Depends on beliefs but they’re socio-culture progressive. They can be anti-capitalists to wanting strong safeguards for social and cultural policies from its interference. Classical liberalism is a more moderate stance and neo-liberalism is a conservative moderate stance.
Common terminology is leftist, progressive, Marxist, Leninist, Communist, Socialist. There’s actually more descriptors but those are some of the bigger ones. It’s more nuanced compared to conservative politics which are pro-capitalist and some outright fascist. Don’t confuse authoritarianism with just a single ideology, it exists as a different spectrum from left and right. Just that more often than not right wing politics scale along it but we still have those on the left we call tankies who are authoritarian left.
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”
― Karl Marx
Essentially, leftists should like guns. Guns are the only real tool they have to bite back. Gun control typically believed in are better screenings, especially for mental health issues in a person that makes them a danger to themselves or others. Safety courses and handling courses. It’s wide as well but when it comes down to it, it’s typically been neo-liberals and liberals who call for heavier, more restrictive gun control or outright bans.
Most leftists wouldn’t want too much restriction because such restrictions have been historically made to keep arms out of the hands of people of color. In fact, the reason California is so restrictive is it’s typically neo-liberally ran, and the Mulford Act that was passed when Black Panthers were patrolling their neighborhood armed to ward away racist police. Our wonderful racist shitbag actor Reagan signed that into law and it was near unanimous voting on the state level.
Essentially you’ll find leftists more open to gun ownership but more emphasis on safety and care of such ownership. Liberals and neo-liberals have been the ones pushing for a general disarmament of the USA with certain sections of the right wanting it to remove the power to defend oneself from state sanctioned violence. Namely in marginalized and vulnerable communities.
Trump is only something to benefit Trump, he holds no values. So your shit stirring attempts don’t really hit the mark.
And what does this have to do with gun control? And how does this benefit Trump? Or is this some more red team vs blue team bs?
Man, can’t even maintain consistency and you still fall into the trap of labeling the left as liberal when it has a clear political definition.
Your telling me the left isn’t liberal? What are they then?

Thanks for describing one half of the scale at least lol What does this have to do with gun control?

Didn’t convince anything, I already knew this all and agreed with it as a core of my philosophy.
