Hey now, I'm a centrist!

I'm just the center of the left. You know, where respect for humanity exists.

(i couldn't resist, sorry)

Centrism is a myth, it’s right wing for people too afraid to call themselves as such.

That's self-identified "Centrists" in the US who inhabit somewhere in the middle of the Overton window. Centrism in less relative terms is generally Liberals and they range from Center Left to Center Right.

But left and right isn't just capitalism vs not capitalism... There's a lot of other factors. But, there's also things like social capitalism and social democracy that keep most of capitalism, while including checks and balances to reduce the destruction of society. I'd expect most centrists to want something like that, even if they don't appreciate/understand the name.

I'm tired of playing nice with people who are okay with a system that outright kills people and needs them to die to be the lubricant in its gears.

Or maybe just pointing out that our "center" is far right.

This is looking at the right.

It appears this is a Centrists are Right Wingers in sheeps clothing post. The opposite of "don't look at what the right's doing".

No, it's that you're not left if you're arguing for keeping capitalism. It's a very low bar to pass.

Leftists disagree with each other on basically every other aspect of how society should run, but not this one.

The bar that almost every Leftist expects you to pass is "exploiting people is wrong" which is an easy fucking purity test if you're not a sociopath.
