Ok I don’t expect you to see it but this is exactly why I said it’s a lie that online lefties tell themselves. Globally, in real life politics, yes you absolutely can be center-left without demanding the overthrow of Capitalism.
What do you think leftism even is? An arbitrary vibe? Globally, Marxism-Leninism guides one of the most populous countries in the planet.
Being left of center is not solely defined by being Marxist, and one country, even if it actually was Marxist and not 3 Capitalisms in a trenchcoat, would not define the standard of what constitutes “left” in the world.
I’m not saying Marxism isn’t Left. I’m saying it’s not literally the only thing that IS Left.

Left of center is anticapitalist, be it Anarchist, Syndicalist, or Marxist. I also think it’s funny when you out yourself as having no clue what Marxism even is if you think the PRC is “3 Capitalisms in a trenchcoat,” read Socialism Developed China, Not Capitalism.

Neither did I. I just also said Liberalism isn’t left.
