It’s hard to not make fun of liberals from the left, but I find a lot of my generation are liberals by default and friendly to more leftist viewpoints. The left has little to no representation so I don’t blame people for not being exposed to it. My parent’s generation is a lost cause because of cold war propaganda, and the most staunch liberals I know are well-to-do genx.
When I was young I thought liberal was just “not right wing” or just the morally correct political position. It took some more life experience to understand what the liberal attitude and mindset really was.
The original sin of the left is rejecting liberalism, because liberalism is the key to political agency. It’s why socialist revolutions never escape their dictatorship.
They’ll downvote because this message is a threat to campists. But at the end of the day, the way forward is liberal socialism.
