The right side is just liberalism. This is what happens when the left and liberal are melded together in everyday western society/language and the water is muddied. It’s intended. It confuses people, overwhelms them, and leads them to use the apparatus that the ruling class has placed in front of us to circumvent true working class interests and movements. It’s why liberals scoff at potential allies (leftists), instead of seeing the truth: a unified working class.

It's always the people who say 'I'm a hardcore leftist' or 'I'm as left as they come'

i'm as left as they come but I think Israel should "clear out" Gaza and that Trump makes some good points about woke going too far

If someone said they were leftist then I would very much hope they were pro EU and pro Ukraine

It’s the far right that is against those

That's why I'd rather call myself center left. By US standards I'm still probably "far left", because I'm for public healthcare, strong regulations and very robust social safety net. But unlike probably most people here on lemmy, if someone runs a business that's not completely out of control and has unionized employees, I don't think there's a problem with that.
