The Left begins with anti-capitalism. If you aren't against capitalism, you aren't left.

Libs are seething at this absolute correct take. If you're pro free market, you're a liberal and thats as 'left' as you'll ever be.

Won’t even draw a hard line at genocide

It sucks. Liberals will be blaming Arab Americans going to Jill Stein if Harris loses, rather than Harris and Biden, just you wait.

when they say they're left, but then they're authoritarian

Marx and Engels were called "authoritarian" so frequently by their contemporaries that Engels wrote On Authority. What's considered "authoritarian" is a moving target, an arbitrary line in the sand just for people who succeed in revolution, or at least in throwing off western Imperialist powers.

If your argument is that Marxism isn't Leftist then that's hilarious

I mean, she is prettier than Marx. Which one did you want to date?

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm sorry but like, look at his beard. I'd date Marx
