You're just a closed minded marxist. It's ok.
Friend, take the straight point as it's delivered: capitalism is a system of oppression, and "liberals" support capitalism.
Leftists call those saying "this system of oppression would be perfect, with only some changes" liberals.
I understand the point you're trying to relay; however, I'm going to have to disagree.
You're basically saying that the only way to bring about systemic change is through Marxism, and I can't agree with that. From another comment i posted:
I don't think you understand, because you came out of left field to restate my point as "the only way to bring about systemic change is through Marxism."
Wtf? Where did I say anything related to Marxism, let alone use the word?
I will reply to your quote:
No! Those things are only achievable through anticapitalism! Marxism and anarchism are examples of anticapitalist thought.
"Opposition to traditional hierarchies," "desire for systemic change," "anti-imperialism," and "social justice" are hollow, offensive, and nonsensical when ignoring capitalism.
I'm not a Marxist, and you can call yourself whatever you like, but if you haven't attained class consciousness enough to recognize that capitalism is a death cult, you're a fucking liberal.
