Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

    There were many colonies, lol. There was also Settler-Colonialism. Read about US history some time.

      Yeah, and of the actual colonies America had, they were a tiny size/number compared to European ones. All of India, most of China, all of South America lol

        I never said European countries were not colonizers, all I stated was that the US is a genocidal settler-colonial state and you can only do whataboutisms.

          I said,

          Not really on a scale comparable to Europe, no.

          And I’m the one who said the US was genocidal, not you. Don’t steal my woke-points, win your own fair and square.

              I’m a progressive, not that the distinction matters to you. You see everyone right of Lenin as a conservative.

                Nah, you’re directly concerned with attacking leftists and redefining words. Any anti-leftist can be considered a reactionary, but that word might not make sense to you.

                  Being anti-leftist =/= being reactionary

                  I understand we define them differently, but do you fundamentally disagree with the spectrum of “Leftist (revolutionary) – Progressive – Conservative – Reactionary” ?

                    Yes, I fundamentally disagree with that.

                    Rejecting Socialism and the progression towards Worker Ownership is Reactionary behavior. You identify as a progressive, but you oppose all Socialism, and support Liberal Capitalism with robust social safety nets (unless you’ve pivoted).

                    You are therefore a reactionary.
