What makes Zuckerberg or any of those people leftists? A mission statement? Companies put stickers on trucks that say "we care" but we don't have to assume they actually care.

What actions have they taken to advance an anti-capitalist cause? Has Zuckerberg given up his riches to the cause of socialism?

Leftist doesn't equal anti-capitalist, although a lot of times they go hand-in-hand because leftists tend to be losers that can't hack it in a capitalist society.

they're extreme left socialist progressives

they have started a world war, a famine, blew up norad 2, are creating a civil war in the usa, are organizing massive population crisises, socially engineering total chaos and and have managed the exchange of weapons and money for every war in the last 100 years at the very least.

All in the name of setting up a centralized system to protect the world from the dangerous of unfettered capitalism in a global market.

In what way? Can you identify the actions or policies they have adopted that makes you say that?

If you scroll down, it says right there on the page, this:

Why we need the 'Davos Manifesto' for a better kind of capitalism
"We should seize this moment to ensure that stakeholder capitalism remains the new dominant model."

Brave position for an anti-capitalist

I think you and I see the left differently.

Like when you think of the left, you think of all the people who you and I agree are totally the morally right and wonderful examples of the human condition.

But when I think of the left, I think of how all that has been completely taken advantage of by a group of trillionares who's good intentions have been twisted due to a life of luxury and greed, into a nightmarish version of anything you'd ever agree is good and moral.

That's what I reckon.

I feel like we're going in circles. This was my critique of your "parties flipped" thing. You say potato, I say potato. Lol.

Love it when right wing dudes try to gatekeep the other side, haha. The internal leftist debates are up to the left, not the people who aren't welcome among the left.

I don't tell the conservatives how to eat one another, I just clap when they do

Maybe they are short on the rejuvenation potions made from fresh fully grown, terrified baby.
