    We have a major political party which is liberal, progressive and socialist. We also have a major political party which is liberal, progressive and capitalist. We also have a semi-major political party which is liberal, conservative and capitalist. And we also have major socalist conservative authoritarian party. No bending out of shape was necessary.

        One is “social” “democracy”, the other is the inalienable human right to food, health, housing, education, work, rest etc. through an economy owned/controlled by the working people. An economy where the parasites as a class have not only been liquidated, but are actively suppressed from reemerging.

          But if being bad is bad how can you justify being bad to bad people to stop them from being bad? This is why nobody takes leftists seriously, 100+ years of communist and anarchist philosophy and you still haven’t figured out that basic contradiction
