      Precisely. If you are a lefty accusing those who advocate reason and universal liberalism of being conservative, please stop thinking you're helping. https://twitter.com/GRIMACHU/status/980774504296255489 …

      Because socialists are not liberal. And they never have been. Think of calling famous socialists like Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanoff (Lenin) and Adolf Hitler liberal. Not so much. Karl Marx, either. Trotsky? Nope. Mao Ze Dung? Unh uuh. Josef Stalin? Beria? Kruschev? Com'on, now.

      Huh? How does the fact that radicals are not liberals relate to my point that calling everyone who isn't a far-lefty an alt-righter does not help the left? There is the economically radical left, the identity-politics left, and the liberal left.

      The left can't be helped. There is no liberal left. The left is socialist. The right is capitalist. Are you a socialist or a liberal, because you can't be both?

      The socialists have little influence culturally on the left now. The intersectionals rule and their focus on identity rarely addresses economics because then they'd have to include white, working class men. I am a social democrat.

          The left breaks into radical, identitarian, libertarian & liberal tho not neatly.

          I disagree. Redistribution of wealth is never far under the radar for any leftist. Neither is class warfare. They like to act well-meaning and innocent, but they always revert to wanting to steal from the workers in the end.

          Oh yes. My support of strong welfare programs mostly supported by the highest earners is well-meaning. I support a minimally regulated capitalism because it enables people to make more money and their taxes can go to schools & hospitals &support for those unable to support selves

          I don't care a fig about their culture. I can ignore that for the useless noise that it is. Charity enforced out of the barrel of a gun is not just stealing. It's armed robbery. That's the "left" that I don't like.

          social Democrats supported WW1, Helped assassination of Rosa Luxemburg, split the German vote against Hitler... Well; if you’re versed enough to add ism to so many terms; you should at least own those social Democratic decisions.pic.twitter.com/JR31nx8qLT
