[–] blanketswithsmallpox@kbin.social 26 points 3 years ago* (1 child) A rare instance, on some issue, because a broken clock is right twice a day. And yet... gestures broadly to the numerous liberal progressive Democrats You won't find that side in the Republican party lol. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world -5 points 3 years ago (2 children) I get what you're saying, but "liberal progressive" is an oxymoron. Progressivism is center left/left while neoliberalism is center right/right. Not everything to the left of fascism is left of center. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] just_ducky_in_NH@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) There is a difference between liberal and neo-liberal.

Liberal progressivism that's more concerned with privatizing social welfare and forcing everything to be a market based solution than doing good is doomed to fail. We need socialist/anti-capitalist progressivism or we're just going to give away a bunch of taxpayer money to oligarchic assholes and still have most of the same problems. permalink fedilink source parent
