Bruh what💀
Liberalism is not leftist, even if it’s progressivist.
@98Z4N8H1yr1Y
just because it doesn't critique capitalism doesn't mean it isn't left wing
@6WP5FSYRepublican 5mos5MO
Progressive liberalism has always been part of the left. It's simply part of the center left while capitalist abolition is part of the far left.

Excuse me – what rock have you been living under for the past 100+ years...?
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
A transparent one apparently because the Democratic Party isn’t even socialist. Joe Biden is a capitalist and just wants rich people to pay 25% taxes. The democrat party is also the Republican Party of the 1800s; the one that had lincoln, due to the party switch.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
The party switch is a gross oversimplification. For example, while the Republican Party did do some atrocious things under Lincoln, the Jacksonian Democrats violently defied state's rights under Andrew Jackson in the nullification crisis of 1832, supported direct mobocracy, which true republicans resolutely oppose, wanted to carry out an unconstitutional power in removing the Indians, which Republicans would be opposed to, supported inflation, which Republicans are opposed to. The Republican Party has always resolutely supported the Gold Standard, and usually been on the side of non-interference in foreign affairs. So I agree with you that the parties have evolved, but it's not a clear-cut switch, elements of both early version of the party have amalgamated into the two party system we see today.
real, i got 90% democrat but would never consider myself a democrat. socialist all the way democrats are just neutral republicans imo
