 Chauvinism - free-definition
In the United States, chauvinism as a perceived social problem was brought to the forefront of national politics by the feminist movement, and the use of male chauvinism as a synonym for anti-female sexism.
The word does not require a judgment that the chauvinist is right or wrong in his opinion, only that he is blind and unreasoning in coming to it, ignoring any facts which might temper his fervor.
Chauvinism is extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of a group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards a rival group.

 W. I. Lenin - AT THE UTTERMOST LIMIT
chauvinist member of the German Social-Democratic Party and an agent of German imperialism.
It is to the proletariat's advantage that history has started this preliminary purge of its movement on the eve of the socialist revolution, not during its course.
Parvus's Die Glocke is the organ of apostacy and grovelling flunkeyism in Germany.

 Comintern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was Lenin who now condemned reformist socialists as Social-Chauvinists (socialist in their words but chauvinist in their deeds) as well as much of the centre, which often opposed the war but refused to break party discipline and therefore voted war credits, as social-pacifists.
However, by 1910, divisions were appearing in the left of Social Democracy (as the Marxists who dominated the International described themselves), and left-wing thinkers such as Rosa Luxemburg and the Dutch theoretician Anton Pannekoek were becoming ever more critical of Kautsky.
Also of importance was the literary controversy over the publication of Eduard Bernstein 's Evolutionary Socialism, which espoused a reformist path to socialism and received powerful criticism from, among others, Karl Kautsky and the young Rosa Luxemburg.

 Arianna Online Forums - when will we ever learn?
The despicable betrayal of socialism by the majority of the official leaders of this proletariat in 1914-19, when “defence of country” was used as a social-chauvinist cloak to conceal the defence of the“right” of their “own” bourgeoisie to oppress colonies and fleece financially dependent countries, was certain to enhance this perfectly legitimate distrust.
the social chauvinists will, at every opportunity, push illusions of 'national unity' - wherein the working classes are supposed to buy into the conception that THEIR interests and the interests of those who exploit them (capitalists) are identical.
the social chauvinists will gladly turn a blind eye to their deaths as long as it fosters illusions of 'national unity' at home.

 Canadian politicians fan chauvinism
With chauvinist appeals, denunciations of "big government" and law-and-order demagogy, the big business parties are seeking to deflect popular anger over increasing economic insecurity and social inequality onto the poor, immigrants and other regions and ethnic-linguistic groups.
DURING the campaign for the June 2 federal election, all five major parties--the ruling Liberals, the Tories, Reform, the secessionist Bloc Quebecois and the social democratic New Democratic Party--have pledged to continue the "downsizing" of public services and social programs.
All have made balancing the federal budget by the year 2000 or earlier the cornerstone of their platforms--no matter that poverty and want have risen sharply during a so-called economic recovery.

 Open Letter to Boris Souvarine
In our official Party statements, in the Central Committee manifesto published November 1, 1914*, and in the resolutions adopted in March 1915** (both documents are reproduced in extenso in our pamphlet Socialism and War,*** which is known to Souvarine), we have always drawn a dividing line between the social-chauvinists and the "Centre".
Souvarine believes that those who consider "defence of the fatherland" to be incompatible with socialism are taking an "unpatriotic" view.
masses with the chauvinist leaders cause the greatest damage to the proletariat.

 HISTORICAL  CHAUVIN
Throughout the Nineteenth Century, French chauvinists called for the regeneration of the spirit that had electrified the Napoleonic armies.
If one were culturally astute, one would be politically correct (to equate the two), and, therefore, one would not be a chauvinist.
Ultimately, chauvinism is the fanatical attack of the true believer on the government, stirring to life a complacent and even "decadent" society through a leader who knows the process of religiofication to ignite a national virility.

 Reply of WIL to the RSL criticism of "Preparing for Power"
To the social chauvinists belong those who justify and idealise the governments and the bourgeois of one of the belligerent group of nations, as well as those who, like Kautsky, recognise the equal rights of the socialists of all belligerent nations to 'defend the Fatherland'.
Social chauvinism, being in practice a defence of the privileges, prerogatives, robberies and violence of 'one's own' (or any other) imperialist bourgeoisie, is a total betrayal of all socialist convictions and a violation of the decisions of the International Socialist Congress in Basle."
Instead of looking down with scorn and disgust at the "chauvinist" masses, the RSL leaders should try and learn something from the workers as well as attempt to be their "teacher".

 MIM Notes
His supposed weapon was too weak Buchanan said: "Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody."(3) This is not to mention Buchanan's other fascist social attributes including wanting to put a stop to immigration and not wanting to let homosexuals serve in his administration.
These chauvinists Amerikans believe they are so much more productive than Third World workers that they will do fine without trading with them.
Buchanan would come to power with capitalist and labor aristocracy backing and would adopt a more aggressive and chauvinist policy in order to bail out the industries and workers he represents.

 Guiding Metaphors and Configuring Choices (Part I)
With structural breakthroughs of this kind at both the molecular and the architectural levels, it may be asked why experiments with social organization are limited to hierarchies, networks and the simplest small group structures.
It is structured as a hollow sphere of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a series of hexagons and pentagons resembling the geodesic domes built by Buckminster Fuller -- hence the formal name of buckminsterfullerenes (otherwise known as "buckyballs").
As an illustration of the potential of such new structures, in chemistry at least, a third form of carbon was discovered in 1985.

 ★ Reviews of books about azerbaijan
Azerbaijani chauvinists, violent and racist as they are, denied political and cultural rights of Azerbaijan's Christian minorities and in 1987 spearheaded the policies of "ethnic cleansing," thus producing blueprints of violence lately put to work in the Balkans.
The Monastery in Amaras was last damaged by the Azerbaijani chauvinist bigots in 1992, during Nagorno Karabakh's bitter war for independence.
First built around 330 A.D. by St. Gregory the Illuminator, it has been repeatedly damaged and destroyed by countless invaders--such as the Arabs, the Persians, the Mongols and the Turks--only to be rebuilt again and again by the local population.

 Imperialism and the split in socialism -- VI Lenin
It was formed in 1912; during the world imperialist war it took a social-chauvinist stand, justifying the war led by the tsarist government and preaching nationalistic and chauvinistic ideas.
And having in our Party literature fully established, first, the imperialist character of our era and of the present war [1], and, second, the inseparable historical connection between social-chauvinism and opportunism, as well as the intrinsic similarity of their political ideology, we can and must proceed to analyse this fundamental question.
It is clear why imperialism is moribund capitalism, capitalism in transition to socialism: monopoly, which grows out of capitalism, is already dying capitalism, the beginning of its transition to socialism.

 Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": "The Growth of Science: Romantic and Technocratic Images" by Aant Elzinga
Within the radical environmentalist movement and amongst feminists, there appear similar critiques wherein science as social relations tends to be relativized—as a part of an historical apparatus evolved to dominate nature, or as part of a male chauvinist, sexist, racist institution of domination.
It is striking how this technocratic utopia in a sense makes more substantial in a later social context some of the ideas of Francis Bacon and his model of a House of Wisdom or learning as an institution with political import.
What I am concerned with then are two images of science: one which links scientific advance with social progress, on the assumption of a principle of progress through science; the other is the counter-image, which ties scientific and technological progress to social regress.

 War and Russian Social-Democracy
If there is anything that can hinder the revolutionary struggle of the Russia’s working class against tsarism, then that is the behaviour of the German and the Austrian Social-Democratic leaders, which the chauvinist press of Russia is continually holding up to us as an example.
Even assuming that German Social-Democracy was so weak that it was compelled to refrain from all revolutionary action, it should not have joined the chauvinist camp, or taken steps which gave the Italian socialists reason to say that the German Social-Democratic leaders were dishonouring the banner of the proletarian International.
The Bolshevik Party exposed the Socialist-Revolutionaries’ attempts to masquerade as socialists, conducted a determined struggle against the Socialist-Revolutionaries for influence over the peasantry, and showed how dangerous their tactic of individual terrorism was to the working-class movement.

 S/R 37: A Green Economy Cannot Be a Market Economy (Don Fitz)
Just as Greens participate in social struggles which may be unpopular in a white, male chauvinist society, development of a Green economic theory means that we must be willing to oppose dogmas of corporate ideology.
Green values of egalitarianism require an economy that distributes social wealth as evenly as possible.
A market economy is based on corporations, legal entities that own social wealth and compete with each other for profit.
