    I see a couple (Hopefully now former?!) libs saying they’ve been radicalized over this whole thing. Honestly now is a good time to try spread the good word of Karl Marx to the unenlightened.

      We should also take the opportunity to point out to the scared and radicalizing liberals that they are now fully in the same boat as us: “You heard the fascist, whatever your feelings are about anarchists and communists, the nazis don’t know the difference. It’s all The Demonic Left to them so congrats, you’ve been drafted to the good guys.”

        Liberal, to me, is anyone who supports any part of pro-capitalist ideology and goals, whether it be

        1. settler-colonialism/right-libertarianism (America’s process to becoming such country)

        Also known originally, as propetarianism/classical-liberalism, a le John Locke and Adam Smith…

        1. neoliberalism/IMF structural adjustment of exploitative debt and cuts of social spending, privatization (post-cold war economic policy of capitalism, a l’Amerique, to expand capitalism,)

        2. pro-west regime-change NGOs, gulf-state-esque collaborators, and comprador nation-states (post-cold war foreign policy, to defend capitalist interests)

        Liberals change and flow, by their material conditions and situation… in fact, libs only occurred as a result of bourgeois (bourgeois now is a historical term to me) classes trying to justify themselves as a whole, as the new dominating system

        Eg. One liberal in rev. France may support beheading monarchies, while a whig lib or Kerenskyist lib in the U.K or Russia may support the Royalty itself
