Nope, if you do (after Deng for China, after Stalin for USSR, for other time periods you could be a leftist) and have extensively learned about it you probably think you’re a leftist but you’re actually a rightist.

So you think Jeremy Corbyn isn’t left? Lmao. What about Lula? Every Cuban politician?

Think about how exactly the sum of their policies align with left values more than right values.

This is you trying to re-align left vs right as culture instead of economic. It’s seriously america-brained bollocks and is not how anyone in the rest of the world views left vs right.
