That isn't how the political spectrum works.
That wasn't my claim? I explicitly said Liberals aren't Leftists. Leftists are Leftists.My point is that your claim that all liberals are "leftists" is factually wrong.
And Centrists are Centrists. And Liberals are Liberals. Also, it was quite clear I meant Centrists, not Leftists. Don't play coy.That wasn't my claim? I explicitly said Liberals aren't Leftists. Leftists are Leftists.
So your claim is now that Centrists are Leftists?And Centrists are Centrists. And Liberals are Liberals. Also, it was quite clear I meant Centrists, not Leftists. Don't play coy.
No, what I'm saying is that I intended for my post to say:So your claim is now that Centrists are Leftists?
Which is what it now says, since I've edited it to make it more clear. Is that not what you did earlier this same day or last night?My point is that your claim that all liberals are "centrists" is factually wrong.
Yet you have yet to prove that all Liberals are Centrists...I mean I understand what you're saying, I'm just making fun of it because you're wrong.
For the same reason I have no reason to "prove" that fascists are Right or Maoists are Left.Yet you have yet to prove that all Liberals are Centrists...

There are 2 kinds of liberal.
Social Liberal and Classical Liberal. This is what the left/right political spectrum looks like:
Socialists/Communists/Other Failed System that people say isn't real socialism, Progressives/Social Democrats, Social Liberal | Centrists | Classical Liberal, Conservatives, Theocrasy and similar failed purity driven ideology.

..... Nein zat iss not how ziss works at all.
Centrism iss not an ideology.
It is, however, where someone that doesn't fit on either side. If you want a free market but also want single payer or state run utilities or something you certainly aren't on the right... but you also aren't on the left.
That's why I called it a spectrum, not a list of ideologies(social dem isn't an ideology either).
Nein, zat vould make you a Social Democrat, what you just descibed. It's what the European left as a whole and apart of the democratic party (bernie and his ilk) are.
Centrism means you are in some perfect middle, which does not exist since no one can define what the ends are.
Right and left are economy, progressive and reactionary are social policies. Stalinists are social reactionary (ish) and economic left (very), while "liberals" are economic right and socially progressive (ish).
What you are theoretically describing would make the person a light social democrat.
Spectrum. See that, how green, yellow, and some red is in the center? It's not an exact center.
You know what? Fuck it, no point in talking to a brick wall
