            I’m still not sure I follow what group counts as liberal on different parts of Lemmy, but does liberal to you include e.g. democratic socialists? Social democrats? Non-revolutionary socialist orgs?

            Or are liberals free-market small-state types?

              Social democrats yes, democratic socialists no. Liberals are pro private ownership of the means of production.

          Certainly! You can start by asking fully formed questions instead of just saying the word “unionisation” like it’s some sort of ‘gotcha’.

            It was not at all meant as a gotcha. Let me reformulate: “Which issues in particular are you referring to? The class struggle leads to a plethora of important societal issues to address, and I am interested in hearing some particular examples. One such example could be the issue of unionisation, which holds a great deal of nuance across political contexts around the world, and therefore is a particularly interesting microcosm of this topic.”

            If I had known that my question would be understood as hostile, I would certainly have put in more time to clarify what I meant. I’m still not sure why my question is hostile?
