leftist is pretty vague still because others are leftist too but each other's mortal enemies like like anarchists and communists.
you have to study political theories to understand what they actually mean. most people calling themselves leftist in the united states are democrat-socialist because they don't understand what socialism is due to not reading any sort of political theory.
Well, that, yes, and McArthysm and descendants.
Not all of us anarchists have been successfully propagandized to hate communists 🤷♀️
who does this sort of propaganda?
Anyone to the right of anarchists and communists I guess. Find someone using the word "tankie" or "authoritarian" and you've probably found a live one.
that does next to nothing to narrow it down. lol
