Why do Black liberals love the word “unapologetic” so much when their whole politic is an apology to the ruling class?

Nah, this reads something out of /r/FULL_COMMUNISM.
It's basically "These wishy-washy status-quo-reinforcing liberals who try to limit the damage done by markets instead of just getting rid of them entirely are worse than the fascists. At least the fascists are honest about their intentions, and thus not affective at getting labor on their side. The liberals are far more dangerous."
Do you other commenters not get that "liberal" is the word far-left folks use to discredit those who are on their side, but insufficiently radical? "Liberal" means "told me that setting fire to stuff is not a legislative plan". It means "questioned the ordering of my list of who will be first, second, and third against the wall". It means "pointed out that my opinion was unsupported by factual data".
I say this as a big ol' liberal, which is to say a pragmatist in 21st-century America. I want a fair shake for everyone, I don't want a plutocracy or corporate feudalism, I want a decent life and human dignity for every person. Which makes me a flaming communist according to the current American right wing.
I just don't think that this can be accomplished via mass murder, or via being an asshole to 99% of the people on earth, which makes me a "liberal" according to Twitter people who are woke in the same sense that people on meth are awake.
The difference, and this is important, is that the left doesn't elect those people to legislative office, and the right does.
....when their whole politic is an apology to the ruling class?
Huh? Calling out the ruling class is not apologizing, goofus.
But seriously; I have a feeling that the OP thinks the "ruling class" is "Liberal".
Liberal Democrats in Japan: Conservatives.
Liberal Democrats in Russia: Hardline Nationalists.
Liberal Democrats in Australia: The equivalent of the Teabaggers/Trumptards in the US.
Liberal Democrats in Britain: not left (Labour) or right (Conservative), but 'Middle-of-the road'.
Here endeth the lesson.
Confused?
