lefties should be called progressives. liberalism is on the authoritarian-anarchist cultural spectrum. it would fix so much confusion. #LiberalValues

fu (fu@libranet.de)'s status on Friday, 26-Apr-2024 04:31:52 JST fu @wjmaggos @alex I call myself a leftist, and I don't see liberals as sell out progressives, I see "progressives" as also right-wing capitalists, just like all other liberals. -

william.maggos (wjmaggos@liberal.city)'s status on Friday, 26-Apr-2024 04:31:53 JST william.maggos this is the view of leftists imo who generally see liberals as sellout progressives. MSNBC NPCs and Dem blue no matter who folks.
liberals can be progressive or conservative or a bit of both, but they value shared truth and useful compromise above their side always winning.

anything a leftist shouldn't do to achieve their goals
I guess Lie, like pretend to be a right-winger so you can "change it from the inside". Lies destroy regardless of the situation and it is much more likely the inside will change you than vice-versa -

william.maggos (wjmaggos@liberal.city)'s status on Friday, 26-Apr-2024 04:31:59 JST william.maggos do you use any other term besides leftist? is there anything a leftist shouldn't do to achieve their goals?
for me, left-wing is progressive just like right-wing is conservative. I consider myself a progressive or left liberal. the left-right spectrum is pretty well defined by moral foundations theory imo.
