Leftist European nationalism, is that a thing?
Yes. And we need to confront it among and within us.
Fabian Lehr has a great episode (unfortunately in German) on how the EU project is used to project misguided hopes for a progressive future onto an antidemocratic, reactionary and imperialist EU.
"Leftist liberals who wave the EU-starred flag of Frontex murderers and proclaim "together against the right!" at the same time are clearly in a state of cognitive dissonance."
