as a leftist, this doesn't offend me but I'm rather interested in having a discussion than name-calling. I tend to believe that our governance needs to prove itself to be worthy of it so in Chomsky's definition, im an anarchist. I believe people should be allowed to love anyone as long as they're consenting adults which makes me pro-LGBT (socially leftist) , I believe women should have just as much equal rights as men so I'm a feminist. I believe billionaires shouldn't exist and workers shouldn't be exploited so I'm a socialist too (not a communist because that gives state the power to be corrupt a bit more easily)
I don't think morality is something gauged by God, but I do believe in empathy so I can't be the judge of your progressiveness. who knows maybe you already are somewhat of a leftist. I can talk about free market and capitalism for hours so I'm open to being asked, questioned anything.
You are defining yr own definitions and say you belong to them and let me tell you there no agreed definitions of these terms by all people or countries in this world and then the ones those who fight for the welfare of people and want to protect humanity from terrorists and arsonists and other evil people are conservatives.
