what the hell is the "Far Left"?

[Sympthsical]

37. The ostensibly oppressed who seek to become oppressors

I say ostensibly, because many on the far Left are really just over-privileged people cosplaying oppression (see: various campus movements).

They're authoritarian, revenge-minded, oftentimes extremely racist, and seek to create systems that would punish their enemies and leave themselves wholly in charge.

If the question is - where is the boundary between Left and Far Left?" it's there in the authoritarianism. A liberal seeks equality in status and justice for all within society. A far Leftist simply wants to rearrange the decks on the ship (with them being on the top deck, of course). Ignore the rhetoric. They say an awful lot. Watch what they do, how they behave, who they target, and how they treat heretical thoughts and people. Authoritarians. They'd just end up another Soviet-like state if they ever actually managed to gain power (which there is about zero danger of in this country, because no one serious takes them seriously).

At least, that's how I divide it in my own mind. I know Europe's Left and America's Left is different, blah blah blah. But I live in America, so I define these things within American context and its own relative terms.
