And I usually tend to oppose to left-wing ideas.
I was as conservative as I tend to be, though I mostly see myself as middle-right on the spectrum, or "conservatism". My oppositions to the most poignant left wing ideas are mostly neutral/positive, since I don't see trouble with gay marriage or legalization of abortion though it is regularized decently, and the only trouble I have with marijuana is that I don't like it myself. The thing is that I tend to have communist/feminist/pro-pot left wing retarded extremists.

I live in a country where almost every leftist is a Maoist. Though I sympathize, I'm not a Hoxhaist. And I don't believe that 'Stalin did nothing wrong'.

My anti-revisionism comes from a disdain towards Trotskyist and Left-communist arrogance, a distrust for liberalism and anarchism (same difference imo), a dislike for the Soviet Union (they supported the dictator Marcos causing their Moscow-oriented puppet Party to disarm in face of repression), and a fetish for the totalitarian (I like Stalin the same reason Zizek has a picture of Stalin in his house). I'm also a nationalist, and I wholeheartingly agree with Stalin over the national question.
