So, I’m not cool with genocide. Not cool with that at all. Even if they are landlords. I’m much more in favor of reeducation centers, personally. I’m against the death penalty on moral grounds. I believe that everyone deserves a second and third chance.

With that said, economically, I consider myself to be anarcho-communist or communalist or “left-communist” or whatever the fuck you want to call it.

But apparently all of that makes me a lib, and not welcome on the left? Is that correct?

*edit: I’ve now been banned from LemmyGrad, so yeah, that kind of confirms it. You guys are morons. Or a PsyOp meant to forever impede any sort of sea-change towards socialism.

    Liberalism was originally a term to mean someone supporting capitalism as the primary means of production and exchange. Marxist circles tend to use terms according to their technical capacity rather than the common vernacular. Lemmygrad is a Marxist Lemmy instance and as such, tends to hold opinions thereof. For further reading Spagetisprettygood’s comment may help with the rest of your question.

      No, look, I get it. It’s just that MLs tend to call anyone who’s not a revolutionary marxist a “lib” and it’s insulting and off-putting and not in the spirit of solidarity against capitalism.
