Liberals pose as leftists in order to define the leftmost limit of acceptable politics in a capitalist society - at best pushing just a few broken-by-design reforms to temporarily take the edge off. Actual leftists want the forces of democracy to overrun capitalism completely and permanently, rather than make futile attempts to appease it as the liberals do. Capitalist governments can only allow real leftists token representation at the most, and usually not even that, as it is imperative the ‘common sense’ be maintained that capitalist relations emerge from nature rather than from constant, feverish maintenance on the part of the propertied classes who stand to benefit.
You aren’t on a corporate platform where you can talk like an american cable news pundit without anyone pointing out how ridiculous you sound.
You are confused.
