What Republicans call “far left” policies like universal healthcare and free college tuition are considered middle of the road mainstream positions in most of Europe. How tragic that people have been convinced that they deserve so little by the very people who are taking so much.

Yes the ignorance is hard to believe

Thank you! I am conservative but I support universal healthcare (because the money is already there if we take away the for-profit insurance and hospital administrators). You're correct that Republicans' only tactics are naming certain policies "Far Left" even if they are not.

That’s why they dangle the carrot of potential inclusion in the 1% before us, so that many will refuse to criticize the oligarchs they someday hope to join.

How could a nation of intelligent people not want to give the best chance for their people,it is a win win,but they don't see it.Greed is blind, is it not in the constitution that when a government does not serve the people we have not only the right but theobligation tochange it

Yes. Far left policies like: Feeding the hungry; Curing the sick; Educating the masses; Sheltering the homeless, and oh so much more...

Democrats also call them far left policies. Our only hope is left-right unification based on class.

Yes, that's because leftists in many cases actually had to make it ''middle of the way.'' It's still not ''far-left,'' but don't forget what kind of movements you need! The British NHS has roots in the Fabian Society literature. currentaffairs.org/2020/02/h… tribunemag.co.uk/2020/07/ane…
