liberal or leftist?

lately Iโ€™ve noticed a lot of people calling themselvesย leftistsย when their views are actually much closer toย liberalism. and honestly? itโ€™s been getting on my nerves. liberal and leftist politics overlap in some places, but theyโ€™re not the same thing and the differences really matter.

thatโ€™s why I made this quiz: to help people see where they truly land. if youโ€™ve got a few minutes, iโ€™d love for you to take this quiz and see where you stand. you might be further left (or more liberal) than you thought.

I got "Social Reformer" on the quiz

I think leftist vs liberal comes down to redistributing wealth for full equity. If you're an Obama/Biden Democrat, you're a liberal. If you're more of a Mamdani/Bernie Democrat, you're a leftist. The more socialized stuff is less necessary and more arbitrary. For example, while Karl Marx (a father of leftism) was very pro-gun, modern leftism rejects gun ownership.
