    Well, that person is an .ml user, which means they claim to be Marxist-Leninist, and that means they may actually believe that social democracy is a moderate wing of fascism.

    I’ll just provide a scan of J. Stalin, ‘On the International Situation’, International Press Correspondence, 4:72 (1924), p. 792. So I absolutely agree that there can be no “infighting” with someone who was always hostile towards just about anyone else.

      No, they mean social democracy is literally a form of liberalism, because they know what they’re talking about and liberals don’t even know what liberalism is, which is just one of the many reasons it’s dying on the vine and failing every test of ideological character.

      Nice “solidarity” btw.

        You mean to tell me that followers of fringe political views don’t use liberal as an insult to anyone less authoritarian than them?

        Oh come on, nobody thinks of First French Republic when saying “liberalism”, doesn’t matter what Merriam-Webster says, internet discourse is as far from political science standards as it can be.

            Dude, you’re an American (or a troll pretending to be American, dunno with you people nowadays), member of the most materialistic consumerist society on this damn planet.

            My taxes go towards my country’s social security, including public medicine, and votes go for those who stay that course. You have zero business calling anyone greedy from your 3rd world country.
