And not a soul in these comments noticed that the original post was about the "far left", not "the left". I'm "the left" and think the far left end of the bell curve is a bunch of fruits and nuts.

And I'm the left, and I think the center left are capitalist cryptofascists, hypocrites who virtue signal about social justice to hide their opposition to economic justice, while ultimately achieving neither.

And I think the "far left" are generally good people who seek both social and economic justice. Some of their ideas for attaining justice are both moral and practical, while other ideas are impractical or would do more harm than good.

And I suspect, if I was a right-wing conservative, I would feel the same way about the center right and the far right.

All depends on where you stand, huh?

The "far left" to the person in the post is most probably just anyone left of American corporate democrats. If you think we should have public healthcare, you're ""far left""
