Funny you say that as the party currently holding power in France is center-right relatively to the political landscape in the country. Maybe your ideas of what's right, left, and far-right/left might not be as accurate as you think they are.
Also far-left and left are obviously different no matter the baseline, so conflating the two is pretty simplistic (and wrong).
- agsdfgsd 8y agoFunny that you completely ignore my simple query and instead repeat two fallacies that have already been addressed. I am using the definition of left wing given by wikipedia. You can argue that is wrong if you like, but pretending it is me that is uniquely wrong is silly. And I did not conflate far left and left at any point in any way. I stated very clearly that far left is taking the left wing position to its extreme, and then gave the wikipedia definition of left wing, which is what needs to be taken to extreme to be "far left". Lets look at the reality of France. The people of France are in open revolt against the government over its left wing policy. The people are clearly to the right of the ruling class. That doesn't sound very center right does it? Just because the parties in France are all far left, doesn't mean the ruling party is "center right". Just because the political parties are #3200FF, #3400FF, #3000FF and #3600FF doesn't make #3600FF "redish purple". They are all blue.
