What can i say🤷

I guess so, if there were to be a socialist revolution right now, I'd probably be in support, but it doesn't mean I'd think it was necessary. I'm a progressive and i don't necessarily oppose radical overhaul, i just think reform is satisfactory.

If you keep up this ultra-left purism, we'll never build broad coalitions. If the only acceptable leftists are those who fit a rigid ideological mold, then the left will always remain politically weak and fractured while the right consolidates power. Politics is about power, not being correct! You sound like a Bolshevik.

Have fun with your circlejerk.

This stuff again about "true-left" and what not. Framing all liberals as part of the problem ignores the bigger picture. I agree that liberals have often been weak in confronting fascism, and some have even enabled it, but they’re not monolithic. Many liberal voters are just politically disengaged or confused about what’s happening. If you just write them off as enemies, you're pushing them closer to reactionaries rather than pulling them toward the left. Anybody that opposes "right-wingism" is good enough of a leftist to me. The real question is how do we win them over instead of letting the right absorb them?

"progressive" liberals are people who are moved by injustice more than by defending private property.

I completely agree with your categorization of progressive liberals which is why i said the progressive movement doesn't strike me as caring too much about private property. Except if it means more people gain rights like you said.

This is a myopic analysis of why the fascists are in power. The left as a whole is responsible for pushing the fascists to power because of their inability to settle on a common agenda. Some leftists are more concerned with social justice, some with the worries of the working class and some with capitalism entirely.

This blaming of one particular ideological group for why the right were able to usurp power is part of the problem. Looking for who to blame instead of looking for a solution that all leftists can agree on.

Note: When i refer to the left, I'm talking about liberals, progressives, social democrats and the far left ideologies.

How are liberals rewriting history if i may ask?

Nope

Progressives never struck me as sharing the spirit of change with socialism. The progressive movement always felt - to me - an attempt at drawing more attention to social issues. In other words, the core of the progressive movement is based on social issues.

I died laughing in class😂

Based off of current goings-on, this is factual. Constant internal battles about who's the true leftist while ignoring the real enemy
