Nah mate. You’re just out of touch with mainstream politics here in Britain. Jeremy Corbyn defends the USSR. Diane Abbot defended Mao on national tv. John McDonnell’s job is “to overthrow capitalism”. Or the time John threw Mao’s little red book at Osborne. Etc etc.

Mainstream elected MPs. Mainstream opinions.

Yanks are just out of touch with what a political left looks like because they have no left. It makes you think “this person must be a teenager” because the american left simply doesn’t exist and you can’t imagine what the left over here in europe actually looks like because you have no baseline experience of a left to draw from.

These people are the elected soft left demsocs lmao. But all of this shit would cause americans to start screaming the word tankie or whatever because it’s so far outside their experience and education.
