Leftist means supporting slightly higher taxes and then blaming socialists for "dividing the left" when they oppose genocide

Leftists support socialism. Liberals support capitalism.

That's the dream, but a lot of 'leftists' aren't always quite fully anti-capitalist yet. They can get there, but it takes time and learning/unlearning. I've started just calling myself a socialist because it is more direct. Leftist is more vibes based for a lot of people.

I just call myself a communist/Marxist-Leninist. It's clear and honest.
