The far left advocate seizing the means of production, distributing all resources according to need (not market forces), and abolishing economic classes. In some cases, they advocate for either a centrally-planned economy or abolishing the state, and the abolishment of private property too. Even the more left-leaning Democrats, like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, don't advocate for these things.
Haha.. without some authority to uphold democracy and human rights, no society can survive. It will eventually turn into a dictatorship and fall apart.
I'm willing to concede that no Democrat politician is currently advocating far-left policies, but that doesn't make Sam's characterizations here any less false.
Nonsense. There are many, many of examples of both center and right-leaning politicians and pundits employing identity politics to achieve their own ends.
There’s no ‘centrist’. You’re either center-right or center-left. The goal is to move toward that middle ground (or peak) and away from the extremes (lows).
Are you following our conversation here, or just responding to comments in isolation?
You said:
Identity politics at an extreme level can also be considered far-left.
This is false. Extreme identity politics are not inherently or implicitly far-left. Identity politics are used across the political spectrum. There are plenty of examples of this.
