I think more people on this platform are using it correctly than many of us realize. I think there are many unironically anti-human-rights activists who want the USA to deteriorate further.
I also have never seen any modern system other than capitalism in practice, so by your definition leftists don't even exist.
Huh? Are you saying it’s impossible to live in capitalism and be opposed to it?
We're talking about what's leftism not what's possible. If you promote a system where more people suffer, such as forcefully dismantling capitalism, then you're not progressive.
Most people who claim to oppose capitalism cant even describe what it is.
So you think capitalism is the best possible system and there’s no point in trying something better?
I don’t think you’re a leftist then.
I think Capitalism is the only system ever implemented at large scales and that fighting it into something else is like trying to move a river by hand. Be better to just heavily regulate it in a stable democracy.
