I'm Australian but went to college in America in the late 80s. I tried telling them back then that America did not have a left. It had a Right and Further Right. These days I'd describe the Dems as where the GOP was and the GOP half way into crazy town. What the rest of the Western world doesn't get is that America never had a major party founded in the working class like the Labour Party's in Britain, Australia, Canada,... etc. Nobody anywhere except in America thought Obama or Clinton were lefties. Do you remember that Obama admitted some of his policies were close to what Reagan did? Don't forget Obama Care was partially based on Mitt Romneys health care plan. What Justin fails to get right is that the radical left (and I mean the real crazies like Robespierre, Pol Pot, Stalin type crazy) are few in number and have almost no political power anywhere in the Western World. The radical right these days have the backing of billionaires.

@jokerswank6082 Dude Pol Pot was university educated in France. Its where he became (as we now call it) radicalized.

@jokerswank6082 If you have ever listened to people like Prof. Richard Wolff you'd know that none of those maniacs actually practiced Marxism, communism or socialism. They were just the labels they put on what they did. Don't forget that both East Germany and North Korea had the word Democratic in their names and yet never practiced any form of democracy. Its like America, they might still have elections and can still do things but its slowly turning into a weird form of techno-feudalism run by competing packs of plutocrats and oligarchs.

@jokerswank6082 Don't get snarky - actually read what people are saying. Drop the arrogance as well. You've clearly got brains so use them.
