The few times I have looked at the conservative subreddit to see what they are posting, I noticed they are always name calling anyone they perceive as left wing - “libtards”, “stupid liberals” “idiot left wingers” etc. Its sad

The fun part is liberals and leftists are two VERY different things.

For example, liberals are generally pretty centrist. They want open markets and often support stricter gun control.

Leftists want an armed proletariat and a managed economy.

These aren't the same unless you're wayyyy out on the far right.

>Leftists want an armed proletariat

Most leftists do not want that, the majority of people asking for economic reform also support gun control. Maybe the turbo LARPers do, but not the average lefty.

Those are liberals, who often aren't even left of center.

The people on the left are asking for socialism... not social democracy, not reforms, not better labor policy. I'm not talking about New Deal Democrats like Mr. Sanders. He only seems fringe from inside the bubble of US politics. In reality he's a left-leaning liberal.

Both ends of the spectrum: fascists and socialists want a heavily armed population.
