      I think you’re mistaking socialist critique for right wing. I’ve done that myself in the past. I automatically assumed that the ones critical of centrist or liberal people and politics are rabid right wingers. Turns out people criticize “the left” from the left as well. Throughout most of my life such criticism always came from right. And if you don’t ask any questions about why, the short criticism itself can look identical. But if you do, the reasoning and the proposed solutions are quite different. E.g. workers in the US aren’t doing well. A right wing nut might want to get rid of government to solve that. A socialist might want to strengthen labor unions and nationalize healthcare. They both think the Democrats are shit since the party is doing neither. People from .ml are overwhelmingly comrades criticising from the left. In fact .ml stands for Marxist-Leninist.
