Found this graph online for anyone who might still be confused. I think this makes it much more clear.

    He is center right by the standards I have put forth, so definitionally not all standards.
    Regarding your second point, I’d like to say it sounds like you haven’t had much interaction with leftists or left-wing political theory, considering your response.

    Edit: And by the most basic standard of “pro-capitalism or anti-capitalist?” He is, by his own admission a social democrat, which is an ideology that believes in reforming capitalism. So by the most foundational definition of what forms the left- and right wings in modern politics, he is right wing. However I’d say he’s centre right, rather than a hard right.

      My grandpas were partisan, my father in Democrazia proletaria, police have pics of me at 4 in a general strike. We occupied schools and fabrics. I grew in a trozkjist family. My friend, you have no idea was it is the left.

        Neat! I hang out with communist guerillas and a friend of mine carried out some sabotages when he was young and now he’s a union organizer. Also my dick is larger than yours. Also also you’re not my friend, fuck off with the condescension and, once again, educate yourself. Having family that has been politically involved does not mean you suddenly have an integral understanding of politics.
        Considering the many Eastern European chuds I’ve met, it’s honestly more likely the opposite is the case.

        Edit: I cannot imagine being proud of associating with trots lol. Does explain your lack of political understanding though.
        And again by definition Left-wing is anti-capitalist. That is what left vs. right is about. By definition. You being the type to have grown up among some vocal idiots does make a lot of sense for your behaviour.
