Pseudo-left
Pseudo-left is a term used by certain socialist groups to refer to other socialist group that embrace identity politics. This is because it is claimed that the groups embracing identity politics have strayed from the roots of socialism.
The World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) explicitly rejects identity politics, calling it anti-Marxist.[1] The WSWS refers to socialist groups that embrace identity politics, such as RedFlag, as pseudo-left.
The WSWS describes itself as:
The WSWS is the online publication of the world Trotskyist movement, the International Committee of the Fourth International, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world. It launched publication in February 1998, and has been publishing continuously for the past 23 years.
This is indicative of an internal conflict inside the left over identity politics.
