It's not that it's so leftist that it's become fascist; actual honest-to-god leftism and fascism don't mix.

Inb4 dirtbags with "free things are good tho"-- I'm all for people getting help they need to stay alive and live with dignity. The problem is that "free stuff" by itself is not a political values system, and those who think it is are susceptible to fascist creep.

"Free stuff FOR ME" without thinking about anyone else isn't even inconsistent with capitalism

Honestly look there isn't any political tendency that isn't about "free stuff" (or, less judgmentally, "more stuff") for somebody If you think there isn't you've already accepted the false premise of conservatism ("Everything people have right now is EARNED")

The question is "More stuff for whom and at whose expense", and it's how exactly you answer that that distinguishes "left" from "right"
