    1. Theres is no far left in the US, Bernie and AOC are run of the mill social democrats
    2. The extreme left and right both lie to get to power, once there is the same shit, I was born in a country freshly out of a far right dictatorship and grew up in another that got themselves in a far left dictatorship. Same thing, extreme poverty for the people, opression, censorhip, persecution, murder. The message was good , they’ve promissed unicorns and rainbows and now here we are, my family had to run away and is now spread across the globe. Fuck the extremes, they are the same fucking thing exactly.

    I myself become a hard core social liberal, but can get along with social democrats, classic liberals and conservatives, other than that steer clear

      Bless.

      The extreme left wants state managed fascism to the benefit of in groups, and the extreme right wants wealth managed fascism to the benefit of in groups. We’re just so used to choosing between the mild right and the extreme right that we’ve begun to confuse the mild left - the political group who wants to meet everyone’s basic needs - for the extreme.

      I’m tired of seeing run-of-the-mill social democracy paraded around as “the far left.”
