Just for fun, listen to the clip and guess if Matt makes the case for fascism in it.

    She calls herself a "leftist" as if she knows what that means :agony:

      That term has become so watered down and co-opted that neoliberals sometimes call themselves leftists, and they don't even seem to get much pushback for it. I'd almost like to just throw the term away, but I want a handy general term for socialists, communists, and anarchists. Maybe I should just explicitly say "anti-capitalists", that might genuinely be better.

        Had a centrist friend of mine call himself a 'leftist'. Like, what the fuck are communists then? Outside the realm of physical existence?
