@nyar you're overthinking it, 'left' was merely one of the sides of an auditorium where representatives seated themselves in a self-organizing way, choosing seats near others who shared their beliefs
also what do you mean this isn't the french revolution, there's literally a monarchist plot to reinstall a king with the help of church leaders and sheriffs, people are protesting in the boulevards, bread is unaffordable, guillotine memes are in
also also please apologize for pushing maoism
@nyar @dactylotheca a leftist is pro-democracy, anti-monarchy, anti-theocracy
leftism emerged as a coherent position during the french revolution as a common ground for the revolutionary coalition
also friends don't let friends be maoists, the environment can't take another round of that sort of thing
