    It’s important to note that liberalism is fundamentally a right wing ideology which consists of two main parts. First you have political liberalism which focuses on all the wholesome ideas we hear about such as individual freedoms and democracy. But the second part is economic liberalism which deals with free markets, private property, and wealth accumulation. These two aspects form a contradiction. Political liberalism purports to support everyone’s freedom, while economic liberalism enshrines private property rights as sacred in laws and constitutions, effectively removing them from political debate.

    As a result, liberalism inevitably justifies the use of state violence to safeguard property rights, over supporting ordinary people, which directly contradicts the promises of fairness and equality. Private property being seen as a key part of individual freedom under liberalism provides the foundational justification for the rich to keep their wealth while ignoring the needs of everyone else. Thus, all the talk of freedom and democracy ends up being nothing more than a fig leaf to provide cover for justifying capitalist relations.

      This is exactly what libs were saying when socialists first started talking about the need to end capitalism, or when their own voters were demanding liberals stop supporting Palestinian genocide. You guys have an amazing ability to be faced with a blunt reality that contradicts your programming, smugly dismiss that reality out of hand (especially if it’s said by a non-american, nationalists that you are) eat shit down the line as a consequence of your arrogance, and then slink back later and pretend you always held the correct view and we’re all allies here, why the leftist hostility? This cycle plays out on every single issue.

      I can smell in your words that you’re one of the people who one day will have always been against this.

        Says the guy who just equated Mamdani and AOC to literal war criminals Obama and Harris. Delusional.

          You know AOC voted to send “defensive” iron dome rockets to Israel, right? That’s like sending flak shells to Nazi Germany so they could shoot down the allied bombers trying to stop the engine of the holocaust. Of course that makes you complicit in their war crimes, you enabled them!

            That’s why her voting record on Palestine is a B instead of an A, and that’s a rightful criticism many of her allies made immediately. And why she backtracked on that position. There’s a difference between critisizing allies and casting them aside as if they’re no different than the actual Zionists in power. But the people serious about change are the ones organizing their communities to acquire power. Online posters never have and never will any any motion when it comes to creating real change.

              You people couldn’t acquire power if power walked into your house and nestled itself in your asscrack for warmth. The results of hundreds of years of history are in, and they say it’s time for reformists to pack it in and leave the organizing to the political adults in the room.
