Could you point to a left-wing policy or regime that has led to political instability and concentration of political powers?
I ask because concepts like worker enfranchisement and more equitable wealth distribution seem to address those problems while unfettered capitalism exacerbates them. It's also worth noting how much democracy is undermined in a system where economic power is tantamount to political power and wealth consolidation is the norm.
On the other hand, are you able to point to centrist policy that effectively reverses the rapidly declining democracy and freedom in say the US?
No. That’s literally the farthest they’ve cared to explore such claims. “I heard it once, that’s good enough for me”
You mean to tell me that a political ideology defined exclusively by the flimsiest understanding of what they're not has no meaningful understanding of the world or any solutions?
