Ideological Leftists generally do not consider themselves "Liberals". In fact they're pretty clear that they consider "Liberals" the enemy, despite Leftism being a branch of Liberalism (The "Worker" can't be free until everyone has Civil Rights, The "Worker" can't even organize or write Leftist Philosophy without Liberalism existing).
Modern Leftism is a confusing mixture of state-pushed (read: CN/RU) propaganda and ideologies that make no sense in the real world.

Okay, so then liberalism is a version of feudalism and leftists should be defenstrating these people in the name of free trade
Oh I do love it when liberals forget their own history.
I know what words mean!
