@healanewala AAP isn't right wing populist, they're just populist. They only offered some nationalist hot takes in recent years due to the nationalist wave that the fully right wing BJP spread throughout the country, as a way of getting more support. But their policy isn't particularly right wing, and they certainly weren't started with any right wing agenda.

@erikstephens34 And what is Green? Really, why couldn't they just show a damn legend? That leaves us having to accept their labels for the colors, rather than whoever actually made that map.

Not only is this video's understanding of the left poor, but your understanding is even worse than theirs. You've literally made a mistake that even the video itself took a moment to clarify...

So yet another channel uses the term 'postmodernist' (which seemingly EVERYONE outside academia gets wrong) to refer to wokeism (you also used the most stereotypical pictures imaginable to show each of the three leftist factions...). The two are not the same (the right just misuses the term, which this channel has gone along with), and in many ways wokeism is very UN-postmodernist. A rough rule for distinguishing them is to keep in mind that postmodernism QUESTIONS everything, while wokeism ASSERTS everything. Indeed postmodernism has oft been criticized (by actual experts) as possibly leading moral relativism or even nihilism, while wokeism is practically a cult that's highly morally charged and oft absolutist, religiously pushes for internal conformity and socially enforces proper behaviour.

You also pretended that race was the only lever that wokeism can use to advance its agenda. There's way more identities than just race, a few of which are already part of the woke package anyway (sex, gender, orientation, etc.), and more of which can be incorporated or invented. Would make sense in nationalist European states too, as identity politics is very much a right wing phenomenon too (typically revolving around religion or community), so people are already used to the tribalism inherent to it.
