Ah, the weekly "far left is the best and everyone else is wrong" post.
Heck I would be happy with even so much as “left of center” which we don’t really have in the United States. Biden is right of center. Bernie sanders for example is only slightly left of center.
I'd argue Bernie is slightly right of center, even. He isn't advocating for Socialization of the economy, just an expansion of the safety nets.
Nah man. Left of center is not that at all. United States citizens are pretty left wing when it comes to policy when you take away language of dems and cons.
Left of center basically means any candidate where the democrats are saying, yea but if you vote for the other guy it will be ten times worse. So, Biden and every democrat candidate for 40 years
I edited to say left not right lol
What policy is left wing? Left of center is Socialism.
You believe slightly left of center is socialism? How does it feel to be so damn clueless?
The center would be a 50/50 mix of Worker owned industry and Capitalist owned industry, like a form of extremely socialized Social Democracy. To the left of that, you have a majority Socialist economy, to the right of that you have a majority Capitalist economy.
Simple as.
Oversimplifying a bit
How so?
I apologize for not being right wing enough for you.
You should apologize for not being able to take criticism(wether good or bad faith), as someone is criticizing your message for a left wing cost, and your super mature response is "Hurr, durr no you're right wing". You're on Lemmy where most of the users are leaning left and the commentar might be as well, but that's not good enough for you.
You're right. What is most needed in a memes community is sober, serious, mature discussion.
Oh, not at all. I am not right wing neither, I just don't have a superiority complex
Ah yes, a centrist
Maybe, definitely not a leftist though!
“waa the party of hate is being picked in for being hateful! waaaaa”
ftfy
It's correct, so it makes sense.
Well I don't think so...
Then you'd be incorrect.
Lol
Have you ever seen far left in your life? What you call far left barely gets center-right in sane countries, usually it's called just right there.
OMG, with this being the millionth your version of left/right isn't mine, can we pick a new scale?
There has got to be a better way to frame ideology that's more consistent or universal.

Agreed. When it was monarchism/anti-monarchism it made sense. Now not so much.
Well but why the holier than thou attitude in this thread against everything non far left? I live in moderately right wing country in EU, and every basic need is met. Not everybody lives in the US
Ah. Ok. What is moderately right wing in Europe in USA is called far left.
I can agree to that. The USA is in shambles right now and I agree that pure capitalism greed is ruining it. Nontheless, like in Reddit, everything in here seems to be about the US, even when this is supposed to be an international community. Not my fault that I live in a civilized country
How in fuck's name is wanting to get everyone's basic needs met supposed to be far left..!?
Are basic human decency and common sense far left now too..?
I agree with you. The post itself implies that the far left is the only one that cares about that.
The problem is that commies think immediately I am a right wing supporter from the US, and won't consider anything else.
If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck...
