      In their heart of hearts, how do hard-left activists *actually* feel about center-left technocrats?

      They hate us. Whereas they ignore actual conservatives as pagans, they hate moderates as heretics.

          There's a reason: "I have reached the regrettable conclusion that the great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice." - MLK

          It’s stupid. There should be no difference between the left and centrists either you are for fairness or not, that should be the main actually only divide Ugh

          it's less herecy and more picking up on something that the center-left does implicitly, which is disdain ordinary peoplehttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/23/opinion/international-world/centrists-democracy.html …

          Nothing new here. The closer we are -- family, school, team -- the harder we fight, the nastier the fight.

          In truth, they really do not care all that much about you. A lot of left activists are technocrats themselves. Just different ethics.

          alleged contrarians, moderates, and others have given permission structures to the racist violent right. be against socialism and say this version of the Rs is a party of racist autocracy. We know where the alt right stands, been hard to see where technocratic middle stands.

          For the record I’m not far left, lived in multiple autocratic, socialist, communist places to be against centralized rule.
