    Liberals are not conservative. They are against misogyny, bigotry,racism.

    So right-wing Female supremacists, Trans supremacists and Afro-supremacists.
    That’s your problem there.

    If all of them are complacent with rampant problems in liberal democracies like:

    • Campaign fraud
    • Worker exploitation
    • Imperialist propaganda
    • Bribes
    • Blackmail
    • Inside trading
    • Usury
    • Private gambling institutions
    • Landlords
    • Consumer good poisoning
    • Monopolized rent consumer goods

    Then THEY’RE NOT LEFT-WING!

    And the US hasn’t had a left-wing party, not even a social democratic one, since the 1990s,
    as social democratic parties only seem to thrive if there’s a socialist nation to look up to
    and the Soviet Union fell apart as it lacked resources (coal) to do anything against the US petrodollar scheme,
    That’s why Bill Clinton had been called a Repubic-lite during his reign
    and Obama never delivered on his “Hope & Change”.

    The only semi-left-wing ideas I see coming from US contemporaries “progressives”,
    is that they’re pro-green, because that at least will help people have the resources to go left in the future.

    The right stands for a ruling merchant class and a gatekeeping judicial class.
    The judicial class has noble ideas for itself as a ruling class,
    but they need campaign money in order to be elected as a ruler,
    which the merchant class has in spades, but want their favorable laws for them to be implemented in return.
    And thus the merchant class becomes the ruling class and the judicial class their gatekeepers.
    That’s what the right-wing stands for, unless they’re even more regressive
    and long for a kings and priests to rule over them.

    Centrists, social democratic wing like FDR, try to curb the power of the merchant class,
    but a true left wing will replace it with a ruling engineering class and gatekeeping scholar class that will replace liberal democracy with a people’s democracy that can focus on creating a classless society,
    because only a people’s democracy can tackle the issue of campaign fraud,
    which is systemic in a liberal democracy.
    And this systemic problem becomes larger and larger the more a society automates
    as it causes the power of merchants to be more and more concentrated.

    The US democratic party is only slowly returning to become a social democratic party
    with Zohran Mamdami firmly in the democratic socialist side.

    But looking from the outside, the US is like the Star Control II Ur-Quan alien race, where the US democratic party plays the role of the Kzer-za that wants the rest of the world/galaxy enslaved and the US republican party playing the role of the bloodthirsty Kohr-Ah that wants the rest of the world dead. The only thing missing in the US is a civil war between the two.
