But if you throw everyone you disagree with into the liberal basket, you’ve taken the easy way out.
Okay, but we’re not doing that. We’re not calling anarchists or other socialists liberals.
We are however calling social democrats liberals, because welfare capitalism is still capitalism.

I think we should admit that there is some oversensitivity with regard to perceived liberal agendas and that sometimes this gives way to reductionist characterisation and dismissal of opposition in our communities. I also do not think that admitting as such is anything tantamount to the tankie critique from the liberals (see what I did there?), which is even worse on this exact issue.

That’s fair and I agree with you. I have made different experiences as well, unfortunately, but if I throw you in the same basket, I’m not exactly practicing what I preach lol
