    And you got leftist piling on liberals for some reason

    Edit: oh shit I’m in .ml my bad(not really) lol hey at least you don’t ban dissent I guess

    Edit 2: Leftists once again can’t see the forest for the trees with your ideological purity test pitted against defeating a common enemy. For people so smart you really need to understand that your power lies with NUMBERS

      “For some reason”

      Liberals in the US are MAGA enablers. To the last individual.

          I’m not from the US, but from the outside it looks like you are threatening to not help, when the issue and criticism is that US liberals didn’t help in the first place, and still aren’t helping.

          Can you see why what you said could be seen as a silly take?

                  “Personal liberty” is what allows capitalists to exploit us. They have all the “liberty” you think you have. The “liberty” to put lies in the media, to pay you less than the value of your labor in order to extract a profit, to charge extortionist prices for healthcare and other basic needs, to influence politics and to crush competing public industries. These are all the things that “liberty” gets you under capitalism. “Personal liberty above all” != working class liberation.

                    So there’s no liberty under communism? I’d say class freedom is extreme liberty

          Greta is very clearly not a liberal. She’s been very vocally anticapitalist these past few years.

                  Economic liberalism is associated with markets and private ownership of capital assets. Economic liberals tend to oppose government intervention and protectionism in the market economy when it inhibits free trade and competition, but tend to support government intervention where it protects property rights, opens new markets or funds market growth, and resolves market failures.[2]
