Too bad the left has never had power in the US

Neoliberals don't want or allow things to improve

It's because we lefties say completely justified mean things about so-called 'centrists', and criticizing the literal record of centrism is tantamount to insulting a centrist's identity.

The centrists made up the term so they wouldn't have to face the fact that they're conservatives.

You vote left because you want the best for the general good of society, you vote right because you want what's best for yourself, in particular.

You vote right because you want the people you don't like to suffer.

The sad thing is, that's not even true.

Most poor world be better off under left wing ideals, yet they vote right wing anyway because they're scared that brown people will steal their crumbs.

It is true for the general disposition. Do you vote in your own interests vs do you vote in the general best interest. Your motivations may be malicious or incompetent, a two party system doesn't discern.

They vote right because cable news told them it's best for themselves. It's not.

That's not far left IMO, that's just left. This is a recurring problem we have in France too, where medias call "far left" parties that are just left. This is a slippery slope, the one on which Overton window slips towards the (far) right...

Far left is: "We're going to destroy the very concept of private ownership and wealth accumulation"

"... to meet everyone's basic needs"

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 30 points 20 hours ago (30 children)

"..."
"To meet everyone's basic needs, right?"
