Okay, if you say so! Have a great day, much love, solidarity forever!

The closest I have come to a definition is to explain that the political ideology of liberalism is one which puts the greed of the ruling class before the freedoms of the working class. I don’t need to argue about definitions to make that point. We live in a neoliberal world. Look around you - you are forced to work for a living, because of free market economics. If you didn’t work for a living, you would die from lack of food or shelter. Is that freedom?

Honestly, I am kind of surprised at how invested and single-minded a lot of people are in protecting capitalist propaganda. I doubt any of these commenters are ruling class, but they’re relentlessly berating and smearing me for advocating for the interests of the working class and providing basic political education. It’s really something.

Those in power are often there because of the donations of the wealthy and lobbyist groups. Without that money, they wouldn’t win their election campaigns. The wealthy are generally more comfortable with fascism than any kind of leftist politics, because leftist politics threaten their class interests - amassing maximal wealth and power - whereas fascism does not.

You’re a funny guy, I like you a lot. Thanks for participating!

How would you react to a MAGA supporter suffering the consequences of Trump’s presidency?

and where am I doing that?

Not at all, in my experience, liberals often argue that the USSR was communist, so I am pleasantly surprise you acknowledge that it wasn’t. Kudos!

Obviously, though, the liberal party was/is liberal, but liberalism inevitably trends towards fascism. It’s just the way of the world.

I am also sick of infighting among the working class, and the working class being victimized by the ruling class. We need to recognize that the ruling class are our shared enemy, and that they use capitalism to oppress and exploit us, and they hide capitalism behind the shield of liberalism.

I believe that words are the means to meaning, the building blocks of our ability to communicate ideas. It is important to understand them, and to have shared reality of what words mean.

Again, I am very clearly not a tankie. I am an anarchist. Anarchists have historically been viciously oppressed by tankies. We are enemies.

Thanks for your reply, I hope you don’t mind me copying and pasting something I wrote to someone who replied something quite similar:

Actually, there are current and historical examples of very successful anarchist societies. For a couple of examples, at present, the Zapatistas exist, an anarchist region with at least 300,000 people living under it, and also that Revolutionary Spain existed, an extremely successful example of anarchism in practice which resisted Nazi Germany better than any democratic nation in mainland Europe.

No apology necessary, I totally understand it! Liberals have been running this propaganda campain for centuries, so it’s a real uphill battle for leftists. I really appreciate you doing the research and getting back to me. Your comment makes all of my efforts worthwhile. Thank you <3

Liberalism? Same. It’s an absolute plague on society. We need to get rid of the ability of the ruling class to exert their “freedom” to exploit the working class.

Yes, sure, just like how the USSR aren’t communists, right?

I have now restored the original, unedited comic. Thanks for raising this!

Oh yes, good point! I will do so.

Feel free to try to improve the problems you see, but the track record for either autocracies or anarchists doing better is so far Zilch.

The USA, which is actually a pretty horrible country on many issues, has one of the best records for making sure everyone is food

“Making sure everyone is food” is quite the freudian slip. Seriously, though: someone hasn’t heard of food deserts!

In 2025, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that an estimated 12.8% of the US population were living in low-income and low-access census tracts. Of this number, 19 million people live in “food deserts”, which they define as low-income census tracts that are more than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas and more than 10 miles (16 kilometers) from a supermarket in rural areas.

I think healthcare should be socialized as it is in many European Nations.

So do a majority of Americans, and yet it has not happened. Why not? Because the wealthy rule, because of capitalism.

You know what else exists in the west? Starvation, homelessness and medical debt. The freedom to profit from food, shelter and healthcare means that you are forced into laboring, usually for the benefit and profit of wealthy private individuals, who pay you for less than your work is actually worth, because otherwise you die. Is that freedom?

Remind me, what are the mainstream political parties in Australia, again?

Liberalism is an international movement. Unfortunately, it is not limited to the US.

Yes, reading is really hard, isn’t it? Having to learn things, having our ideas challenged? Awful, yuck!
