Nope, but advocating for “socioeconomic equality” by advocating for Capitalism, a system based on private accumulation and inequality, is hilariously wrong.

You’re just a closed minded marxist. It’s ok.

Friend, take the straight point as it’s delivered: capitalism is a system of oppression, and “liberals” support capitalism.

Leftists call those saying “this system of oppression would be perfect, with only some changes” liberals.

I understand the point you’re trying to relay; however, I’m going to have to disagree.

You’re basically saying that the only way to bring about systemic change is through Marxism, and I can’t agree with that. From another comment i posted:

There are other things like support for social justice and human rights, anti-imperialism and internationalism, desire for systemic change, secularism, opposition to traditional hierarchies, etc. Are you then going to tell me that these characteristics i have outlined are right wing? Or that they are only achievable by being Marxist or Anarchist?

Please explain how advocacy for Capitalism is adbocacy for Socioeconomic equality. Please. I’m a Marxist, you’re darn right, but I acknowledge that there are other left positions like Anarchism and Syndicalism. Liberalism is right-wing.

Bro what!! Liberalism is literally considered a left wing ideology by political scientists. It doesn’t matter what you think. You didn’t create this stuff.

Social democrats and social liberals are all left wing because these groups advocate for more government intervention which right wingers vehemently oppose. Do you think that the political spectrum only involves markets?
