Americans have no idea what the extreme left is, as evidenced by the daily postings on this board that Democrats are extreme left. The furthest left in the Democratic party are moderate leftists most everywhere else. Single payer/universal healthcare is not an extreme left position, nor is addressing global warming, nor are robust programs for maternity leave, paid leave/holidays, or living wages.
The Khmer Rouge. Mao and the reign of terror. Forced collectivization. The intent of the Red Brigades. These are extreme left examples.
This is true. I got international friends living in countries from around the world, and some that come from war-torn countries as well as communist ones.
If there is one thing I hear consistently from individuals that live from different places, it's that they believe Americans don't have a clue what communism is and the people that push that narrative haven't lived in a communist country a single day in their lives.
If there's any reason why America is a joke to the rest of the world, it's the amount of hyperbole that come from people with privileged backgrounds that like to believe they really got it bad.
MAGA has been an embarrassment to this country and the world has been watching and passing judgement.
I have heard internationals compare Trump to the coming of Hitler, however.
