    No, I hate the term as it’s usually used as a pejorative and is so reductive as to be essentially meaningless. I’m a democratic socialist.

      That’s a leftist. You’re a leftist, buddy.

      I relate a bit, though. I think it’s cringe when socialists call each other “comrade”.

        Is a communist the same as a progressive? A democratic socialist the same as an anarchist? Call me what you want but like I said, it’s reductive and meaningless.
