@pause1917 @ElTetarr What you are calling legitimate leftist movements are almost entirely authoritarian regimes. Outside of North America and Western Europe, democracy is not the norm. The terms left and right get a bit muddled, but metrics such as women’s education, these countries are not “left”.
@pause1917 @ElTetarr On the scale of Western European politics, not global. Global politics is far different when you consider most people in the world are not ruled by liberal democracies, it is no longer comparable.
