Yeah, and of the actual colonies America had, they were a tiny size/number compared to European ones. All of India, most of China, all of South America lol
I never said European countries were not colonizers, all I stated was that the US is a genocidal settler-colonial state and you can only do whataboutisms.
Nah, you're directly concerned with attacking leftists and redefining words. Any anti-leftist can be considered a reactionary, but that word might not make sense to you.
I understand we define them differently, but do you fundamentally disagree with the spectrum of "Leftist (revolutionary) -- Progressive -- Conservative -- Reactionary" ?
Rejecting Socialism and the progression towards Worker Ownership is Reactionary behavior. You identify as a progressive, but you oppose all Socialism, and support Liberal Capitalism with robust social safety nets (unless you've pivoted).
How would you distinguish between Manchin Democrats, McCain Republicans, and MAGAs? I would call the former two "conservative" and the latter "reactionary", but if you consider all of them to be reactionary, what labels would you use to differentiate them?
