leftist : anti-capitalism :: liberal : pro-capitalism

Why is this so hard for some radlibs to understand? I think it is all the propaganda they passively consume.

I'll say it again, in the United States the term "liberal" is used to refer to liberal social ideas NOT liberal economic ideas. To the average US citizen left and liberal are synonyms. This doesn't mean your definition isn't correct for academics and the entire rest of the world. But this meme, and this left vs liberal argument for this post, are US based.

We know that, which is why we’re trying to deprogram Americans from the Orwellian newspeak they’ve been mistaught so they can develop class consciousness.

If someone said they were leftist then I would very much hope they were pro EU and pro Ukraine

It’s the far right that is against those

The right side is just liberalism. This is what happens when the left and liberal are melded together in everyday western society/language and the water is muddied. It’s intended. It confuses people, overwhelms them, and leads them to use the apparatus that the ruling class has placed in front of us to circumvent true working class interests and movements. It’s why liberals scoff at potential allies (leftists), instead of seeing the truth: a unified working class.

This makes me sad, I thought we mostly agreed that what FDR did is a good way forward.
