If you're a liberal, you're not far left, if you're far left, you'd never claim you'd be a liberal. The only far-left ideology who would incorporate quite some liberal ideas would be left-libertarianism.

An appeal to authority is not valid in a discussion, that's true, but questioning an authority ON language is not debunking a fallacy, it's stupidity.

You still are not addressing the merits of the term which still makes your arugment incredibly weak and intellectually lazy. So no, questioning your logical fallacy is not stupidity because so far, all you have done is ad nauseaum assertion.

The term, Regressive Left, is a term that describes a certain people of the left that claim to be liberal, but supports illiberal ideas, tactics, and policies. Those people can include far leftists, but not all Regressive Leftists are far to the left of the political spectrum. In addition, just because a far leftist is not liberal doesn't change the fact that some claim that they are. Your argument is dependent on the claim that zero far leftists claim that they are liberal, but you lack the quantifiable evidence that supports your claim.

You can't be far left and liberal at the same time. Liberals support the continuation of capitalism, even if they want more welfare measures and social services, while the far left want its total elimination.
