    Umm, can I simply call BS. Currently it’s magats that are siding with the fascists in this very moment, right? As in what makes you think that this is even remotely close to the current situation?

      And it’s liberals such as Pelosi, Hillary, Schumer, Obama, Biden, Clinton, etc. etc. who have stopped the leftists from having any sort of influence.

      The current situation arose because of all the previous situations.

      MAGA is fascist. Liberalism is centrist, between fascism and socialism. “Liberal” in the sense of left of center is a vernacular usage essentially completely limited to the US.

      Tell me you have no understanding of political analysis without telling me you have no understanding of political analysis.

      Liberals don’t really give a shit about economic policy they care about human rights. That is why liberals are more on thr side of leftists than fascists. Going full communist is not going to be immediately helpful. What they meant to say was neoliberals(rich people who lean left socially but profit from the status quo)

        Well that’s just absurd. Liberals have always cared about economic policy. That’s what liberals have been from their beginning. The liberal Revolution was the capitalist Revolution and vice versa. They’re inherently linked. What you are spouting here is a myth that liberals tell themselves and others to try to justify them continuing the capitalist system even though it goes against everything else they claim to believe, and which they will always favor over those supposedly beliefs.

            Liberalism has been linked to the ownership of private property since its inception. While it made some platitudes to social freedoms, they have not been the driving force.

            There’s a reason our freedoms have had to be protested and rioted to be gained from liberal governments.
