@elduvelle
The left vs far-left is interesting for me, since US left is mostly center, and EU far-left is beyond the ken of most USians.

I would like UBI, universal healthcare, high wealth taxes, reparations, strong environmental protection, and nuclear, solar, & wind power so I picked "Left" :-)

@deirdrebeth Yes… for me far-left would be communism or anarchism

@deirdrebeth @elduvelle this is what I consider left, yep. For far left, I have a vague sense of communism — which I don't necessarily hate in concept, but we've yet to see it done well...

I'm for abolishing states and abolishing the need to work for the profit of others to survive so naturally I picked center (j)

@deirdrebeth @elduvelle In the US I think those things are considered far-left. Regular left means support for unions, higher taxes on the rich, and basic environmental responsibility.

@deirdrebeth @dingodog19 @elduvelle it’s def relative to context.
