Who is liberals???

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 days ago

Liberals are generally those who support the capitalist status quo, or think it only needs tweaks.

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.

Definitely interesting, thanks for sharing, im gonna look into some of that

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 days ago

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.

If something is a propaganda it does not automatically mean it's false.

propaganda n 1: information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yep, correct. Propaganda can be for a good cause, like for climate activism.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or promoting socialism

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago

Yep!

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Sure. But the meme still holds.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes yes but the truth is always in the middle. (I am so smart)

Far-Right: Trump

Far-Left: DSA

The Middle: ducking Amy Klobacher throwing a stapler

Took me a moment to realize this is rhetorical device to illustrate the point.
