    Bullshit divisions like this in the political left are why the right keeps winning.

      Ah typical right wingers, always trying to dilute the left until it’s a meaningless word used by those who support capitalism.

      The right keep winning, because capitalism owns the systems of power. If you stopped pandering to their whims and started to actually be anti-capitalist, anti-authority, anti-hierarchy, anti-patriarchy you could push for real change instead of begging for scraps of reformist electoral garbage.

        Gatekeeping and purity tests certainly won’t help

          Oh there’s no gatekeeping or purity tests, we acknowledge all leftists are leftists. It’s why I even acknowledge authleft are leftists despite disagreeing with them.

          Your issue here is you seem to think right wing liberal types are leftists.

            Your original meme doesn’t inherently portray a right wing liberal. Plenty of leftists went to the no kings rally and will go to the next one.

        Then why push away people like this? Why not show them the light and introduce them to the things that actually make the changes? You can invent someone who “will automatically go back to the right” in your head but that isn’t always the case in reality.

        Sure you could push for it, like people have pushed for it for generations. Pushing for something alone doesn’t accomplish it.
