What about more social housing, reductions in working hours, and opposition to privatisation? Sounds left wing to me.

Maybe we could meet in the middle and call them a nationalist socialist workers party.
replyYou could, just as long as you keep it at that. The term actually does describe a valid political ideology: socialism combined with nationalism instead of the more common socialism combined with globalism, i.e. internationalist socialism ('workers of the world, unite' etc.). The association with Nazism makes it close to impossible to use the term in a 'neutral' way but in itself it just describes a nationalist movement which espouses socialist ideas.
replyYeah, and their leader just happens to be a man disgruntled with the inefficiency and bureaucracy of democracy, mostly famous for his intense emotional political speeches, who blames most if not all of society's problems on his political opponents and/or ethnic minorities.

If a country would decide to use tax money to provide health care services for free to everybody that's not much different than using tax money to maintain an infrastructure network that's free to use (like roads), or free police and firefighting services - and I think none of those examples are considered particularly 'left-wing'.
I was being facetious. Unfortunately enlightened horseshoe centrists didn't want to hear.

replyNo more bizarre than the idea of free speech being ceded to the right.
Apparently even air conditioning is now a left vs right culture war issue...
They're all left-wing
replyLol, so Hitler was 'left wing' because he built the Reichsautobahn, got it...
replyJust like Franco in Spain created the social healthcare system, but they still executed "reds" in the street.
