to Those Leftists™, anyone thats left of them, right of them, or has identical political beliefs on everything except one issue are "libs", its been thrown around so much on lemmy that it takes up the same part of my brain as "woke", when I see someone use it unironically its generally safe to say I can ignore them.
Social democrats literally are liberals though; liberal is defined by support of capitalism, social democrats seek to buttress capitalism with social programs.
Not to be confused with Democratic Socialism, such as in Bolivia and and Venezuela, who aren't liberals, nor are anarchists, or communists or various indigenous movements that are their own flavor of anti-capitalist.
Yeah, but I wasn't replying to the social democrat. I can only go through seeing anarchists and communists be called lib so many times before feeling like the word liberal has lost all meaning and it just becomes another abstract insult
Where the hell do you see anarchists and communists get called lib?
Is it by republicans, who think liberal means anyone left of them and that communists are a type of liberal, and Mao's Combat Liberalism was a pamphlet about doing liberalism, but really aggressively?
Those people are even dumber and more politically illiterate than the average blue maga.
