I love these three socialist lemmies. So I’m posting this here. Not sure how well or how mixed a reception this will get here. Not sure if the right place to post it. Plausibly shall step on some toes (with the bottommost instance of “not my left”) a bit. And I imagine there may be some responses nitpicking that 3 of the "not my left"s are more left than “my left” ~ to which I say, misses the point. Anyhoo… enjoy, or don’t. I strive to protect your freedom to receive things however you wish. Love that bitch called interpretation. ;D But I do hope it sparks some interesting thought, discussion, and maybe even is a useful tool. At the very least, it’ll help (a bit) to explain what I mean when I keep saying “not my left”, to those who misrepresent the authoritarian left as “the left”, or even really really misrepresent by calling the nowadays so-called “liberal” (left side of authoritarian right) as “the left”.

    +1 egalitarian liberation.

    Free and free alike, beats free to unfree.

    (I usually say that with regards to the bifurcation of Free Software licenses/philosophies, preferring copyleft [free and free alike] over permissive [free to unfree]… but it works here too [where the “alike” is more related to the egalitarianism, than the ongoing freedom assurance]. Heh.)

        The issue is that you cannot enforce this equity when unequality arrises

        “We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.” – Mikhail Bakunin
