Leftists don't have to hate leftists. We could learn to celebrate each other.

Fuck you, pal!
i don't hate leftists, it's the libs who hate me.
That would make me deeply happy, and significantly increase our ability to accomplish any of the changes we'd like to see in the world

All leftists are my comrades!
Except for those damn Trostskyists!
I feel like purity testing has been less of a problem lately, due to the urgency of... pretty much everything.

Hates leftists
That shit sent me
Only note is Liberals should be labeled "thinks leftists and conservatives are the same thing"
Liberals should be labelled "Thinks they're the leftists and that conservatives are needed for good bipartisanship"
Liberals (vote blue not matter who dems) are the actual conservatives. The conservatives (republican party of today and its followers) are better labeled as reactionaries. Liberals are sitting on a further right shifting world and looking at it through horseshoe theory.
I'm using a definition of "conservative" to mean maintain the status quo. Which is literal in its definition and not really based in material actions of those that say they are "conservative". Tongue in cheek a bit i guess,
As a leftist I do not like guns. I guess that is the lie.
To me leftists are revolutionary. I'm curious to know how you're going to be part of a revolution without an actual threat to power.
I’m a leftist who doesn’t much care for guns but I’ll use one if I fucking have to.

There are reformist and pacifist leftists too (like democratic socialists, syndicalists, anarcho-pacifists), not that I agree with any of them completely.
Leftism at its simplest definition is just opposing social hierarchy (which right wing ideologies like capitalism, fascism, and monarchism promote) in favor of socialism (which can also include communism, anarchism, and syndicalism).
It's because leftism is so broad with differing methods that many leftists hate each other. If you narrow down the definition of leftist to only your own political beliefs, then there wouldn't be much leftists to hate.
Reformism is liberal, you won't be able to reform capitalists within the system they created and control.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered. Any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

I think we tell liberals and conservatives apart in the way that you'd tell two species in the same genus apart
Or honestly, two breeds of the same species these days
Conservatives and liberals should be one circle called liberals with a smaller circle inside called “conservatives: the most hated liberals”
Conservatives and liberals should be one circle called liberals with a smaller circle inside called “conservatives: the most hated liberals”
*gestures at “Leftists don’t bother telling conservatives and liberals apart.”*
You’re just proving the chart accurate.
They're right when it comes to politicians though. They both cater to billionaires and corporations, they both support bombing random ass countries, they both support sanctioning Cuba, etc. Not shaming anyone who votes for liberals, because they're less bad domestically, but even then they're constantly moving right, now throwing trans people under the bus and such.
In terms of ideology, both believe in capitalism and US hegemony first and foremost.
I'd argue liberal voters are more likely to be decent people, but their politicians aren't very different, and that's normally what we think when we talk about just how similar they are. Hell, even among liberal voters I find their support for the US military appalling.

I like leftists in general, even moderat ones are miles better than roghtwing morons. likes guns is the lie tho. Leftists might need guns to fight against nazis but its a necessity not enjoyment.
Some of us like guns. SRA members are very friendly and whether you want a place to learn the basics without MAGA hats around or you actually end up enjoying improving your skill we are here for you. Enjoying firearms is pretty fucking nerdy. The conservative firearms dudes are more interested in getting drunk and complaining about their wives while holding something that makes them feel safe. At least initially. Some of them end up enjoying it for the same reasons leftist do. Because they're nerds. You listen to two people talk about firearms for 5 minutes and anime nerds will sound normal by comparison. I think leftist nerds could really bring some conservative gun nerds left if there were more of us.
TDLR: there are those that are firearms nerds and there are those that like owning a gun because they are afraid of going outside. Both exist on the left and right. But the former is almost exclusively right wing.

Liberal meme detected 
Why tell things apart that are the same thing?
The meme suggest they are not, and to be fair they do have some differing points. But really only libs think it's some very important point to not lump conservatists with them for their support of capitalism, which is also the moment where socialists do usually lump them.

So leftist hate leftist? And they love guns?
I think the joke is all the inner fighting between different leftist ideas and sects.
Oh, you mean like the inner fighting between the right groups between different rightist ideas and sects?
