8. that's an impossible question.
I'm an outright socialist, trade unionist, and believe that America would be well-served by the summary street execution of a few hundred wealthy in order to instill a healthy fear of the working class into the rest of them. That's pretty far left to me.

That said, much of the American "far left" is obsessed with conspiracy theories, identity politics, antisemitism, rejection of science, and the whole-hearted embrace of New Age lunacy and alternative health quackery. Some express admiration for Kim Jong Il, Saddam Hussein, and Vladimir Putin. Fuck that. I can't identify with the Left as a whole, just my section of it.
