there's no shortage of "yeah but actually Sanders is far left by American standards so that's what matters. These terms are meaningless in other countries"
Also that quote is correct. All countries are different and face different issues so the Overton Window is going to be very different between nations. That guy is quoting that like it's incorrect. Weird how they don't compare our politicians to some places in the Middle East that would make all US politicians look hard left.
It is really funny that self-flagellating mayos also constantly act like "the rest of the world" is western Europe. Wait until they hear about how weebland hangs criminals on a regular basis. Honestly the left in Japan makes Republicans look like bleeding hearts.
American lefty retards have convinced themselves that the rest of the world is a super woke ultraleft paradise to make themselves feel better about their dumb ideas
These people are ignorant about how hardcore based "diverse" Singapore is.
They praise its housing system with mandatory ethnic quotas but are unaware that it canes criminals and executes drug dealers using this one weird guide.
Even their ideas about right/left in Europe is dumb. If Americans actually saw the far-right and far-left here they would shit their pants and clutch their pearls.
Yeah no shit. If they think that Republicans are far right they should never set a foot in Europe. Let's see how carrying a gay flag works out in Florida and then in Romania.
In my country the Communist party(that gets about 10-20% of the votes) is strongly anti-immigration and against gay marriage. I guess that's not True CommunismTM
They are the same trash. But brocialists are pretending they are not authoritarians and that "This time it will be totally different", meanwhile communists are praising dictators and denying crimes that happened in Eastern Bloc.
Not to mention the huge swathes of Africa and Asia where homosexuality is straight-up illegal, and your own parents would beat you to death for dishonouring the family name if they found out. But sure, America's politicians are off-the-scale far right because they're not sure about letting trans people serve in the military or whatever.
the chapo response would be to blame third-worlders' problems on mayo colonialism because everyone knows those silly ignorant brown people have no self-determination.
And yes, they actually believe that homophobia is a value instilled by whites after centuries of humanism. That must be why they call homosexuality the white man's disease, because of how much mayos forced them to hate it.
Never forget the brutal genocides and famines that occurred under the social democratic New Deal reforms masterminded by the notorious tyrant, Franklin D. Roosevelt, not to mention the atrocities being committed against human rights in Scandivania to this day.
Muh "far left in America is akshhully conservative in Europe"
Even worse, since Europe (well, western/northern is what they're really talking about) is only economically much more left wing.
Americans have a very different idea of what leftism actually is, and American 'leftism' is utterly alien to most Europeans. The Democrats' white-flagellating idpol would make them as fringe as the Republicans' hypercapitalism.
Abolition of slavery, rights and vote for black people, rights and vote for women, end of segregation, Roe v Wade, gay marriage: ALL conservative victories. I'm reminded of the guy who runs Secular Talk saying that in the last 25 years, the Overton window has shifted to the right. Some of these people are living on a different planet.
Being opposed to busing doesn't make you a segregationist, it just makes you not a fucking retard. Which obviously you would understand if you weren't a fucking retard.
In the 1970s they came up with the brilliant idea of desegregating schools by putting kids on buses and driving them half way across the city. So they spent a couple hours per day sitting on a bus going to a school where they would be a minority and isolated from their neighbors.
A cynical person might see it as boomers trying to expiate their white guilt by punishing the children of the next generation. It was never really popular with anyone white or black, but that was the era of crazy left-wing activist judges who were as bad as the crazy right-wing activist judges we have now.
Joe Biden had the guts to openly oppose that bullshit when some Democratic politicians were too cowardly to.
āNever really popularā = āwildly unpopular and probably cost the Dems votes for a generationā because using other peopleās kids as pawns for your social experiments tends to do that
The bussing of white kids to black schools and vice versa to help promote integration in public schools. All it did was make kids take long often dangerous routes to school, and cost a ton in gas. Then they stopped it over public protests and everything went back to being basically the same as before. Ergo, inner city kid bussed out to white suburban school and suburban kid to inner city school. Now both feel out of place and mildly alone, one has to deal with shitty teachers and racism in the inner city and one has to deal with Mayo nonsense teachers and racism in the suburbs.
Imagine not tipping so your service isnt better and pay isnt higher with less costs to the restaurant while letting a consumer choose whether or not to reward good service. Obviously french waiters are the best in town and we should all try that.
White people will never share their wealth and find black kids schooling unless their spawn are forced to go to the same schools. If you oppose bussing, you support white supremacy.
Ancestry isnāt determined by a percentage. She has more in common with Native Americans than any other groups which is why she would be our first Native American President.
Yeah they're doing easy better in both than America's island colony in the Caribbean. And more Puerto Ricans have fled blessed capitalism than rich Cubans have fled after having their mansions seized. But capitalism has done oh so great.
I can have people deliver me random food at random times of the day if I choose...and I take running water and power for granted, so I'd say pretty darn well!

The rightoid hate of Obama is so retarded. As a conservatard I liked Obama -- no real gun control legislation and he droned the fuck out of Muslims. What more could you want?
In the commie tardosphere that was true. You were either communist but a little to the right and you were a "revisionist" or you were a little to the left and you were an "adventurist".
The American perception of politics is one of the most mind-boggling things ever, and I say that as an American.
Um, why on Earth do we have to adopt Belgium's view of what left-right-center should be? We run the entire fucking planet alongside our Chonger brothers and sisters. They can adapt their shitty country's political perceptions to our scale.
I mean, yeah, duh, I am aware there are other nations outside of the so-called āWestā and I do keep track of their political and economic systems. Iām not sure what your point is?
As I said in my paragraph you decided not the quote, most countries have this warped sense of capitalist realism. Iām just saying I find the American brand of it particularly ridiculous.
Can you plot out for me which parties are right or left wing in Lebanon? Or any Arab country? I'm really curious as to how you would map your understanding of politics onto places that exist in the real world.
If it is anti capitalist itās right-wing, if itās anti-capitalist itās left. Simple as that. Literally applicable to any country.
Baathist theory (not praxis, necessarily) for example can be considered a left-wing ideology. Other examples are the socialist party in Algeria, communist parties in Iraq... and I shouldnāt even have to mention them, but also the Kurdish parties? This isnāt to say that these parties are necessarily successful or end up working in praxis, but that can be said of any place in the world today.
The Baathists would have tortured the shit out of you until they realized you were just LARPing.
the Kurdish parties
You actually think that you whining about your student loans is relevant to conflict that's been recorded as early as Xenophon's Cyropaedia 2500 years ago.
Can you not read what I said or am I being confusing? I said Baathist theory, not necessarily praxis, is leftist in nature. Boi.
The point is the Kurds are leftist, Im not sure how the length of their historical conflict has anything to do with it, but ok? Also leftism is bigger than student loans, no, not all leftist are just welfare state Bernie Bros.
No offense but Iām not sure what you guys are on about with the comparing with Western Europe thing. Weāre not. Thereās just actual theory behind this.
Most leftists agree with you, Europe is just a bunch of neoliberal capitalist welfare states.
I'm not saying that the governments themselves are more left. You'd be hard-pressed to find any truly leftist governments, and that was my point about capitalist realism.
However, there are plenty of leftist movements outside of the West just as there are in Europe. America lacks.
You do realize that many of us in cth are Maoist third worldists? We despise the entire west and all its evil settler colonies, and support the third world.
So yesterday i was bored and i checked pit the chapo podcast for like the first time in 6 months since i last listened to it

I know this place is filled with CA rapeugees who think your political spectrum is formed from your stance on immigration and Loli games on the steam store but that is much more accurate even if still wrong.

1 bigdaddyz40 2019-04-27
Explains why Stalin purged the communist party when he came to power
1 llapingachos 2019-04-27
he was a right wing communist, like how the strasser bros were left wing fascists.
1 LittleBittyBigJohn 2019-04-27
Citing leftcoms is cheating, absolutely no one listens to those losers
1 llapingachos 2019-04-27
he was though. stalin was a right wing communist, trotsky was a left wing communist, and lenin was somewhere in the middle.
1 jaredschaffer27 2019-04-27
Um, why on Earth do we have to adopt Belgium's view of what left-right-center should be? We run the entire fucking planet alongside our Chonger brothers and sisters. They can adapt their shitty country's political perceptions to our scale.

/u/PoliticalHedron are you aware that there are countries besides western Europe, Canada, and Australia?
1 PoliticalHedron 2019-04-27
I mean, yeah, duh, I am aware there are other nations outside of the so-called āWestā and I do keep track of their political and economic systems. Iām not sure what your point is?
As I said in my paragraph you decided not the quote, most countries have this warped sense of capitalist realism. Iām just saying I find the American brand of it particularly ridiculous.
1 Redactor0 2019-04-27
Can you plot out for me which parties are right or left wing in Lebanon? Or any Arab country? I'm really curious as to how you would map your understanding of politics onto places that exist in the real world.
1 PoliticalHedron 2019-04-27
If it is anti capitalist itās right-wing, if itās anti-capitalist itās left. Simple as that. Literally applicable to any country.
Baathist theory (not praxis, necessarily) for example can be considered a left-wing ideology. Other examples are the socialist party in Algeria, communist parties in Iraq... and I shouldnāt even have to mention them, but also the Kurdish parties? This isnāt to say that these parties are necessarily successful or end up working in praxis, but that can be said of any place in the world today.
1 Redactor0 2019-04-27
r u 4 fucking real?
The Baathists would have tortured the shit out of you until they realized you were just LARPing.
You actually think that you whining about your student loans is relevant to conflict that's been recorded as early as Xenophon's Cyropaedia 2500 years ago.
1 PoliticalHedron 2019-04-27
Can you not read what I said or am I being confusing? I said Baathist theory, not necessarily praxis, is leftist in nature. Boi.
The point is the Kurds are leftist, Im not sure how the length of their historical conflict has anything to do with it, but ok? Also leftism is bigger than student loans, no, not all leftist are just welfare state Bernie Bros.
1 FoidBlaster 2019-04-27
What would you describe your "leftism" to be?
1 hi_0 2019-04-27
You said anti capitalist twice

1 PoliticalHedron 2019-04-27
Good catch, meant to say just capitalist for right-wing.
1 watermark08 2019-04-27
The communist party of Iraq is like us. Currently they're in the largest coalition in the Iraqi parliament.
1 TheLordHighExecu 2019-04-27
also none of the countries listed are socialist whatsoever
1 PoliticalHedron 2019-04-27
Exactly.
No offense but Iām not sure what you guys are on about with the comparing with Western Europe thing. Weāre not. Thereās just actual theory behind this.
Most leftists agree with you, Europe is just a bunch of neoliberal capitalist welfare states.
1 TheLordHighExecu 2019-04-27
and that's a good thing
1 watermark08 2019-04-27
They're rightists and not the model the new American socialism seeks to emulate. They are greater failures of socialism than the soviet union.
1 jwil191 2019-04-27
Where on earth is more left both socially and fiscally than the US outside of the West?
1 PoliticalHedron 2019-04-27
I'm not saying that the governments themselves are more left. You'd be hard-pressed to find any truly leftist governments, and that was my point about capitalist realism. However, there are plenty of leftist movements outside of the West just as there are in Europe. America lacks.

You do realize that many of us in cth are Maoist third worldists? We despise the entire west and all its evil settler colonies, and support the third world.
1 xthek 2019-04-27
third worlders are degenerates who would literally kill larpers like you.
On second thought maybe you're onto something with supporting them.
1 getoffthephoney 2019-04-27
This is so bogus and I realize that a line does not at all depict actual politics. It only depicts a bunk hypothesis in textbooks on political theory.
1 dramasexual 2019-04-27
Imagine not understanding the basic concept of a frame of reference.
It never even began for chapocels
1 Yonsley 2019-04-27
Well, Commies have been labeling soc-dems as far-right for decades.
1 llapingachos 2019-04-27
trump's rhetoric is left of biden on some economic issues. neoliberalism is fucking crazy man
1 DonElad1o 2019-04-27
It's just like calibrating brightness and contrast on your tv, if you don't see all the shades of grey, you're the problem...
1 bonerdude420 2019-04-27
Stalin was the true radical centrist
1 AnkleJub 2019-04-27
So did Chapocels never go to school or something? Because every time Iām linked there I feel stupider and stupider?
1 throwawayserver012 2019-04-27
Itās honestly true, we need some real left wingers in America because capitalism is destroying it
1 MoreThanSoup 2019-04-27
Biden is far right.
1 prince_of_prussia1 2019-04-27
So yesterday i was bored and i checked pit the chapo podcast for like the first time in 6 months since i last listened to it
I could get hotter takes and more political insights from a fucking microwavable dinner than those fucks. God their podcast is boring and realllly unfunny despite one guy making le jokes and some other faggot literally laughing at every word like hes high
1 HappyFriendlyBot 2019-04-27

I know this place is filled with CA rapeugees who think your political spectrum is formed from your stance on immigration and Loli games on the steam store but that is much more accurate even if still wrong.
