    Friend, take the straight point as it’s delivered: capitalism is a system of oppression, and “liberals” support capitalism.

    Leftists call those saying “this system of oppression would be perfect, with only some changes” liberals.

      I understand the point you’re trying to relay; however, I’m going to have to disagree.

      You’re basically saying that the only way to bring about systemic change is through Marxism, and I can’t agree with that. From another comment i posted:

      There are other things like support for social justice and human rights, anti-imperialism and internationalism, desire for systemic change, secularism, opposition to traditional hierarchies, etc. Are you then going to tell me that these characteristics i have outlined are right wing? Or that they are only achievable by being Marxist or Anarchist?
