Radlib

Short for Radical Liberal. Used as an insult among leftist groups for people who claim to be radicals or leftists, often to feel good about themselves, but express liberal, uninformed or otherwise non-leftist views about important topics such as capitalism, reformism vs revolution, lgbtq+ rights, gender politics, or sometimes just people who support Joe Biden.

Person 1: "I'm pro socialism but I think communism is just too far"
Person 2: "OK Radlib"

RadLib

A bourgeois person who identifies himself as a 'radical centrist,' one who shuns political principles or ideology in favor of seeking common ground with the radical right (fascists), their natural class allies.

1) The fascists want to exterminate 1 million workers, the Socialist left wants to save them from extermination, but the 'radlib' says we should compromise, and only kill 100,000.

2) The 'radlib' finds it problematic to push marginalized people to the left, they find this to be a form of violence which ignores the intersectionality of POC in the post-modernist epoch

Radlib

A radical cultural liberal. One who advocates for radically altering culture to adopt extreme liberal culture while rejecting normative culture. Adoption of these extremes views are characterized as progressive by the liberals, but degenerate by social conservatives.

Radlib culture primarily revolves around human sexuality, with Radlibs typically advocate for queer culture, polyamory, emasculation, inversion of power ( physical weakness is superior, females are masculine, etc) and promotion of transient relationships.

Radlibs actively reject traditional/normative values such as traditional family structure, serial monogamy, strength in men, Christian culture, nurture role of women, and accountability based on personal history.

Radlibs have a history of co-opting labor movements (the basis of leftism), tying improvement of wages and work conditions, to promotion of queerness and rejection of the normative culture practiced by the majority workers.

We were trying to have a labor demonstration to address unsafe labor practices, but the radlibs hijacked it to give a long-winded speech on queer inclusion in the workplace.
