Ok I don’t expect you to see it but this is exactly why I said it’s a lie that online lefties tell themselves. Globally, yes you absolutely can be center-left without demanding the overthrow of Capitalism.
Being left of center is not solely defined by being Marxist, and one country, even if it actually was Marxist and not 3 Capitalisms in a trenchcoat, would not define the standard of what constitutes “left” in the world.

Left of center is anticapitalist, be it Anarchist, Syndicalist, or Marxist. I also think it’s funny when you out yourself as having no clue what Marxism even is if you think the PRC is “3 Capitalisms in a trenchcoat,” read Socialism Developed China, Not Capitalism.

Neither did I. I just also said Liberalism isn’t left.
The metric you are using is not the metric the actual real world uses for center left.

I am using the metrics the actual real world uses, not wherever you live’s Overton Window.
You just aren’t, but I don’t know where the “no U” is going to get us.
