  That’s a leftist. You’re a leftist, buddy.

  I relate a bit, though. I think it’s cringe when socialists call each other “comrade”.

    Is a communist the same as a progressive? A democratic socialist the same as an anarchist? Call me what you want but like I said, it’s reductive and meaningless.

      Progressives aren’t a thing, it’s simply an Amaerica counter label to conservatives so they have something to attack.

      And as an anarchist, I’ve no problem being lumped in with like minded views.

      We’re leftists and proud of it.

        Progressives aren’t a thing

        Because you say so?

        Nonsense.

        Communism is the conservative authoritarian dogma. The exact opossite of progress… or anarchy.

      Why must we divide the tribe? I don’t know how leftist who can’t identify as such plans to exercise collective power. But you do you.

    It’s more embarrassing when people use the words “cringe” and “based.”

    Eh, it adds variety. I’d grow rather bored of addressing everyone as “friend”, “buddy”, etc.
