This is an aside, but something needs to be done about the far-right cribbing from the left. To the majority in the US liberalism = far left = socialism = a whole bunch of other things. While I appreciate the left making itself distinct from Democrats and the establishment, there has to be a better job communicating what these things mean to a flyby reader.

I don’t even come close to having an answer, but it is a persistent problem that should be addressed at some point.

Speaking of which…

Reminder that pre-WWII socialism was significantly Jewish, particularly in the US. That history isn’t just ignored, it’s actively suppressed.
