Then what the hell is up with these anti-liberal comments?

Communists are anti-liberal.

Liberalism as a political philosophy is the underpinning of capitalism.

We can't destroy capitalism without doing away with it's political philosophy.

As an aside, from this perspective both American liberals and conservatives are liberals - they both spring from the philosophy of liberalism.

I understand that it's confusing to hear criticism of the Democrats from the left - it's relatively uncommon in the U$.

No I think you misunderstood. I agree with your idealogy. But to talk shit about liberals, when we are liberals who actually lean left (unlike Democrats who are moderates in disguise), well that's just plain dumb. It makes you sound like a Trumpanzee.

I'm a liberal, and I'm also a proud socialist. And so are you.

Edit: Y'all are missing the point. There's no reason for all this infighting. Communist, Socialist, Liberal, or whatever; we need to stop arguing over the differences and band together to stop the rise of Fascism. Some of these replies make me worried that a lot of you will vote for 3rd parties in the next election and effectively hand the votes over to Trump. Please don't do that.
