You're "just not that into politics?" Your boss is. Your landlord is. Your insurance company is. And every day they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise your rent, and deny you coverage. Its time to get into politics. #TrySocialism

Typically in the US, if you're more “liberal” then you're more left. But that's not how socialists use the word. Liberals tend to only want to tweak capitalism. As if it's just misbehaving. Socialists see capitalism as operating as designed and in need of replacement.
