    This used to be true, but I don’t think it is anymore. Or at least my perception is that some parts of the american left are way leftier than the europeans left are.

    Being in so close proximity to the obvious evil of communist regimes might have something to do with it.

      There are no communist regimes…

      Both Russia and China are authoritarian dictatorships operating on a semblance of oligarchy controlled capitalism at this point.

        Not at the moment (especially Russia, who doesn’t even claim to be), but they definitely were in the past.
