Opinion of "True Leftists"

[AggregateDemand]

Depends on the issue. In some ways they are much better than American liberals.

A true leftist would never spend $1T on healthcare, but only cover 1/3 of the population. European socialists certainly don't stand for it. Pork-barreled spending of that magnitude is the calling card of the American liberal. "Waste is a virtue. Vote Democrat".

True leftists don't support "unions" that sell jobs to automation companies or foreign countries for a 5% bump in legacy benefits. American liberals don't even think twice.

The downfall of the true left is their lackluster support of individual liberty. The American Left tends to get that part right, despite their other shortcomings. That's why the American Left is in business and the True Left is just an abstract idea.
