Capital, politicians, conservatives, libertarians,
- virgildotcodes 4mo agoWe’ve gotta add American Liberals, majority of Democratic Party to the list. The Sanders faction is unfortunately not yet the prevailing force.
- culi 4mo agoAround the world "liberal" is synonymous with "capitalist". US is pretty unique in that it considers liberalism a leftwing ideology
- virgildotcodes 4mo agoYeah for sure, speaking purely on the American common framing of big L Liberals as akin to social liberals rather than classical/economic liberals.
- overfeed 4mo agoLeft/Right alignment is relative, and the American political center is...where it is, and has been drifting rightward since Bill Clinton's "Third Way".
- ThrowawayR2 4mo agoNo longer true; the left wing in the U.S. started splitting from the liberals over a decade ago and that's more or less complete at this point.
- Danox 4mo agoAt the very top, yes and unfortunately many workers on both sides of the fence run interference/collaborate for those at the top it’s one of reasons the Molly Maguire‘s never win or rarely win for too long.
- tdeck 4mo agoDon't forget liberals too!
