Its almost as if these posts are put up to be divisive, and to keep any opposition to the current right wing neoliberal order divided. Huh.

Do you think the Democratic Party opposes the neoliberal order?

TIL Pelosi is the only democrat.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Did you know she was speaker of the house? That's, like, a big deal.

It doesn't matter what random Democrats think (obviously), it matters what the leadership thinks.

Democrats and liberals by definition are pro capitalism. Stop conflating leftists and liberals. Leftism begins at anti capitalism.

Democrats are a political party, one that hasn't had a consistent ideological set of beliefs throughout its own existence. For that matter neither has the republican party.

They are not "by definition" pro capitalism.

Well, they've always been capitalist. There's never been a time when they weren't capitalist. So.... odd argument to make.

They 1000% are pro capitalism in the United States. You’re eithe fucking stupid, or not a citizen of the USA to think democrats are not pro capitalism.

Liberalism historically from its inception has believed people have certain rights, right to “free market “ as they say is one of those. In the US Democrats also go by liberal, but not all liberals and democrats know their position is definitionally pro capitalism and liberal has taken on a definition of left of conservatives/republicans that most Americans have not dug in that far.

TLDR To speak American politics their are conservatives/Republicans and everyone else is liberal, including in that camp progressives, leftists, Bernie Bros, anarchists. To speak Leftist politics, you have Leftists, Anarchists, Liberals (including conservatives, liberals, progressives because all their policies are pro capitalism )

Spoken like someone who can observe objective reality, unlike USA Dems.

Sorry, I think I got caught up on your TLDR. But rereading, yes I can see you’re agreeing. My mistake.
