      And here you see a microcosm of the problem. “Leftists” range from “we have to destroy the system and everyone in it damn the consequences” to “I just want the government to provide reasonable services”. (but no, only I am the true left)

        we have to destroy the system and everyone in it damn the consequences

        Literally nobody defends anything like this. Destroying the system is the tool to liberating everyone inside it and to give them better lives, what moves leftism is a desire to rise the human living conditions

      Leftists exist between liberal and communist.

      And since communism can’t work with our current understanding of humanity leftist is about as left as you can get

      In my analogy everybody does get a ball because that’s the social safety net necessary for gameplay. Not everybody gets a fancy hat with a neat feather though
