There are few here who are far left on a global definition. Seldom do I read a posts wanting government control or ownership of businesses.

Even ‘right wing’ parties in Europe are not opposed to using the government to insure their citizens don’t live in abject poverty. There are no political parties in Europe, that I am aware of, that favor eliminating universal healthcare.

Welcome to DU. I used to be a republican. As did many here. Then I grew up.
