Total liberation is a political concept which takes anarchism, anti-capitalism, intersectional feminism, animal liberation, anti-colonialism, and earth liberation (or social ecology); combining each of these movements into one struggle through the construction of a hierarchy-analysis which highlights the parallels between all of the different forms of domination and oppression which these movements oppose. Common examples of structural hierarchies which are identified by total liberationists include the state, capitalism, cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, colonialism/imperialism, and speciesism or anthropocentrism. Proponents of total liberation typically advocate for veganism and creating political change through direct action.

Any person who actually believes that China, North Korea, France, etc, etc,.. are in any way better places to live than the USA. They also believe that communism, socialism and the re-distribution of income is the direction the United States should head in politically. They also enjoy lame attempts at making fun of Anne Coulter and other conservatives. Remember, if it wasn't for free enterprise, private gun ownership, and Americans generally feeling that this is the most kick-ass country in the world, the good old USA wouldn't even exist!!
