In a country where labor unions are compared to ISIS by a state governor, what is far left?

[Fumesucker]

To me far left means pure socialism, no private property, no capitalism, government control of all means of production and so on.

Evidently if you do not think labor unions are as evil as the the most brutal and barbaric terrorist threat now on the planet then you are on the left and if you are any further left than that you are far left.

There are a lot of us here who just don't seem to realize how far to the right the average political view has been pushed by people like Governor Scott Walker. It's a deliberate strategy on the part of Republicans that's been going on for decades and a surprising to me anyway number of Democrats on DU seem to want to completely ignore it but rather give those who want to push in the opposite direction a hard time.

1. Same type of verbage has been in play

by the Birchers since the forties. All this does is pit you against your neighbor,It worked for the NATZ's in the 1930 and today's Rethug Party has been using that play book since Nixon. Wedge and meanness issues works and they know how to Amp-up the volume since they control most Media.

It's the same stuff they said in the Bush years: Al Qaeda, terrorist, traitor, unpatriotic, 9/11 blah blah.
