As an Australian who went to college in America let me say America NEVER HAD A REAL LEFT and America has never understood what a real left is. America has a centre right and far right. The Democrats might be to the left of the GOP but they are NOTHING like the left wing parties of the rest of the Western world. The only time America ever had anything close to a left was during FDRs New Deal era when he brought the Unions onside. Australia like Britain (and some other countries) has a Labour Party that started in our union movement. Most of Europe has similar Socialist and Communist Parties that started among their working classes and unions. The difference is they are Western democratic parties and not the Soviet style maniacs. One of the easiest ways any America can sound ignorant and stupid is to talk about the Left to people form other countries. Even Obama said his polices we close to Reagans 1980s policies. Obama care was Mitt Romneys plan written up by the Heritage Foundation one of the most hardcore Right Wing Libertarian think tanks on the planet.
