    Liberalism is also associated with things like the abolition of slavery, universal suffrage, LGBT+ rights

    Communists had to pry these concessions from liberalism with organized violence, don’t pretend like liberalism did these things.

      Honest question: when did communists use organized violence to abolish slavery? To win LGBT+ rights?

        A lot of radical abolitionists were communists

        The lgbt liberation movement would wave the flag of the legitimate vietnamese government during the US invasion. Marsha Johnson, Leslie fienberg, communists.
