im pretty late in the conversation but
in the US, liberals are considered the embodyment of the left wing
just as convervatives are considered the embodyment of the right wing
@Perpetual Moral Imbalance I got that from
```Other words, such as “liberal,” had
been originally identified with laissez-faire libertarians, but had
been captured by left-wing statists```
but it still trips over the fundamental fallacy that statism =/= anti-capitalist and assumes the state cannot be used as a tool bythe capitalists. Which is why i find it dumb when Americans attack me for pointing out the democrats are 'right-wing.' I'm using a broader, more useful political spectrum that's based in the reality that something like 'state monopoly capitalism' exists.
tbf its under democrats that corporate america is going to establish its hegemony
^HOLY CRAP THIS
I mean, both parties play their role.
I mean democrats can at least **make concessions to the working class**
but we can see those concessions are either too little
or ineffective
or will be revoked
by 'neoliberalism'
>democrats
>helping working class
🤔
They usually make """"""""concessions""""""""
im not sure if their preference for Hillary over Bernie means theyve made a switch to neocon foreign policy or not
@Perpetual Moral Imbalance you read that wrong
I said *make concessions*
that doesn't mean overall *help the working class*
they're not quite as bold faced lies as the shit the Republicans offer
hillary is an imperialist literally look what she did to libya
but the neocon right is really afraid of whats happening to the GOP
mfw nancy pelosi called $1000 crumbs
the neocon right A.K.A. the intellectual right-wingers
@🌼Kalina🌹🌸🌹Zay🌹🌸🌹Scott🌼 The working class of the USA***
following tax cuts granting up to $1000 more into middle-class paychecks
tax cuts undermine the social democrat system that is meant to keep the working class in check
whoa so the republicans did something right
1111
So fucking stupid
so on one hand 🤔 that means they'll be more pushed to 'anti-capitalist' sude.
on the other hand 🤔 i want my free healthcare.
At the very least the Neocons give the socdems something to pretend to do
tbh the democratic party is just taking the piss at this point
the republicans, specifically a globalist named Cohen wrote that bill and it long term is a corporate tax break
and the Neocons can ultimately lose the fight
can't get over the fact they lost the election, which was supposedly a 9-to-1 favor of clinton
lmao
which allows the """left""" to feel like they're doing something
it doesnt relieve tax rates for the middle or lowest except temporarily i think
while the overton window ultimately stays in place
i think the entire dichotomy is changing
can we just take a moment and laugh at dems who said the election would be a hillary landslide
