    Why do you use the liberal label? I’ve been hearing this “China bad” shit from the right for years

      Because the entire US political spectrum fits nearly inside of “neoliberalism”. Liberalism in general is just capitalism+.

        I think the world liberal is used… Liberally. I usually equate it in the US political term for left of center (or rather the opposite of conservatives), but I know the entire US political system is hijacked - both “sides” answer to the same overlords

          Yes, the entire spectrum of the DNC and GOP falls under liberalism to fascism, there are pretty much no leftists in US politics.
