If they are getting 40% of the vote that is pretty mainstream bub.

Fact is, “extremism” is on the rise all over the world. Far right and far left governments are getting elected in every continent.

Looks a lot like the first half of the XX century. Very scary

For one Mexico. Slowly turning into a dictatorship just like Venezuela.

We will get to see again which is worse, far right or far left. Bets taken

It should be 51% of the vote that a government gets elected on.

Why should the 60% be ruled by the 40% when they’re a minority.

Far left is not just communist/socialist statist authoritarianism. Anarchism and socialism out-right reject any form of non-democratic organization. Their meanings have been shot to smithereen by various right wing groups
