If someone said they were leftist then I would very much hope they were pro EU and pro Ukraine
It’s the far right that is against those

This makes me sad, I thought we mostly agreed that what FDR did is a good way forward.

There two sides.
1% and their zombies
The rest of us.
Let's not split up and weaken. 💪
That is indeed the two sides depicted in the meme
Always relative to the point of view, for an far right wing everybody else is an leftist/communist.
This is why I usually try not to label myself these days. Invariably there is nuance that I'm not aware of, or that some others interpret differently.
I'm NOT a democrat, republican, conservative, communist, socialist, liberal, maga, or anarchist.
But I lean left on social issues, often hard left, though I say that while also saying I'm firmly anti-authoritarian. And I don't really put fiscal on a separate axis because there are fiscal impacts to any set of beliefs with regard to how various social issues should be considered. I'm also not at all conversant in the slightest bit of nuance regarding how the economy works.
I'm sure some folks would call me a leftist based on the above. Others would insist I'm a liberal. Am I a progressive? Not sure.
leftist : anti-capitalism :: liberal : pro-capitalism
Why is this so hard for some radlibs to understand? I think it is all the propaganda they passively consume.

Who mean those on the right? They don't even self identify as leftists, why should some of their followers say that?
Yeah a better title would have been "I'm left wing" or something but I hate the English language and refuse to respect it.
