At this point the critiques of Keith Woods that I see do not even make sense anymore. I thought he was supposed to be a Third Worldist anti-Atlanticist Duginist who wants to destroy NATO and Western civilisation. Now you seem to be suggesting that he is in the same camp as jingoistic, system-loving, pro-NATO leftists like Vaush etc. Which one is it? Both can't be true.

I didn't say he was any of those. It's just that people like Woods and Spencer are way too sympathetic to leftists and often try to excuse their behavior or they're sympathetic to marxism in general. Just because the main enemy today is capitalism doesn't mean that marxists are good guys to be loved.

I think Keith is this way due to his IRA symapthies. It's unfortunate that the face of Irish nationalism is occupied by a marxist terrorist organization.

I can't comment on Spencer but I just don't see how Woods is sympathetic to Marxism or to leftists. Woods has offered some very in-depth, elaborate critiques of both Marxism as an intellectual movement and the shapeless, practical woke leftism of today. I think that there are some problems with certain views he holds about politics and morality in the context of imperialism, colonialism, nationalism etc which could possibly be attributed to his Irish nationalist background, but that's a very different thing from having a pro-leftist bias.
