6281 - Far Left


I don't see much of the Far Left you hear talk about. I'm left of center but not nearly as far left as some.


These people are as crazy as tRUMPers.

  1. I am also left of centre but not that far. Not nearly that far. And don't hear a lot about (or from) those who are.

  2. I, too, am a bit left of center, although I reject the craziness of the far left as I reject the craziness of the far right. Both are dangerous.

  3. Extremists are always dangerous and dysfunctional, whether on the right or on the left. There is an inherent predilection for authoritarianism in both.

  4. I think the center has moved.
    I am farther left than I used to be, but I haven't really changed my politics that much.
    Maybe it's that the far right has dominated the right and the middle left still controls the left.
    Idk.

  5. The center of any situation is the place to be.

  6. I've always considered myself to be left of center as well. As John A Hill notes above, it may be that the center has moved over time and what was once seen as "moderate left" is now seen as "radical" and "conservative" is now considered "liberal". See the concept "Overton Window" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window)

  7. Yes, both extremes come very close together in the horseshoe chart. We got to stop listening to The crazies on both extremes and go back to good old common Sense and consensus agreement and getting stuff done. I'm hoping this election Will deliver Us from maga

  8. Amused that Marxists are calling for the abolishment of prisons. Didn't one big Marxist country have a lot of prisons in a place called Siberia? (Though to be fair, those prisons were there before and after Marxism too.)
