leftist is pretty vague still because others are leftist too but each other's mortal enemies like like anarchists and communists.

you have to study political theories to understand what they actually mean. most people calling themselves leftist in the united states are democrat-socialist because they don't understand what socialism is due to not reading any sort of political theory.
