What does "leftist" mean?

We're not that bad once you talk to us. Government is at best a means to an end. If I had it my way, I would reduce the fiscal power of the government wherever I could without compromising important protections like universal healthcare and education from K through college. Important things that we advocate are democratic workplaces (workers owning the means of production doesn't sound so bad now, does it?), LGBT rights and the dismantling of the military-industrial complex. See tags for flavors of leftists.

Most of these other definitions just go to show that many haven't departed from the Cold War mindset. Leftist.

Leftist - what does it mean?

Someone who thinks liberty is found through government controls in economics; which makes no sense. They also beleive liberty pertaining to drugs, abortion, and prostitution is found through the lack of government which makes much sense.

Liberals are half cool.

Leftist

A person who simultaneously advocates for radical individualism, and radical egalitarianism.

Radical individualism being the exhuberant (and often jealous) exercising of personal freedoms without a sense of responsibility to human history, immutable principles, or the society around them. The individual tends more to emphasize personal *rights*, while neglecting personal *responsibilities.* When widely adopted, this leads to social/cultural decay.

Radical egalitarianism is the advocation of equality of *outcome* rather than equality of *opportunity* and, often unconsciously, seeks to persecute those who have achieved more than others with the hand they've been dealt. Thus the desire for the biggest kid on the block (government) to impose, whether by force of law or bullets, an elastic concept of "fairness" on achieving citizenry.

While, at their core, the two concepts are often at odds, they are emphasized at different times, which circumvents this conflict.

Leftists very often view such figures as Marx, Castro, Chavez and their ilk with sympathy, if not admiration.

"Its very difficult to speak to my dad. He fought in WWII and I'm a leftist, so there's just this huge philosophical gulf." :\

"Yeah, I know the Inquisition killed, like, 3000 people over a coupla hundred years, but it just flabberghasted me how many millions were killed in leftist regimes in just the 20th century!"

Leftist

A group of radicals on the left in the US. Includes anarchists, communists, socialists, marxists, etc. Often anti-capitalism and cannot paraphrase their 50 books of theory. Leftists usually have pipe dreams of overthrowing the US government and think 98% of the US population agrees with their stupid ideologies. They, along with the far-right, are often seen as complete jokes (as they should be).

Leftist Communist Emily: I really hate big corporations. The US should become a communist society, I'm sure it wouldn't collapse!

Leftist Anarchist Joe: I really hate the government's control on us. I believe I should be able to murder and rape anyone legally.

Leftist

Similar to a liberal in that this represents left-wing viewpoint on the political spectrum, but self-identified leftists are typically more anti-capitalist than liberals. Sometimes used by right-wingers as a derogatory term.

A lot of leftists I've talked to really don't like Hillary Clinton.
