  “The left is the side that fights the elite” Aw, bro. Both sides are being played. Don’t let my impending downvotes or your upvotes make you think otherwise.

    Thanks for your comment, can you explain what you mean? I’m not sure that I understand.

        Ah, I’m guessing you’re American, and you think that democrats are the left and republicans are the right? The democrats are actually center-right, they’re all about capitalism and protecting the interests of the ruling class.

        The true left vs. right dichotomy actually IS the class war. The working class of the left is fighting against the ruling class, and the working class on the right is unfortunately blinded by propaganda and brainwashing into supporting the interests of the ruling class.

        Leftists in the United States historically haven’t been represented by mainstream politics exactly for that reason, and there has been centuries of anti-leftist propaganda in the US, that’s because leftists actually pose a threat to the establishment.

      Sure - the right were whipped up into a nationalist fury and the left were turned into useful idiots, arguing over trivial issues while the 0.01%, who do not sit on left or right, point and laugh. The only reasonable option is anarchy.

      Like I said, I will eat downvotes but you can see evidence of this up and down this comments section.

        I understand what you mean - I’m an anarchist too. Anarchism is a far-left position, though, you realize?

        The democrats / mainstream liberals in western countries absolutely do often make the mistake of accepting the right wing’s framing and arguing with them on their terms, but actual leftists are the force who try to refocus that energy back onto the class struggle.

        Don’t mistake democrats/liberals for actual leftists. Most of them are still very much pro-capitalism.

    if you’re american, democrats aren’t on the left, they’re a center-right political party.

    the left fights the elite in every country.
