I mean, if they're talking about the "moderate heroes" in Washington that think these things, they're not wrong.

I'm not a liberal, but I'd take liberal over this:





when you literally can't tell the difference between social democracy and bolshevism

Really, this is a definitional problem more than a political problem; looks like the American definition of liberal is slowly dying out. It'll be a good thing for clarity of discussion.

Not a socialist/communist but, yeah, modern liberalism is generally hypocritical.

I'm not a liberal, but I'd take liberal over this:




There are plenty of ideologies within the socialist spectrum. Democratic socialism, which I'd suspect is what the twitter user supports, isn't comparable to Mao-style communism, and definitely won't result in mass executions.

I don't support communism, but whenever someone non-jokingly equates Bernie Sanders with Stalin I stop taking them seriously.

Agreed. This person id'd as an anarcho-communist.

Yeah, I got a feeling that he or she was way to the left of Bernie.
