I assumed it was just "hire more LGBTQIA+ prison guards!" so-true

It's worse than that. What I've seen recently because of federation is "(verbal performative) support for disadvantaged people as long as they maintain a successful small business in a disadvantaged area for no less than three years and aren't anywhere to the left of Bernie Sanders!"

We're anarchists, communists, and various other leftists. By liberal we mean someone who politically aligns with the basic structure of free market capitalism. By leftist we mean someone who wants to abolish private businesses.

We use a lot of terminology that's different than how liberals might use terms. So maybe you're used to liberal simply meaning left-wing. We're distinct from liberals because we don't share their underlying ideology on how the world operates. We see it in terms of economic class, whereas liberals place emphasis on individual thoughts and actions.

Hope you stick around and ask more questions. If you want any resources or further reading let me know
