I am very very very left wing, BUT I can get really annoyed with a lot of those "on my side" advocating for the most idealist of all idealism, as if it's a contest. Feels like a competition of "who's the bestest and mostest leftist of all". You scare people away and - not justifying it - but I get why some people get upset with "the left" because of this...
Lenin wrote a great book about such people and their failures to get anything done.
Everytime I see someone say this I know without a shadow of a doubt that they're a centrist liberal.
Lmao this thread is full of "very/hard far left" who then present very cold for a far left takes or are straight out libs.
wrong, I support the green party (multi-party system, you should try it)
So, Social Democrat. I wouldn't call that "left wing," in that it isn't a Socialist platform. It would be "left" in comparison to the status quo, but not enough to be "very very very left wing."
It would be if you'd compare their program to that of the other left parties here
As I said, left of the status quo, but not on the left.
Lol, thanks for proving my point
no, we have another party for that in Belgium (Vooruit). Groen has a leftist program
Groen are center left liberals.
With a program that's more leftist than the actual left party, yes
Oh? Tell me more about their program to overthrow the liberal state and wrestle control of the means of production away from the owning class.
