Found this graph online for anyone who might still be confused. I think this makes it much more clear.

    This graph needs updating tbh. Bernie is not centerleft lol. And Obama and Hillary are far right as well. Tax cuts, dronebombings, imperialism and so on. The atrocities in Libya, the coup in Ukraine and all the other heinous shit. Don’t let pinkwashing fool you gayroller-2000

    Them cutting ACORN or giving bailouts to banks in 2008… It’s incredible what good PR does to the perception of these monsters.

        He is center right by the standards I have put forth, so definitionally not all standards.
        Regarding your second point, I’d like to say it sounds like you haven’t had much interaction with leftists or left-wing political theory, considering your response.

          My grandpas were partisan, my father in Democrazia proletaria, police have pics of me at 4 in a general strike. We occupied schools and fabrics. I grew in a trozkjist family. My friend, you have no idea was it is the left.

            Neat! I hang out with communist guerillas and a friend of mine carried out some sabotages when he was young and now he’s a union organizer. Also my dick is larger than yours. Also also you’re not my friend, fuck off with the condescension and, once again, educate yourself. Having family that has been politically involved does not mean you suddenly have an integral understanding of politics.
            Considering the many Eastern European chuds I’ve met, it’s honestly more likely the opposite is the case.

            Edit: I cannot imagine being proud of associating with trots lol. Does explain your lack of political understanding though.

              Tou are nist probabky american. One can tell. Never occupied a school, never occupied your work of place, never been in permanent assembly or auto managed context. That is why u understood nothing of what I said. You system is failing you and damaging the world thanks to trotzijist and communist parties in europe we have 36 hours, medical leaves, vacations and worker rights. You guys go bankrupt for an ambulance. That’s why im proud of coming from a certain background. I would suggest YOU to study something. Start with Marx, cowboy.
