    At least it’s after the election; the pre-election circle-jerking about how Democrats/liberals are the worst thing to happen to humanity were… suspicious.

      The leftist memes never hcange, the only difference is we’re only allowed to speak when Liberals don’t find it inconvenient.

          Liberals enshrine property rights which include land, labor (people) and capital (machinary). Thereby, the owner dominates land, labor and capital.

          There are many flavors of Leftist. Proudhon stated it best as, “Property is Theft!”. Property rights are inconsistent with freedom. The owners derive their living from the labor of workers on land that was held in common with machines created by other exploited workers. Anarchy is an effort to end such domination.

            Ok got it. If you dont know, when American media says “left” or “the left”, they mean liberal by your definition.

          Leftists don’t believe in a (free) market, while liberals do.

          In other words, leftists generally believe buying and selling, currency, etc. should be eradicated.

          There’s countless differences between leftists.

          The unifying differences are anti-capitalism and being against private ownership - which in leftist thinking is differentiated from personal ownership (toothbrushes, personal housing, etc). Generally there’s some degree of anti-hierarchical values.

            There’s countless differences between leftists.

            They asked for the difference between leftists and liberals, not whether or not there are differences between leftists.

            The unifying differences are anti-capitalism and being against private ownership - which in leftist thinking is differentiated from personal ownership (toothbrushes, personal housing, etc).

            Correct.

            Generally there’s some degree of anti-hierarchical values.

            Same with liberals, so generally incorrect.

            C-
