Original Post:

I asked, concisely and simply, what was being hidden from us. Most of them just berated me, one user claimed the Syria conflict to which I provided a link to a recent UN Statement on which quite accurately reflected the conflict start to finish. Another user claimed that the recently declassified Nixon era documents about the Chilean revolution and coup, but I was able to find a 1973 archived Newspaper accusing the Nixon Admin of having a hand in it from Times Magazine meaning it was already a mainstream theory at the time.



Leftism typically includes groups who want to abolish existing politico-economic orders in favour of entirely different ones. The terms came from the French parliament in the 19th century when faced with the question of retaining monarchy (whose proponents sat on the right) or republicanism (sat on the left).
Liberals don’t really qualify as leftists because they are fine with maintaining capitalism and can be considered centre-left at best. The left would typically start at the so-called “democratic socialists” like the Bernie Sanders and Mamdani cadre.
