Nice buzzword, but it's not me gatekeeping anything. Thats what leftism has meant since the phrase neoliberalism has existed. Im not the one who made the definition, you're just ignoring it.

Words mean what people think they mean. "Decimate" means to remove 10% of something but everyone uses it as a synonym for annihilate. You need to understand that the vast majority of people see "liberals" and "leftists" as the same thing. Your conspiracy about obfuscation is cute but you're giving people too much credit.

vast majority

Only if you are an exceptionalist usian. Liberals are not the left in most parliaments around the world.

If words mean only what people think they mean then according to near or more than half the country Biden is in fact a communist. Words have meaning, Biden isn't a Communist and liberalism and leftism are different things.

You need to understand that the vast majority of people see “liberals” and “leftists” as the same thing.

Maybe 2% of people think that, it just seems like a common position because every one of them is on Reddit.
