can you be a leftist and a bitcoiner at the same time?

I think it's possible but it's not going to be easy to get them and hold those onboard 😂👌
To be fair, many leftists don't understand leftism
Good question. Clear answer: of course. Bitcoin is not political; it is a neutral protocol.
To go into detail: I distinguish between the goals on one hand and the ways of achieving them on the other. When I talk to people who see themselves as leftists, their goals are usually things like financial inclusion, protecting the rights and opportunities of hard-working or disadvantaged people, supporting those in oppressed states, and promoting a sustainable, resource-conserving way of life.
The only issue is that they (so far) don’t know or don’t understand Bitcoin as the solution. Instead, they mistakenly hope that fiat money, more fiat money (debt), redistribution, central control, and a strong state will deliver those goals.
Admittedly, it takes humility, intellect, and the ability to learn to recognize and accept a new, better solution. And to acknowledge that the fiat path is the wrong one. But that learning process is something we must allow everyone to go through. After all, we were all no-coiners once.
Left and right is a old, dated and wrong concept used to divide us as people
