Is this the new Hasbara talking point being pushed by Israel PR? First that Obama speechwriter says it and now Hillary

You’re correct. They aren’t right wing. They are communists.

I haven’t figured out if I’m fully anarchist, a “left libertarian” who can accept a restrained state, or if I’m coming around to being an ML, tbh.

And I’m not sure if I care. I just want capitalism dismantled and fascism/conservativism opposed. And I don’t want a police state.

But, and this is gonna be hypocritical of me, I feel like the sectarianism always seems to be coming from online anarchist and progressive spaces. Like no don’t join our mass movement against capitalism if you, IDK, don’t dislike China enough? Doesn’t make sense to me.

What instances block .ml that I’d be upset to miss?

Liberalism has an actual definition. Neoliberalism is a subset of liberalism. Either way, neither position is socialist and both are capitalist. That’s the distinction. That’s always been the distinction. Leftist politics is distinctly anti capitalist.

To leftists, liberalism, even progressive liberalism, can never address the material concerns for workers, inequal accumulation, and capitalism’s contradictions because it cannot attack the central tenet of its ideology: the private ownership of land and resources. And most of the social stuff was being advocated by leftist groups in the west for years before they became popular enough for the mainstream, liberal parties to embrace.

I’m an American. Conflating liberalism with leftism is a media game that has successfully ensured the Overton window does not shift left. It reveals the mass political ignorance here. Of the policies you’ve listed, only H4A is arguably socialist.

You can understand the two party system and make decisions to support certain candidates/policies in an election without identifying as a liberal.

And that’s why I’m glad my main accounts are not on world, which has just been a different flavored, smaller Reddit since its inception.
