    I wouldn’t describe Noam as left wing, he’s advocating for Ukraine’s unilateral surrender rn. He’s just Red Fascist.

      Oh dear, I was unaware of that.

      Oi…

      Still though, he was a pillar of the left wing, in the sense of left wing = not conservative, a literal seminal figure of it, for decades.

      If someone agrees with most left wing positions except one, are they left wing?

      I think you’re doing a No True Scotsman here. Just because Noam fell for the anti-Ukrainian propaganda doesn’t mean he’s not left wing.

        All of Noam’s left wing stances are just criticisms of states he disagrees with, it appears. He is in fact supporting right wingers from a different side of the planet.
