Fuck this purity test bullshit
Fuck radlibs whining about leftism not accommodating their privileged fantasies.
Those who sow division reap what they sow.
Society is divided because leftists sow division. I am very intelligent.
At the moment, I'm not talking about "leftists" or "liberals" or whatever other dividing line you want to define.
I'm talking about you, personally, right now.
Solidarity is the only way forward. We prevail when we lift each other up.
Every other choice is backward.
Solidarity is not ignoring very serious political differences.
Liberals talk all day about tolerance, but they avoid solidarity and target leftism.

“purity test” and it’s not wanting centrists to call themselves leftists
"Bro Bernie had no chance in 2016 bro. Bro Hillary wouldve been the best president bro Bernie would've sucked bro. I love the Clinton's bro look at my Clinton Hat and Clinton Shirt. Make America Play Sax again bro"
you rn.
You realize OP put Bernie in the fake leftist category, right?
the honest answer is no.
Congrats on typing a bunch of stupid shit that no one says or believes, least of all me.
So what are you trying to say here with "purity test" then, because I would rather not have the old guard DNC lib "left" over the socdem/anarchist/communist alternatives.
Give me reason to think investing time here isn't a waste. You made up some person I have to prove I'm not. Fuck that.
you can leave
Yeah man, only fake leftists vote!
I love giving up the franchise!
Gatekeeping and purity tests are super productive.
OP's account is 15 days old and has posted nothing but divisive bs. Getting more and more common lately. I guess that's a sign of Lemmy getting more populated.
That's not purity testing, though. The DNC is not leftist. They're capitalist and some individuals are (arguably) socdems at best.
Get lost with your purity test nonsense. It’s always libs trying to shit on actual leftists for not tolerating their crap. You are not leftists, there is no purity test when you’re not on our side.
Stfu and punch a fascist and stop trying to divide the only friends your side has left.
Liberalism is in opposition to us. Liberalism is friends with fascism, it protects the capitalist system and ruling class.
Wake me up when you’re ready to burn down the state and end capitalism and we can be friends. But once you reach that stage you won’t be a liberal any more, so it won’t matter.

I'm sorry but discouraging electoral participation is extremely dumb. Until the revolution comes, that's how change happens.
Just one more election, bro. This time we'll get on track. Just one more election, bro. This one is the most important one in our lives. Just one more election, bro. /s
Disclaimer: Vote, if you want to (it's not too much of a hassle for me, so I indulge in some elections, too). But please don't volunteer for electoral campaigns if there are better options available to get polieically engaged (there always are).
If you are fighting and have a weapon, why not using it? Even if it's a dull knife it can help.
It's like using a butterknife when there's a revolver almost in reach.
I'm not really understanding the metaphor. In what way did I tell you "not to use the weapon"? I literally said "vote, if you want to".
In your metaphor, I'd be saying "don't put energy into learning how to use a butterknife, if better options are available".
The revolution does not come to us. We make it, beginning in the here and now.
Yeah, so if someone is telling me not to vote and they aren't currently revolting, I'm discounting them as counterproductive at best.
I am not telling you not to vote.
I am telling you not to wait for the revolution to come to you, but instead to be the revolution.
How about we just stand with whoever opposes our current authoritarian government and try to get them out of power instead of pulling this "holier than thou" crap.
Edit: Wild how there are so many comments on this post accusing users of being liberals because they are disagreeing with this devisive messaging.
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS): SDS was one of the most influential student organizations of the anti-war era, mobilizing large-scale protests and advocating for democratic socialism and direct action against the Vietnam War. Through Operation CHAOS, the CIA infiltrated SDS chapters, gathering intelligence on its membership and strategies. The agency’s informants sometimes instigated aggressive actions or created tensions between factions within the group, contributing to its eventual dissolution. By sowing division and encouraging splintering, the CIA effectively weakened SDS as a unified force, reducing its influence over the national anti-war movement.
Liberals literally have never opposed Authoritarianism in any meaningful way
Liberals are not leftists so idek what you are all going on about
that’s literally my point
Ok but who thinks liberals are leftists? It's openly right wing so idk what people expect.
Edit:btw this isn't aimed at you. I just really don't understand why liberalism is labeled left wing anywhere
Liberals never act meaningfully to threaten authoritarianism.
Liberals protect the state. The state protects authoritarianism. When leftists undertake direct action to protect the population against such oppressive systems, liberals pretend that leftists are the greater enemy.

What is the purple anarchism? I know grey, red, and yellow, but not purple.
Anarcho-feminism iirc
