leftism is on other sites but very little of it here. Even in our socialist progressives group we have a mix of Marxists and Anarchists.

It is more of a fight between centrists and FDR dems on here ... the individualism even pervades there and I believe this is due to the constant propaganda in this country. It is easier for the very wealthy to split us into camps fighting each other if we are focused on the individual and that is why it continues imo.
