Liberals call this "purity testing," but fundamentally the democrats stand for perpetuating capitalism and imperialism. These two points of contention are irreconcilable with any leftist.
"purity testing" more like them gaslighting people into believing that they are left wing and getting defensive when they are proved not to be
Bingo.
"Waaaah how dare you purity test me, yeah I have right wing economic views but have you considered my social views are also right wing" - average Liberal
Yep, lol
If I'm trying to create anything worth anything you're goddamn right I'm gonna test my ingredients for purity
I agree, though I'd say there's a difference between criticism and self-criticism with what we think of as "purity testing," ie demonizing AES or other movements for their imperfections.
