It leaves the regular americans who are not into political tags. You know, most of us.
History books are gonna stick people and movements into categories whether they actively espouse the labels themselves or not, but tbf not reading history books because "we're not like those other countries" is about as American as it gets, so rock on
The lesson here is to recognize all those labels that are stuck on people in those history books are possibly biased garbage.
Maybe the labels are less valuable than people think.
They sure as fuck aren't promoting class unity
