    They’re not using liberalism in that context, though, the one that Wikipedia says is often used as a pejorative. They’re not Republicans “owning the libs.” They’re using it in the “classical liberalism” context.

      But they apply it to anarchists and other leftists who believe in abolishing private property, which is wholly incompatible with liberalism.

        Okay… I haven’t seen that happen. There are plenty of anarchists on hexbear and lemmy.ml, and they have anarchist communities.
