This is why i have mostly stopped using the term leftist and now just distinguish between liberals and socialists. The two are fundamentally incompatible and so should not be lumped in together. It is much clearer what is meant when we say socialist as opposed to the vague “leftist” label. (And by socialist i mostly mean communist, but socialist is just a more palatable term for the normies, and since the goal of socialism is communism anyway i just use the two fully interchangeably in casual discourse.)
