'far-left' in the US mean tankies, and while some of them are anti-republican (not political party), the majority is not, so it would not be classed as far-left. And even those who are anti-republic want to go to a previous state, which is quite different from usual far-left who wants to go beyond republicanism, towards a libertarian commune (libertarian in the sense of anarchism/plateformism).
I just realized that US politics captured a lot of political words that used to have a meaning, and changed that.
- jruohonen 3y agoYes, it is getting ever more challenging for trying to understand US politics, particularly at the fringes. Note that we have loonies too, sure, and what is interesting is that they pick their garbage mostly from US loonies, but this garbage does not fit well into the local settings, so that the result is often even crazier.
- Zigurd 3y agoUS cultural influence is enormous and there's no hiding from it. That means we export our right wing lunacy. You can see the influence in, for example, right wing gun fetishism even in places with strict gun laws. The US bears responsibility to not let so much of our pollution float into other countries.
