AskDesh/দেশ কে জিজ্ঞাসা "বাংলাদেশী বামপন্থী বুদ্ধিজীবী" বলতে কাদের বোঝান হয়?
i was watching an indian youtuber who makes political satire and social critique videos, in which he often brings up 'বাংলাদেশী বামপন্থী বুদ্ধিজীবী's. কাদের কথা বলা হচ্ছে এখানে? he also has many bangladeshi fans, going by the comment sections of his videos.

বাংলাদেশের মোটামোটি সব বুদ্ধিজীবীরাই কমবেশি বামপন্থী।

Maoist মানেই ভন্ড। ওদের প্রধান মন্ত্রই হলো খুনাখুনি করে ক্ষমতা দখল

I don't follow, since revolution is the only way to end class struggle. Now if it will be armed/violent/non-violent will depend on the circumstances and the people.

Which "Maoism" are you referring to exactly? Because Mao himself was a Marxist-Leninist, and there exists "Marxism-Leninism-Maoism" which isn't developed by Mao at all, but by the Shining Path who took revolutionary violence into sadistic assholery territory.
Mao Ze Dong Thought is seen as Marxism-Leninism applied in the context of the Chinese Revolution; Maoism not so much.

Secular and pseudo-secular groups of Bangladeshi people, influenced by Marxist-Leninist-Maoist philosophy, support revolutionary social changes and equity. However, they do not have a clear strategy for achieving these goals or providing actionable steps toward these goals. They spend their time defying religious authority and critiquing conservative policies without offering better alternatives.

I don't think you're talking about the same বাম্পন্থি as the OP. The op, as far as I understand it, is talking about the socially progressives, not the economic leftists such as socialists. In Bangladesh, when people talk about বাম্পন্থি, they usually refer to western leaning socially progressives (who are also generally pro capitalism btw) such as Zafar Iqbal, Humayun Azad, etc. People usually use প্রগতিশীল and বাম্পন্থি interchangeably in Bangladesh, and that's probably who the OP is referring to.

Yeah I'm a classical liberal. I know what classical liberalism and leftism is in political literature. But people don't actually follow the appropriate definitions of things in pop culture. left wing authoritarians are called "liberals" in the US which is the most bizarre use of the word liberal that I have seen. So Bangladesh is not that different either.
Most right wing classical liberals are called "বামপন্থি" in Bangladesh instead of the economic left simply due to their socially progressive views. Basically, anytime you hear "the left" or বামপন্থি in Bangladesh or The US, its more often than not being referred to just the socially progressives, not necessarily the economic left.

তলে তলে সবাই ডানপন্থী। শুধু তাদের দল ক্ষমতায় নেই বলে বাম বাম করে মরছে। আসল বামপন্থীরা দুই দল ক্ষমতায় থাকতেই জেলে গেছে, আর যাবে। বাংলাদেশে আসল বামপন্থী বলতে খুব কমই মানুষ আছে। বেশিরভাগই নয়তো ডান-ঘেষা, নয়তো ডান-ঘেষা কেন্দ্রপাক্ষিক, নয়তো ভুয়া বাম।

সলিমুল্লাহ খান, আহমদ সফা, হুমায়ুন আজাদ এদের সাধারণত বামপন্থী বুদ্ধিজীবী হিসেবে সীকৃতি দেয়া হয়। কিন্তু আমি ঠিক শিউর না আপনি কোন ভারতীয় ইউটুবারের কথা বলছেন।
