I want to make something clear. When the author of the video says left-wing. When they say left-wing, they are talking about establishment Lefty types. Corporate-friendly types. And those people are dangerous. Progressives and other activists seeking to change the Party politics, aren't doxxing anyone.

I tend to call these people, big money leftists.

And I just want to make something clear too.

Reddit is full of progressives, not Corporate-friendly types. Progressives are the ones doxxing.

I am not so sure about all that.

My experience has been the larger left communities on Reddit are definitely prone to favor establishment politics. Lots of people are saying progressive, then will proceed to slap an ugly "Russian agent" label, or attempt other intimidation against anyone challenging the party from the left

We may be talking past one another, hung up on labels too

it's conservadems, true liberals get banned. Hillary lost cuz everyone knew she was too conservative, why not vote for a real conservative instead, or just stay home, which is how it went in the rust belt

if they're a true progressive they support bernie and would not be able to be an admin

This.

Dems, and maybe in this sense, "the left", are divided.

Berners are considered toxic to the party, ignored by media, and many party line Dems will smear and distract with "u r russian" BS, along with "u are why we have Trump" pretty much anytime there is a challenge from the left.

The divide is generally along economic lines too.

Big money has found out it can pretend to be "progressive" by favoring liberal social issues, sometimes to a fault. While at the same time, crushing the working class and poor economically.

Berniecrats, also say they are progressive, but are generally solid left economically. There are some harder lefties out there too, some like Bernie, but want more radical leftism. I digress.

The ones doing the censorship and general BS

neo-liberals + neo-conservatives = conservadems?

I like it. Combined they create a hot "debate" that has an overton window that's limited to pro-authoritarian discussion

neos yeah. neoliberals use shock doctrine and use a crisis to institute privatizations and push austerity, they did this with the 2008 recession. Obama's mom pushed micro loans in malaysia. This is where she made contacts and told people about her son who then ended up working for BIS, a CIA front organization after college, where he was groomed. Neocons mainly want war for israel but their interests align with neoliberals as well so there is overlap. Dems pretend to hate trump but it is all for show, they secretly like how he divides and conquers but he has all the same policies as Obama behind the scenes besides some things that don't matter much. Obamacare will not be repealed, he pretended to rengotiate NAFTA but it will stay.

Except, neoconservatives and neither new nor conservative. They are neoTrotskyites spreading revolutio nand mock democracy around the world. They merely worked under right wing administrations becuase they found that they could hijack the protestants and rile them up for war, which they did. Hence the Christian Zionism we observe today. But yes, neo-liberals (globalists) usually work hand-in-hand with the agendas of the neo-conservatives.

You have the neoliberals pushing huge loans on destroyed couuntries by neo-conservative doctrine with taxpayer money in which the public becomes inddebted.
