i never was a big fan of the left
Ok that's a lot of right, blue ones are pretty rare tbh. I don't even know how you can get that far.
the left in canada pushed me
I think you have to edgelord it to make it into either the top-left corner of red quadrant, or the top-right corner of the blue quadrant
Oh, so you're a reactionary. Makes sense.
also
i'm anti-abortion anti-immigration anti-gay marriage and anti-LGBT
most people call movements that aren't leftist, "leftist"
So you're normal
i guess
the vast majority of political movements are centrist in nature
"Leftist" tends to refer to neo-liberalis
....
i also hate trudeau with a passion
but they are like
anti-leftist
lmao
That's not what I meant
I meant that's how people define Leftist
Not that was what a leftist is
But that's what they think
also apparently believing first generation immigrants cant fully integrate with society makes me right wing
I would define Leftist as socialist and anything beyond that
I mean I think its very hard to argue that Bernie Sanders is like a genuine leftist either
and yes
I agree
Bernie Sanders is a welfare capitalist
bernie sanders is a socialist
leftism is synonymous with socialism and its various schools of thought, whether that be communism, mutualism, anarchism, syndicalism, etc.
Nah, he isn't a socialist
he isn't
no
he is a social democrat
he thinks socialism = FDR and Europe
basically the same thing
now, social democrats *used* to be leftists
but they aren't anymore
haven't been for half a century
they used to want social ownership of means of production
but that was since then dropped
