Leftist? You do realise that there hasn't been a left in America for a long time, don't you?

I perfectly understand the alignment of political forces in the United States, and if you came here to try to convince me otherwise, then you either don’t understand anything about political trends, or you’re doing it for money.

That's why I replied that you will get a European perspective. The perspective of someone from the country of former socialist Yugoslavia. It is funny when you talk about the left narrative and at the same time describe the typical liberal degeneration into which capitalist "democracy" keeps falling.

In our milieu, the left is an anti-NATO, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-colonialist force that stands for greater equality (economically, equal initial opportunities) for all people, not just some. In reality, it is a very conservative, free-thinking, anti-systemic position that believes this can be achieved through work.
