Does it look like that’s the attitude of the left? This was posted in a community where very leftist content is posted and it’s got a score of -25. Plenty of this community content is posted by OP themselves BTW but this take of theirs isn’t well received. So not only this opinion doesn’t seem to be prevalent among us, it also doesn’t even say much about OP’s other leftist takes.
Its mostly because of folks like this throwing it around like its an insult. I don’t mind being actual center even though im a bit left of and I don’t care that our right wing determine im ultra mega super communist alpha X the next generation. I mean im more real center than left I would say in a sane scale.
Looking at your post history, you’re def ultra mega super commie by US standards. Joke aside, the left-right spectrum is a bit of a sham. I like to think of it as up-down in terms of class. Once mfker sees things in terms of class and that most of us are working class even if we don’t make min wage, eyes get wide open. Most of the ideas for how to help our class get more of what we produce historically come from figures who have been somewhere on the left side of the left-right spectrum. However people from different parts of the spectrum have picked and chosen from those ideas, and the spectrum itself is a moving target. Then you have people who make caricatures of the spectrum in order to slander others… But that’s much more difficult to do with class, because class isn’t based on ideas. It just is the material reality and all we need to figure it out is to look at it.
Man. This is why I describe myself as a centerist. If this attitude is left then im not it.

Because you think imperialism is fine as long as you get healthcare and benefits from it?
That’s fine because in reality our politics is centrist if you look at Europe. Only in America are we considered far left.
pretty much.
