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
