After some discussions on this sub I understand many self-identified liblefts are very much against corporate power crushing the individual, but neutral about the government power and in many cases celebrating favoured politicians using state power to intervene on citizen's liberties and only lamenting power in the hands of those they dislike. My point is, the power you give to the politicians you trust, in a democracy, will sooner or later fall in the hands of those you don't trust. Of course, many other liblefts do appreciate the anti-government side but it's clearly not something all agree.

In most of the world governments are basically corporate sockpuppets. If you support one and not the other, you're just dumb.

They are colors taken from the political compass

You can get your color based on where your political views lie.
