In Europe we’re not scared that much by USA imperialism, of course USA and Israel imperialism are pushing idiots like Robinson in the UK and so on, but so far they don’t have so much power. On the other hand there’s very big threat, Russian imperialism. We can critique what USA, Israel, Russia, China and also France and European countries doing around the world, but in the end we know what’s the situation.
What this have to do with EU? Nothing. EU is very good for post east block countries and we gain a lot. But this have nothing to do with current situation.
Of your living in America, Russia is probably the last threat, on the other hand USA is the main aggressor. So it’s complete different perspective.
Then you have Asia, Africa and do on, and the situation in different.
Hearing the word “reactionary” from a self-proclaimed leftist is a red flag, because it’s used the same way right-wingers use “woke”. Basically most can’t define it without looking it up, or explain how it applies to what they’re critiquing.
You’re using “reactionary” the same way right wingers use “woke”, but you can’t admit that. But you also can’t provide a definition, because then the label becomes testable.
Someone who opposes either an established socialist revolution or is actively defending the capitalist system (e.g. through institutionalized violence, legislation or direct violence through military actions etc. etc.)
Does defending a capitalist system through legislation refer to all legislation aimed to defend the system, e.g. ban on firearms, or just legislation that singles out socialist movements?
I’m assuming institutionalized violence refers to extralegal violence and/or bias in how the law is applied, by disproportionately targeting socialist groups, while turning a blind eye to other groups?
I’m as far as possible from nationalism.
Perspective depends on region where you live.

I’m not even from the USA lol, literally from Europe.
The EU is a union of financial capital and a bastion of it’s own reactionary neo-colonialism and imperialism…
Also you don’t sound like a socialist TBH

Oh my good lord… where the fuck do you liberals get this kind of garbage from? PragerU?
Actually based on simple observation, like the fact that I’m seemingly the only one here who has defined “reactionary”.
And since when do you get to “define” terms that you obviously don’t understand?
I’ve yet to see any evidence that you know what a reactionary is.
Read carefully, shitlib… try to keep up.

It’s common knowledge for every socialist TBH
A reactionary is somebody who wants to restore a previous status quo. Which us not something the EU is trying to do.
In the socialist/Marxist context it’s used differently just FYI
