left current of leftist thought that emerged as a response to the new left in the 1960s.

Variants

Authoritarian Conservative Socialism

Authoritarian Conservative Socialism is a variant of conservative socialism that places an extreme emphasis on tradition and community in combination with socialist principles. It usually arises when an initially communist party becomes stuck in place, unable to move towards the final stage of a stateless, classless, moneyless society.

State Socialism

Main Article: Bismarckism

State Socialism as it was meant classically, refers to the social and economic policies of Otto von Bismarck as Bismarck was considered to be strongly right wing, originally sympathising more with the National Liberal Party but as Germany developed Bismarck moved further to the conservative right, by the time of Bismarck's retirement he was more associated with the Free Conservative and German Conservative Parties. However this did not change his economic views, Bismarck introduced the first ever universal healthcare scheme in the world, providing healthcare insurance to all workers funded by taxation, this unnerved the Elites like the Prussian Junker class who resented the increased taxes to pay for workers' services. Bismarck believed that the state had gained, justified through Burke's organic society, a role to play in ensuring security and stability for the lower classes in addition to providing protection from immediate harm. This shows how Bismarck was a Conservative but also a Socialist, Bismarck believed that as society changed and evolved new responsibilities and duties were created hence why the state did not have such a role to Burke in the 1790s prior to the industrial revolution and beginning of organised labour but by 1870 in Germany the state was needed to provide for workers in order to prevent a revolution as Burke had argued that the Ancien regime needed reform in 1790, Bismarck argued that Capitalism needed reform in 1870.

Old Left

The term "Old Left" is used to refer to Western left-wing movements up to the 1960s, which focused on economic populism. However, most Western adherents nowadays are socially progressive, while opposing what they see as "wokeness" and generally avoiding culture war issues. Old Left parties and movements can often have more nationally-minded policies such as more restrictive immigration, or lean more socially conservative on issues such as drug legalization and LGBT rights, or place less emphasis on such issues.

Blue Labor group adopted an ideology named guild socialism. PCF leaders were proponents of progressive conservatism, between the years of 1930 and 1960.

There are also some conservative socialist political parties, have governed the countries in which they are located. Free Peru is one of the best-known examples of them. CCM is ruling party of Tanzania, since the independence of country. Fidel Castro, the head of PCC, also supported cultural conservatism in the early periods when he came to power.

History

America

MAGA Communism is a American Marxist-Leninist tendency that believes the leadership of Communists in the MAGA movement. This is because MAGA is the only partisan anti-establishment movement, and thus the only Left-wing or communist movement in the US.[44] Other notably controversial opinions include that Socialist Patriotism should be applied to America, that Pol Pot was a Communist, that the economic base is already socialist, &ct.

It should be noted that while Patriotic Socialism has often been used as a label against MAGA Communists, it has been repudiated by the main thought leader Haz.[45]

The most prominent thought leaders of MAGA Communism include Haz, Jackson Hinkle, and Logo Daedalus.

Post-Soviet Countries

Communist Nostalgia

Communist Nostalgia represents movements or individuals that are nostalgic for the communist eras, especially Soviet Union (especially for the Stalin and Brezhnev eras), Yugoslavia, PR Bulgaria and East Germany. They are almost always anti-American, anti-NATO, anti-LGBT and anti-EU because they deviate from "old soviet values". Soviet nostalgic views are a common sight within the Eastern Slavic diaspora across the world, especially within Europe.

When it comes to Soviet Nostalgists, many of them are against nationalism including linguistic nationalism, preferring to speak Russian over the state language of the nation they reside in (if talking about Russians and/or Russophones outside of Russia, due to USSR having Russian language as official) and demonizing anti-communist and nationalist groups such as Forest Brothers, Ukrainian Insurgent Army and Solidarność, including claimed ties among the aforementioned nationalist movements with Nazism (Such as the 14th Waffen-SS Galician and the Latvian Legion of the Waffen-SS). As such, many Soviet nostalgists are Russophile, and/or pan-slavic. Unlike most Marxist-Leninists, Soviet Nostalgists are sometimes religious (usually Orthodox Christian) due to shared cultural values and relatively soft stance on the church of Brezhnev-era USSR.

It should be noted that some Soviet nostalgists, such as Lukashenko and Yanukovych are not socialist, as they're much closer to social authoritarianism economically but keeping the aesthetics and cultural values, usually while being allied with actual socialists.

Many socialist political parties in Eastern Europe, embracing the legacy of Soviet Union and acting with Old Left policies, support social conservatism. PSRM and PCRM in Moldova are culturally right political parties. CPRF in Russia, and to a lesser degree KKE in Greece, approves laws criticizing LGBT. BSP has some conservative socialist factions and KPU and CPB supports Russophilia as a formal policy. Smer, a left-wing nationalist political party in Slovakia, is also close to Old Left.

France

In France, Left Conservatism is a rather vague term that designates several personalities and organizations officially of the Left who are nevertheless often critical of modern Left Progressivism.

We can cite for example, Georges Kuzmanovic, a Frenchman of Serbian origin who began his political career by joining the Trotskyite organization Lutte Ouvrière. After several humanitarian operations in Mali and Rwanda, he joined the Left Party of Jean Luc Mélenchon in 2009 before joining La France Insoumise, the new party founded by Mélenchon. He then left this party to found his new party called République Souveraine because of disagreements with the leadership on issues such as his anti-immigration positions and the little importance he gives to struggles such as feminism or LGBTQ+ struggles. His party has a socialist, protectionist, Eurosceptic and Gaullist agenda and has tried to nominate Kuzmanovic for the 2022 election. This candidacy attempt was supported by Jacques Cheminades, the French representative of the Larouche Movement and the youtuber Tatiana Ventôse, also a former member of La France Insoumise. However, this candidacy did not succeed.

The French Communist Party has also been accused of Left-wing conservatism in the 2022 presidential election under the leadership of Fabien Roussel, who in addition to the party's traditional support to nuclear energy, has issued other statements in the media that put him at odds with large parts of the french Left, such pro-hunting, pro-meat consumption, pro-small business positions and support to the police. However while there are internally more conservative elements in it, the party and its platform remains vastly progressive.

The Socialist Party (Parti Socialiste) has been through an informal split since the 2012 election and mandate of François Hollande, initially between the pro-governments and the "frondeurs", the latter accusing the government of betraying its promises in favor of the status-quo and demanding the enactment of actual left-wing policies. This internal split continued through the 2017 election in the party's primaries, with the supporters of the Hollande government constituting themselves as a more conservative faction, and the frondeurs managing to have their candidate, Benoit Hamon, win over former prime minster Manuel Valls. Many supporters of the Hollande mandate refused to acknowledge this, and even before the election supported instead Emmanuel Macron's candidacy, Manuel Valls himself joining him. Following Macron's first election, most of those in the PS who had supported Hollande's presidency had left the party to join Macron's movement and government, many of them claiming that the new Left had changed too much. These having repudiated social-democracy to embrace neo-liberalism, they can hardly be described as conservative socialists. However, the split continued within the PS up until 2022, where former Hollande supporters who didn't leave the party (mostly party officials and executives), as well as some former-frondeurs and more neutral members kept forming this conservative faction which began to more publicly word its concern regarding cultural progressivism in the Left. Anne Hidalgo, the party's candidate during the 2022 presidentials, which was at the time ambiguous on its criticism of Hollande's legacy, notably said that she was against the "woke" Left, a term that had just started being imported from the US by the french Right. What remains of the PS is currently mostly dominated by the continuers of the frondeurs.

An issue where the french conservative left more often than not clashes with other parts of the french left is its view on Laicism. While in France the modern Left generally defends an inclusive vision of the "laïcité", often claimed to be closer to its original conception and summed up in the phrase "just the 1905 law, nothing but the 1905 law, all of the 1905 law", those in the Right who are in favor of laicism uphold it in a more culturally-centered way, especially against french muslims whose practices are deemed "incompatible with the laws of the Republic", such as wearing the islamic veil in public spaces. The conservative parts of the french Left thus often take the same approach as the Right on this matter, as when Hollande's prime minister Manuel Valls supported the ban of burkini from public beaches and pools. The think-tank "Printemps Républicain" has been created mainly to uphold this vision of Laicism. Political figures of the french Left like Jean-Luc Mélenchon began defending a similar position before gradually shifting to its more modern conception.

"Marianne" is a center-left journal which under the direction of essayist Natacha Polony has often been appealing the french conservative Left and criticizing the modern Left.

Spain

Frente Obrero (Worker Front in english) is a political party from Spain, this party was constituted on October 14, 2018 as a "Mass Front" within the PML (RC), over time it would have more representation in several provinces in Spain, in 2022 a congress was held to become a political party.

In their ideals, the party mainly defends socialist economic measures (although the same party calls itself "Workerist"), Spanish national sovereignty and its cultural identity, confronting illegal immigration, natalist ideas, opposing the West, Capitalism, Feminism and Postmodernism.

In a matter of elections, it has a councilor in a town in Castilla-La Mancha and obtained 46,530 votes in the general elections, being the second most voted party at the national level without representation.

Although the party's leader, Roberto Vaquero, is a communist, the Frente Obrero party has denied being communist.

Italy

Diego Fusaro (Turin, 15 June 1983) is an Italian essayist and commentator

Graduated from the Vittorio Alfieri classical high school in Turin, Fusaro obtained a degree in philosophy of history and subsequently a master's degree with a thesis on the history of modern philosophy on Karl Marx at the University of Turin. After obtaining a PhD from the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University of Milan in the philosophy of history, he was a type A fixed-term researcher in the history of philosophy at the same university from 2011 to 2016.

At the age of 16 he created a website on philosophy, Filosofico.net, which he still manages, and since 20 June 2015 he has edited a blog for Il Fatto Quotidiano. In March 2017 he founded the cultural association and magazine L'Interesse Nazionale, together with Giuseppe Azzinari and Ivan Rizzi. For a short time, shortly before its closure, he wrote for the weekly magazine Tempi. Since January 2018 he has been the owner of the Lampi del pensiero column on Affaritaliani.it and, since May of the same year, of the weekly column La ragion populista on Il Primato Nazionale, the official magazine of the neo-fascist CasaPound movement. He has a daily column called Flashes of daily thought on Radio Radio. For a certain period he collaborated with Radio Padania Libera. Since May 2022 he has been editing "Controvento" a column on the ByoBlu disinformation site

In 2019 he ran for mayor in the municipal elections of Gioia Tauro (Calabria) with the Southern Risorgimento list for Italy, obtaining 2.84% of the votes and reaching last place. In the same electoral round he was designated by the candidate for mayor of the 5 Star Movement of Foligno as councilor for culture in the event of his affirmation: the pentastellati obtain 11.59% of the votes and are excluded from the ballot.

On 14 September 2019, together with Francesco Toscano, he founded the sovereign and populist party Vox Italia. The following month, Senator Carlo Martelli joined Vox Italia, leading the party to have the first representative in Parliament, only to leave it in 2021 to join Italexit. The party participated in various regional and municipal elections, but never managed to get more by 0.5% of the vote.

On 2 August 2022, in disagreement with the party line, Diego Fusaro announces the interruption of his collaboration with Ancora Italia. The reasons given by Fusaro are many: among them, his own lack of recognition as an ideologist of Ancora Italia (initially envisaged by the party statute, then ignored and finally removed in the Naples 2022 congress), the lack of invitation to the Naples congress in summer of 2022, the line adopted in foreign policy (according to Fusaro "too Atlanticist" and too little pro-Chinese) and finally the electoral alliance with other formations headed by Marco Rizzo's Communist Party and Antonio Ingroia's Civil Action in part of the "sovereign and popular Italy" list in view of the general elections of 25 September 2022.

In his publications, Fusaro has dealt with Marx's thought from the point of view of German idealism, combining the critique of the capitalist system with elements drawn from the communitarian and sovereign tradition. He claims to follow in the footsteps of the Italian philosopher Costanzo Preve, of whom he considers himself a pupil, despite not having attended the professor's high school.

He supported the posting of posters by an anti-abortion and anti-LGBT rights organization linked to Forza Nuova, also declaring himself against the Zan bill against homotransphobia, ableism and sexism, which he defined as a tool to impose the “new erotic order”

He argues that transgenderism erected as a media model is based on sexual deregulation, on the demolition of all limits and all sovereignty linked to the sphere of nature and biology and that the career alias for transgender people, i.e. the possibility of using in the name election instead of the registry office in the universities would be a weapon to divide and distract the masses

He is one of the Italian followers of Aleksandr Gel'evič Dugin's Eurasianism, whom he met together with Gianluca Savoini, a far-right politician under investigation for international corruption by the Milan prosecutor's office. The doctrine of Eurasianism envisages the creation of Eurasia, a nation extended from Portugal to Russia, under Russian hegemony. In expressing his support for Russia, Fusaro spread the false news on his social profiles that the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelens'kyj would use cocaine

He declared himself against the decree-law n. 73 of 2017 relating to vaccination obligations, since the number of vaccinations made mandatory by the decree law, according to him, would be excessive and with the exclusive economic return of the pharmaceutical multinationals, although this statement has been denied by the data of the Ministry of Health on national pharmaceutical expenditure.

Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, he has supported positions according to which the preventive health measures adopted by the government contain elements of social control techniques

He participated in "no vax" demonstrations organized by the neo-fascist organization Forza Nuova, together with Alessandro Meluzzi, Povia, the conspiracy theorist archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, Carlo Taormina; in 2022 he participates in a meeting in support of the neo-fascists convicted of assaulting and devastating the national headquarters of the CGIL. In 2021 in a tweet he unintentionally demonstrates the effectiveness of vaccines against the spread of COVID

On his social profiles, Fusaro spread the false news according to which the Green Pass, or the document certifying the health and vaccination situation with respect to the COVID 19 virus and which authorizes travel, is automatically blocked if a citizen has unpaid taxes or fines pay.

Personality

ConSoc's personality is a combination of personality traits of other socialist and conservative ideologies. He is dedicated to fighting for the liberation of the working class in the face of capitalist oppression, however, he is conservative-minded and maintains a high respect for family values and traditional cultural institutions. He is generally a Devout Russian Orthodox Christian, who also believes in Liberation Theology and Sandinismo, He has a deep affinity for Russia and broader Eastern Europe and is deeply nostalgic for the Pre-1990s. He has mixed views on Gay Marriage but strongly opposes Gender Reassignment (Atleast until age 18), He also has mixed views on Abortion. He opposes what he sees as Western Decadents and CIA manipulation in which he is paranoid of the Congress for Cultural Freedom pushing Sex and Drugs on the Leftist movement and tends to prohibit Sex and Drugs in his meetings but although he generally dislikes sex and drugs he tends to be more sympathetic to addicts than conservative is, viewing them as victims of drugs.

He is happy to discuss the moral stagnation of society with his fellow conservative, yet frequently gets into heated arguments as soon as economics is brought up. He is highly critical of modern, more progressive left-wing movements, which he views as "infested with RadLibs (Radical Liberals)" and a betrayal of the fight for working-class liberation. ConSoc can sometimes be depicted in a manner similar to stereotypes of older Russians and Eastern Europeans nostalgic for the socialist era. When depicted alongside reactionary socialism, ConSoc is presented as the more moderate, down-to-earth and level-headed of the two.

  • Pink Capitalism - ALEX SOROS!
  • Progressivism - You are not a leftist. You will never be a leftist. I'm tired of you bloody wokes infecting society with your whining. At least you also like Palestine, though.

Notes

  1. Polcompball users often believe that the "Old Left" are those economically left and socially conservative, although one can be culturally centrist or even progressive.
  2. The ACP claims to be a re-foundation of the CPUSA.
  3. "Someone in one of my tweets basically asked me the following question. ‘‘Haz how could you say anarchism is fascist? Can you name any anarchist societies where a genocide occurred?’’ And I say that's an easy, easy question, uh, I can name, Nazi Germany, it was an anarchist society, and clearly committed a lot of genocides. He said ‘‘How were the Nazis anarchists?’’ And I say well... Absolutely! Hitler was an anarchist, uh, the Nazis were anarchist, and even Neo-Nazis and today’s anarchists come from the same sub-cultures, right? So it's the same fucking thing!" - Haz, ‘‘Infrared’’
  4. In addition to his support for Dengist China and Doi Moi Vietnam, Harpal Brar has been accused of selling fabrics made in sweatshops and is a landlord in West London.
  5. Dore keeps going back and fourth on Climate Change, at times showing scepticism and others supporting enviromentalism, He often claims that most environmentalists are hypocritical.
  6. While Dore claims to be a feminist he has been accused of sexual harassment by Ana Kasparian which he denies and has shown support (or at least sympathy) for Andrew Tate.
  7. Dore supports RFK over many common issues, but notably disagrees with him over Israel.
  8. Most Marxist feminists are generally supportive of trans people, which puts Friedrich at odds with the rest of the Marxist feminist movement.
  9. Galloway has traditionally gained most of his support from immigrant communities (Most notably British Muslims) and is married to an immigrant, though he has also engaged in anti-immigration rhetoric with regards to Brexit and opposing the SNP, as well as to gain favour from the ‘white working-class’.
  10. Galloway has shown support and/or indifference toward imperialist actions that in his view threaten Western interests (e.g. Russia’s war with Ukraine). Scottish nationalists have also accused him of supporting Anglo-British imperialism in Scotland, although this is disputed.
  11. Although not a Marxist-Leninist himself, Galloway has described the collapse of the Soviet Union as ‘the biggest catastrophe of my life’.
  12. Their logo is similar to this wiki’s design for Neoliberalism.
