Cryophilia@lemmy.world 2 years agoI’m a progressive, not that the distinction matters to you. You see everyone right of Lenin as a conservative.

Nah, you’re directly concerned with attacking leftists and redefining words. Any anti-leftist can be considered a reactionary, but that word might not make sense to you.

Being anti-leftist =/= being reactionary
I understand we define them differently, but do you fundamentally disagree with the spectrum of “Leftist (revolutionary) – Progressive – Conservative – Reactionary” ?
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
Yes, I fundamentally disagree with that.
Rejecting Socialism and the progression towards Worker Ownership is Reactionary behavior. You identify as a progressive, but you oppose all Socialism, and support Liberal Capitalism with robust social safety nets (unless you’ve pivoted).
You are therefore a reactionary.

How would you distinguish between Manchin Democrats, McCain Republicans, and MAGAs? I would call the former two “conservative” and the latter “reactionary”, but if you consider all of them to be reactionary, what labels would you use to differentiate them?
