Maybe I’ve been on lemmy too long. So confused on who liberals are anymore.
Liberalists believe in a secular ideology where all humans are equal but white people are the most equal.
it comes down to capitalism vs socialism.
progressive + capitalist = liberal
progressive + socialist = leftist
US politics is weird. Liberal in the rest of the world is more aligned to socialism than capitalism. Leftist is way more extreme.
a liberal in the united states is a centrist in the rest of the world.
a leftist in the united states is a liberal in the rest of the world.
the united states is MUCH more conservative that the rest of the world
Indeed. I think I need to find a less US dominated instance maybe.
Lemmy.ml is less US-dominated than other general instances, though you can find country-specific instances.
Well. That one makes sense. So I’m leftist….. prepares for hate
leftist is pretty vague still because others are leftist too but each other's mortal enemies like like anarchists and communists.
you have to study political theories to understand what they actually mean. most people calling themselves leftist in the united states are democrat-socialist because they don't understand what socialism is due to not reading any sort of political theory.
Not all of us anarchists have been successfully propagandized to hate communists 🤷♀️
who does this sort of propaganda?
Anyone to the right of anarchists and communists I guess. Find someone using the word "tankie" or "authoritarian" and you've probably found a live one.
that does next to nothing to narrow it down. lol
