This feels like it should be progressives telling leftists and centrists to cast it in the fire. The leftists say they're both the same and the centrists say we need it for the economy.
Progressive is kind of a funny label because it’s not really distinct from the other two categories, despite also occupying a sort of middle position. Ultimately most progressives are either leftists or liberals, but despite these differences they agree on a general short term political vision.
I think that’s a valid position but it’s not how the term has come to be used. Usually liberals support capitalism, leftists don’t. That’s the main distinction, at least as far as how people use the word in this space.
Huh? Are you saying it’s impossible to live in capitalism and be opposed to it?
So you think capitalism is the best possible system and there’s no point in trying something better?
I don’t think you’re a leftist then.
if that were true, Harris would have more of the vote.
How so?
Yeah.
Maybe if the progressives are telling them to toss it into the fire but the progressives know there isn't any fire yet because they haven't been bothered to make it.
