    Well they believe in a social safety net, which US libertarians don’t. So I wouldn’t necessarily put them in the same bracket. I still think their politics is somewhat foolish, but I think the same thing of many far left people.

      I find that foolishness is spread pretty evenly across the political spectrum. I think most people believe what they want to believe and figure the “details” will work themselves out. Anyways, here in the US, the “far left” means things like universal healthcare, which seems a lot saner to me than the alternatives.

        The idea of universal healthcare being far left wing would be obscene where I live as it’s already a reality here in the UK and in much of Europe. Far left to me is Marxists, Anarchists, and left accelerationists.
