Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

    They are indeed all reactionary, though I would use Liberal and Fascist. All 3 are conservative liberals, and all 3 reject leftist movement, but MAGA in particular is a fascist movement.

        Minor. All 3 are liberals and all 3 are reactionary. Getting into the weeds for specifics won’t really change their overall labels.

        They all support “current system + minor tweaks,” and the “current system” part does heavier lifting than “minor tweaks.”

          Is there anyone who is neither a leftist nor a reactionary? Or do you think everyone has to be either for worker ownership (leftist) or against it (reactionary)?

            It’s a spectrum, unintentional anti-leftism due to a lack of information isn’t as reactionary as fascism, but both are reactionary.

            Generally, you either support moving on to the next mode of production, or you reject that movement.

              Got it. I still reject your central premise of hard labels regardless of real-world context, but everything you’re saying makes sense and is internally consistent within that premise.

                We disagree on a ton, but I don’t believe either of us have been internally inconsistent.
