Are there any left wing patriots?

I think I'm one of the few left wing patriots in the Labour Party.

You mean a socialist who's a nationalist?

Odd concept, don't think it's been done before

True leftists cannot be patriotic; as Marx advocated for an international community with no borders and no such thing as a nation state ergo you cannot be proud of something that doesn't exist.

You are either not a proper socialist, or not patriotic.

what about Ernest Bevin

I said proper socialist, Marx would call him a bourgeois reactionary that prentends to support leftist ideals to perpetuate capitalism and neuter revolutionary activity.

Tony Benn, Billy Bragg.

Marxism is toxic. I cringe at the thought of a global monolithic culture of generic nothingness, no countries, no borders, no identity. I love diversity, different languages, cultures, countries etc. It makes the world a colourful and vibrant place. This is why I am a proud Nationalist.

Both champagne socialists, Benn was the son of an aristocrat and Bragg is a multimillionaire from his record deals, irrelevant, the revolution can only be led by a vanguard of proletarians.
