"Uncontrolled immigration" isn't something they are arguing for, and feminism is a "far-left" viewpoint now?

This "far-left" talk just seems fabricated to create a "both sides" narrative with the alt-right.

The idea that immigrants are people who deserve respect and opportunity, and the idea that women deserve equality are not "far-left", they are cornerstones of the underlying values of the left - that people are people and deserve rights and opportunity, regardless of factors out of their control.


What does feminism have to do with the far left? Neither the USSR nor Maoist China were particularly trailblazing as regards feminism.


This makes sense to me as a characterization, thank you, although I don't understand why people get so upset about these distinctions as if I had personally offended them. Where I am from dragging the US into wars is naturally seen critically across parties, so far left is just about the issues you mentioned.
