https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campism

Campism is the belief that the world is divided into large, competing political groups of countries ("camps") and that people with left-wing politics should support one camp over the other camps.[1] Unlike nationalists, campists do not support any countries for reasons such as ethnicity or national identity. Instead, campists support their camp for ideological reasons, because they believe their camp promotes their ideology, such as socialism or anti-imperialism.

TIL, thank you!

Campism is basically a pejorative like neoliberal, I don't know anyone who claims to be campist.

The wikipedia page is a pet article by some Youtuber named SocDoneLeft

"Neoliberal" is not just pejorative and not only do people self-identify as neoliberals, but it is a term used in a neutral way in plenty of contexts.

Still, good call-out about the author of the article - thanks!
