The entire problem is that progressive liberals and social Democrats are actually worlds closer to left-lib types than MLs, but MLs cannot allow that narrative to exist at any level, be it explicit or inferred.
And that’s not to say libertarian leftists are even that close ideologically to progressive liberals. It’s more how absolutely massive the gap is between them and the authoritarian left.
Solid point here. The authoritarian axis is a real motherfucker when it comes to political divisiveness. Left v right doesn’t have the same impact as authoritarian v libertarian on the political compass, as flawed as the Nolan model and its derivatives might be. Nationalists are a danger regardless of which wing they claim to represent.
