That doesn't apply here, liberals fundamentally aren't leftists. Liberals are centrists.
While I totally agree that liberals are not leftists. Liberals in the US are on the left.
I don't really expect you to learn this, as a self-identifying leftist, because your priors are everything to you, but it is true.
Being left of the far-right does not make one a leftist. Words have meanings.
I would never claim liberals are leftists. Leftists are liberals who failed math
Curious how you came to that conclusion. When I was in the math department in college, most of the smartest students were full-blown communists. Though I'm not sure how you think math factors into it in the first place
Lots of undergrads believe lots of silly shit. My buddy was a conservative til he got his masters in Econ. People grow.
You're the one who implied leftism conflicts with mathematical understanding, which you still haven't justified with any actual reasoning.
Yep! Always makes me laugh.
I guess whatever you are is what happens when you fail basic logic.
Nope
Incompetent in logic and rhetoric both, truly impossible to underestimate.
You can lead a troglodyte to knowledge but you can't make them think.
At some point, the goal stops being trying to reach them, and becomes trying to reach lurkers who might agree with them.

So the original post was talking world wide. Limiting the scope to a very right wing portion of the world doesn't magically change who's on the Left.
If you have a room full of people saying "Let's form a dictatorship and conquer the world!" and 1 person says "I don't think that's a good idea", that person is not automatically "on the left" just because they are to the left of extremist right wing views.
No they are absolutely not.
It's cute when you guys do Bernie Math to try to make yourselves seem correct.
Condescension: how centrists concede an argument.
So, only /some/ genocide?
Liberalism is the ideology of capitalism.
Leftist politics reject capitalism.
Liberalism is only left compared to conservatism, but both are on the right wing.
