    It’s a word liberals use to dismiss anyone to the left of them. in the same way Maga dipshits say ‘woke’ about liberals. Just an amorphous slur that means let’s stop talking about issues that make us question the dominant narrative.

    [Aaaand here come the downvotes which will prove my point]

        Not only that, they despise leftist movements that call modern China what it is. Revisionist.

        They hate Khrushchev while embracing the same bankrupt ideology that he pushed, but only whoever it’s in one of the countries that currently claim to be socialist. The social imperialism of the USSR was replaced by the social imperialism of Deng’s China and that was a good thing in their mind.

        Right isn’t a synonym for evil. The left has a lot of genodical leaders, like Stalin, Mao, Castro, just to name the biggest ones.
