      Liberals aren’t on the left, it only seems that way to you because you percieve yourself as left yet support the status quo.

          Holy moly, lmao. No, I am not a sockpuppet, nor am I an authoritarian. What in the world scratched you so much?

          Also, all Socialism is democratic, do you mean you’re a reformist, or support Scandinavian style Social Democracy?

              Liberal is defined as being a supporter of liberalism.

              Liberalism is the dominant ideology in much of the world, which believes in Private Property Rights and thus supports the Capitalist Status Quo.

              Liberalism was considered “left” during the French Revolution, against the Monarchy, but is now a right wing ideology as opposed to Socialism.

              It doesn’t take being a “tankie” to know what Liberalism is, lmao. Definitely not a sockpuppet and certainly not susceptible to misinformation, you just generally are ill-informed and violently upset.

                  You defined Liberalism as simply “being on the left.” This is untrue, it’s a Capitalist ideology and therefore at minimum on the right. Liberalism may claim to be in favor of free speech and equality, but the fact that wealthy people control speech and inherently create class society proves this hollow.

                  I do disagree with Capitalism, I am a Socialist. Liberalism should be attacked. Leftism will become the majority as Capitalism continues to decline worldwide and inequality continues to skyrocket, individuals being “nicer” about spreading theory will not speed this process up. That belief is Utopianism.
