    There are regular liberals. Who are definately left to far left of center.

    Those aren’t liberals. You’re conflating what the word means with the incorrect usage of the billionaire-owned media.

    Here’s Phil Ochs accurately describing liberals from a Left point of view

    We’re just more neutral to the economic system and more into preserving human rights.

    That doesn’t make any sense in a capitalist world where a lot if not MOST human rights violations are allowed to go unpunished because of economic considerations. It’s just as bad as the “social liberal economic conservative” bullshit.

      It makes perfect sense when the main economic system isn’t changing anytime soon and that humans won’t just magically become not shitty if changed to another one

        Ah, I see. The “ignore the majority of the world’s injustice because it’s not easy to overcome” school of ethics. Never been an adherent of that particular dogma myself…

          Not saying ignore it I’m saying be realistic. I’m saying work with whats possible now. Communism is what comes after you’ve already solved the world’s problems
