Like, IDK, despite their political policy ultimately heading that of the foreign and economic policy of the west, they don’t seem to be the type to resist if military conflict were to occur against them, and say, Hexbears win against them…
Perhaps we can use them as a sort of hollow government opposition to laugh at, and claim that “we’re still a liberal democracy”
Whereas I can see right-libs (cons) at least having some sort of shoddy milita, if not military training, who would gladly fight for left-libs, like the Freikorps defending the Weimar Republic, and the Black Hundreds defending Kerensky’s gov’t
Those so called “left” libs are not as friendly to actual leftists as they are republicans and would absolutely fund covert shit to take us out from the inside, all while pretending to be a smol bean concerned about freedom and democracy.
I don’t presuppose that these left libs are friendly to us, but my main point here is that they’re practically toothless, when push comes to shove and the reactionaries aren’t there to defend the bourgeois state, as they seem highly reliant on reactionaries and the like…
They can fund any reactionaries they like, but as soon as you crack down on them, what else are the left-libs gonna do? Complain about their brunches…?
They’re only toothless against the right
