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

    Those arenā€™t liberals. Youā€™re conflating what the word means with the incorrect usage of the billionaire-owned media.

    Hereā€™s Phil Ochs accurately describing liberals from a Left point of view

    Weā€™re just more neutral to the economic system and more into preserving human rights.

    That doesnā€™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. Itā€™s just as bad as the ā€œsocial liberal economic conservativeā€ bullshit.

      It makes perfect sense when the main economic system isnā€™t changing anytime soon and that humans wonā€™t just magically become not shitty if changed to another one

        Ah, I see. The ā€œignore the majority of the worldā€™s injustice because itā€™s not easy to overcomeā€ school of ethics. Never been an adherent of that particular dogma myselfā€¦

          Not saying ignore it Iā€™m saying be realistic. Iā€™m saying work with whats possible now. Communism is what comes after youā€™ve already solved the worldā€™s problems
