People who vaguely identify with some part of the political left. A jejune term, it is often used by people who think they're socialists despite opposing Marxist-Leninist ideas and refuse to touch socialist theory. They are often misguided Social Democrats and as such are actually pro-Capitalism, not anti-Capitalism.
Socialist: Hey, I'm tryna set up a Dictatorship of the Proletariat with my comrades.
Leftist: NOOO I hate dictatorships! Stalinist!
Socialist: So you don't know what you're talking about? Read theory.
