Liberalism is also associated with things like the abolition of slavery, universal suffrage, LGBT+ rights

Communists had to pry these concessions from liberalism with organized violence, don't pretend like liberalism did these things.

Honest question: when did communists use organized violence to abolish slavery? To win LGBT+ rights?

A lot of radical abolitionists were communists

The lgbt liberation movement would wave the flag of the legitimate vietnamese government during the US invasion. Marsha Johnson, Leslie fienberg, communists.

You quoted me, then immediately misquoted me. I didn't say what you think I said.

Sorry should have phrased it as "people shouldn't pretend..."
