      I’m surely safe to respond to this because as an American we all know parliaments are for commies.

      Right Mr fbi agent?

    Layla Moran on the left is a member of their Liberal Democrats and someone who police were called out to when they allegedly beat their partner over an IT issue.

    Ed Milliband in the middle is a minister and former leader of the Labour party. Maybe not the biggest leftie but enabled members to vote for their leader which paved the way for Jeremy Corbyn to win.

    Based on the above two points, this feels to be quite badly labeled if you know who they are.

    I don’t get lib as an insult. Seems like pretty much everyone on Lemmy is on liberal side of center. I’ve seen some hexbear users use it to refer to anyone who isn’t as tankie as they are, but I don’t get it.

      The US uses lib to mean socially liberal, in opposition to the cons. The rest of the world uses it to mean fiscally liberal, as in support of not regulating capitalist markets, which is an anti worker position.

      People often get pissy that a word can have more than one definition.

      This is the american bastardised version of the word, a liberal has more context then centrist.

      I’m an anarchist socialist. We hate tankies, we hate libs. Libs are capitalists. Tankies are authoritarian. We hate both of those. Eh not hate but you know what I mean. Not ideologically compatible, therefore not allowed in the commune and you aren’t allowed to hurt others, and if I hear a lib say how they’re going to employ someone or a tankie talk about a vanguard state I’m gonna be upset

    I’m left leaning, aka a “lib” and I’m a fan of things that are anti-capitalist.

    I think capitalism has outlived it’s usefulness, just like religion did when we created modern criminal forensics.

    At this point, we have so much in excess that if we did things in a reasonable and logical way, nobody would be homeless, nobody would go hungry.

    The people with the power (money) don’t want things to change, because they get to stay in power that way. The only way to oust them is to overthrow the system.

      This is not a lib mindset. It’s at least progressive if not further left. Libs will fight and die for capitalism, but they want the messaging to be nice about it.

    If you’re on your deathbed, and looking back, you haven’t been on at least one watch list, will you be able to say you have truly lived at all?
