      Pedro Pascal is related to Allende and his family fled Chile to the US when Pinochet seized power. Between that and his support for trans rights, it’s pretty safe to say he’s some variety of leftist.

          Could be what he says for the camera, or he could be someone who doesn't know nor care about the distinction. Typically though I have low faith in rich celebrities

          The word liberal is basically synonymous with the word leftist in US politics, like it or not. I certainly don't, but someone calling themselves a liberal isn't immediately discounting because of that.

            Didn't the term "liberal" for "vaguely left" originate from American communists calling themselves liberals as a dog whistle?

      You could say his communist arc started over a year ago when he supported Boric and then Apruebo

      (Yeah none of this things are communist per se but supporting the communist allied candidate and calling to reject Pinochet's constitution are the communists things to do at that point)
