      “Left-wing” is pretty vague. I’ve seen people say things like “now I’m as leftwing as they come, which is why I support sending tens of billions of dollars to Ukrainian Nazis! Slava Ukraini!” Under the capitalist mode of production, there are communists, liberals, and fascists. That’s pretty much it.

          Not really. You either support capitalism or you don’t. And if you do support it, you’re either comfortable with its nastier aspects (genocide, slavery, the annihilation of the human species via climate change), as fascists are, or you find those aspects uncomfortable, as liberals do, though they aren’t an issue for you if they’re kept out of sight. Is there some other group I’m missing here?

      Liberals already make it very clear that they aren’t left wing, do you think barely-regulated capitalism is a left wing position? Do you think constant warmongering is a left wing position? They’re garbage at actually doing anything concrete besides spending money on weapons.

      Sounds like you like cheering for blue team though.
