There are not only two groups. I don't agree with all the points in either side.
I am:
And if you disagree with me on some things, that's fine and normal, we can talk about it, as individuals - not as members of a group who've tied out opinions to group identity.
There are not only two groups.
I don't think they're saying there's only two groups, just trying to contrast liberalism and the left, since the two terms are often used interchangeably even though there are significant differences between them. Of course it's more complicated than that, there's a lot of nuance and not everyone will fall entirely into one group or the other, but I think it's useful to show why the left doesn't always side with liberals, and vice versa.
Hesitant antifascism?
You've seen this happen?
Choking when they deep throat a nazi doesn't count.
Not to be that guy, but you can very well be a leftist, hell even a full on communist, and be reformist, you don't need to pull a Robespierre (ironically a Liberal btw) LARP to change the world.
Also, dual power, what a fever dream, do you really think that any sovereign entity is going to allow an alternate sovereign entity to exist within the same space? That so absurd you may as well start believing in the Libertarian "subscription governments" because essentially it's the same thing. Either you reform the current system into Socialism, or you roll the dice and pull a revolution, problem is, that no one knows exactly who will come out on top during those.
These are 2 lists of buzzwords. Doesn't really say anything.
