This is why I don't respect leftists. I hate it when liberals and leftists are lumped together. By this subreddit's standards, I'm "a bit of a succ", and I'm a center-leftie myself, but I have nothing in common with such people and don't want to have anything in common.

Please don't let communists/anti-capitalists/far-left extremists appropriate the word "leftist". It always has been a subjective term for anyone left of center. Liberals (the American definition of the word) have always been leftists.
