    When did the left wing liberals did anything to stop this? ICE is still here after many left wing liberals where in power, the same can be said of Guantanamo, the same of wars in the Middle East wars. Democrats are almost exactly the same as Republicans.

      left wing liberals

      This is an oxymoron. Liberalism is right-wing.

      Democrats are almost exactly the same as Republicans.

      This is the least-incorrect part of your comment, but it’s still incorrect. You need to understand that it’s possible for parties to be vastly different degrees of right-wing.

        Liberalism is the moderate wing of fascism, it is indeed a reactionary ideology. But among the both variants of liberalism there are the left wing liberals (the Democrats in the US, and in oppressed countries it is the national bourgeoisie), and right wing liberals (the Republicans, and the international bourgeoisie in oppressed countries). This does not mean they are left wing, just that using each other to create some sort of measurement system one is more to the left and the other one more to the right.
