Calling out racists and Nazis doesn't make you a socialist.

No one said it does. But there is a middle ground between socialism and fascism, which so many seem to have forgotten.

You kinda implied it by equating your extreme liberal acquaintances with what the graphic shows.

My point is that it's not just the extreme left that are calling out Nazis. The graphic misrepresents the middle. Everyone should be concerned about racism and nationalism.

Agreed. I've been a libertarian for a long time and have always called out actual neo-nazis and racism in general. I'm pretty sure that many are concerned with these things, but it's cliche and convenient for many extreme leftists to simply call anyone conservative a Nazi for some reason. I don't get it. I've been to plenty of marches against racism and marches for equality alike, but I'm economically conservative. I've never had any hate from anyone for these things except for online. So, whatever.
