The liberals were never extreme enough for the communists and Marxist. Although they were made to feel like the group, they were never actually accepted. And for some reason now its being revealed that “liberals” are not extreme enough and part of the problem.
It’s not about being “extreme” (and liberalism is plenty extreme, see books like The Jakarta Method, Killing Hope, and Liberalism: A Counter-History), it’s about liberalism being pro-capitalism and therefore Liberals not leftists.
Marxists have always opposed liberalism, liberalism is pro-capitalism and anti-socialist and Marxism is anti-capitalist and pro-socialist. Liberalism is extreme though, as Edie pointed out, just in a horrible direction.
Who is liberals???
Liberals are generally those who support the capitalist status quo, or think it only needs tweaks.
To a tankie it’s anyone that doesn’t support genocide by Russia/China.
