Comment on Centrists have such a Hard Choice.
Ravenheart@lemmy.zip 4 days agoYeah, radical left is more like: Seize the means of production! Abolish capitalism! Abolish patriarchy! Abolish the state!
What’s labelled as radical left in the OP is just bare minimum, common sense policies that any marginally sane person should want.
the radical left boogieman in my current rural small town actually wants all gender neutral bathrooms in schools, with kitty litter boxes in a stall for otherkin. And they will force you to use your own neopronouns, or they will cancel you, and will make you lose your job.
that’s what these people around here really believe the average neolib democrat wants for society.
Thats just leftism. Radical leftist is: kill all landlords, billionaires, politicians, fascists, any one in government before the revolution, ect…
IF YOU ARE NOT AT LEAST ADVOCATING FOR WORKERS CONTROLLING THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION THEN YOU ARE NOT A LEFTIST, YOU ARE LEFT LEANING AT BEST BUT STILL A CENTRIST.
Yap yap.

Probably because “radial left” has no real leg to stand on right now and the big talking points of what the GOP call “radical left” are just this. Exhibit A.
We can theorize about radical left. Meanwhile, radical right is happening in real time.
