Kowani? Hana? Torra? (Yes, Torra has posted in RWDT in the last year.) That’s...at least three.

I honestly did it out of habit. I don’t have a problem calling you Torra. I think Procto and Nap did it out of habit as well.

You're very lenient.

Kowani, Torra...ok. But tbh, I'd consider Hana to be RWDTer herself.....

Social democrats are still comrades.

They're welfare capitalists at best. Useful for being an entryway to deeper leftism, but not much more.

More like a detraction from deeper (economic) leftism.

Imagine unironically thinking economic collectivism is the "Deeper" form of leftism.

It can be, but not universally.

Social democracy is a bandage on a broken glass, the water will still escape. Capitalism is the antithesis to morality.

Even if that were true -and both statements are debatable at best-, that is irrelevant to whether or not authoritarian collectivism is in any way "deep" in term of leftist ideologies.

You’d have to define “deep” for that, no?

You're part of the Enlightened Centrist Thread With Ancap Characteristics :^)

Authoritarians have handily proven that they cannot be trusted to maintain socialism.

I see. Wait, didn't that thread die a year ago at about 20 pages?

This is my take. They're critical of capitalism enough that their goals will not, at least in the long term, be a hindrance to the goals of the left - more rights for organizing, better wages, pushing for free universal health and pharmacare, etc. Which is why the likes of Bernie Sanders (although I honestly would consider Sanders to be more radical than the regular Scandinavian-style social democrat/New Deal Progressive) are definitely comrades in my book.

The ultimate centrist - but also not a centrist.

I would say you belong a bit more to the LWDT than the RWDT because you post there more often.
