      You guys ever think you’re being coaxed by the rich to create all these dividing groups. I sure do.

          Why don’t you think that? Wouldn’t it make sense that convincing groups to decimate and alienate themselves from the main body would benefit them politically? Or is this just a case of the left going off of vibes hopes and dreams

            I don’t think the rich are creating communist orgs that accurately explain the problems today just to divide liberals from the left, considering liberalism by nature already supports the system the capitalists profit off of. If anything, your suggestion is going off of vibes, hopes, and dreams.

              I didn’t say they were creating them. I am saying they’re targeting groups with more passion than brains

                The rich do manipulate liberals into thinking they can get meaningful change through electoralism, but I don’t see what that has to do with leftists.

                  Wow incredible. It’s like speaking to a trump supporter. Weird how your opinion parallels theirs. It’s almost like it’s coming from the same place

                    This is just lazy rhetoric equating me to people we both don’t like. Why is it that you claim my opinion is similar to theirs? They voted for their guy, and he’s in office, no? Seems they think electoralism does work.

            Dude do you even know what liberal means?

            Liberalism is an ideology founded in a few core principles. Capitalism and the right to own property, the power of the government originating from the masses rather than god, and inalienable rights for its citizens.

            You guys are the ones redefining old words cause you don’t like the idea of not being considered leftist anymore. The overton window has shifted since the 1700s, yall are centrists now.

      Liberalism has been highjacked by conservatism and is actually a left leaning ideology

      ‘In most countries, classical liberalism is thought of as a right-wing ideology, but when classical liberal ideas made their debut, they were thought of as leftist.’
