    liberals are just more mild versions of communists

    I am begging you, please read a book, any book by anyone on the left written in the last 180 years.

    Liberals support capitalism, communists and everyone else on the left seek to abolish it.

      Don’t conflate liberals and the right. Liberals don’t actively try to fuck over workers like rightists are. Further, it doesn’t matter what liberals were 100 years ago, do you think Biden is as bad as Trump?

        Liberalism only appears on the left if your political spectrum extends from “capitalism, but the poor get some scraps” to “capitalism, but the poor don’t get scraps”.

        Liberals literally do fuck over the workers, the very structure they maintain, capitalism, is the exploitation of workers.

          By voting for socialist leaders who won’t get elected, you allow the right to get elected and thereby deny them those scraps. And I think the homeless would rather have some scraps than none. Also, when in a contemporary democracy, this is the spectrum, no one else would get elected.
