An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

Are they? The current secretary general of NATO is a history teacher and he was also the leader of the Dutch right wing liberal party. He was the prime minister of the Netherlands for 14 years and pushed the country full libtard.
He would probably be counted as left in the us tho
Some people just want to watch the world burn
Remember that most Americans don't use the word Liberal like we do - we mean liberal in terms of selling everything off to corporations that will rob us blind while they man liberal as in socially liberal.
Which as an aside goes back to the 1800s more specifically Southern slavers using the term liberal as short hand for basically everyone who wasn't a slaver. This is a rather old dialect difference between American English and British English.
Also as an aside, John Brown did nothing wrong and Sherman didn't go far enough.
That was indeed an interesting aside, thanks!
The classic socially liberal (Voltaire and shit) and the corpo lib aren’t always mutually exclusive. Like a lib can be for gay rights and for laissez-faire free markets. It not every social liberal is a progressive. Like many social libs are pro gay rights because the progressives fought for those rights and made that socially acceptable to be for gay rights. But Trans rights is for them a step too far. So those libs are still right of center.
While such a state does occur in practice for a period of time, your last sentence shows where it inevitably ends up.
