Even the left normalized the false narrative of “far left”. America does not have any “far left” party
That's not far left IMO, that's just left. This is a recurring problem we have in France too, where medias call "far left" parties that are just left. This is a slippery slope, the one on which Overton window slips towards the (far) right...
Far left is: "We're going to destroy the very concept of private ownership and wealth accumulation"
"... to meet everyone's basic needs"
"..."
"To meet everyone's basic needs, right?"

Literally yes. Housing, employment, education, healthcare and pensions are guaranteed in Cuba, and were guaranteed in the USSR, both in theory and in practice. What are you exactly talking about?
Communism is just impossible to implement. It only takes one human's greed to destroy the system. Center-left is far more plausible where the economy is capitalist with lots of checks and balances to counter extreme capitalists' greed and the state having control over essential industries and important parts of the economy (energy, water supply, transportation, education, healthcare and stuff) while abolishing religious systems to nil the discrimination on that end.
The entire concept of life itself is very capitalist — You have to exploit all resources available to you so you can survive and thrive. Only some species share resources — that too if they are in abundance for them.
Capitalism literally encourages human greed to accumulate wealth and destroy the societal system. Even if you tax and regulate them that's still what's encouraged, as its literally the entire point of the system
And regarding "only some species share resources.." Yes. Us. That's literally what society is. How do you think humans grew to become the most successful species on earth? If you win I do not lose. It's not a zero-sum game. Cooperation is literally a win-win. Do you think technology and science would thrive and prosper in a cutthroat society where people kill and steal from each other over any tiny advantage they can get?

This is an incredibly inaccurate way to describe nature and you feed into narratives that capitalism is "natural" that stop us from thinking critically both about nature and humanity when you frame things in this way.

From Disco Elysium:
You vote left because you want the best for the general good of society, you vote right because you want what's best for yourself, in particular.
Plenty of people also vote right based on hate and fear. They'll vote against there own best interests because of hate and fear.
The sad thing is, that's not even true.
Most poor world be better off under left wing ideals, yet they vote right wing anyway because they're scared that brown people will steal their crumbs.
(But actually that guy in the middle doesn't just have this plate full of cookies. He owns a huge vessel full of cookies)

They vote right because cable news told them it's best for themselves. It's not.
And then never realise that you voted against what is best for you because you just believe propaganda rather than think logically…

Well, far left happen to want exterminate groups as well pretty often. NGL, their ends are far much better than of far rights (if we assume communism is achievable and stuff), but they still don't justify the means.
It's because we lefties say completely justified mean things about so-called 'centrists', and criticizing the literal record of centrism is tantamount to insulting a centrist's identity.
The centrists made up the term so they wouldn't have to face the fact that they're conservatives.
That's right, the centrists are conservatives and the so-called "conservatives" are really regressives at best, plenty of them fascists.
We don't just call everyone we don't like fascists. But uh, them folks are fascists.

I mean to be fair... groups that consider themselves far left also exterminate groups.
The trick is to not go too far. You wanna end up at Scandinavian liberal socialism, but not overshoot it to let's create a famine for kicks and kill all people wearing glasses.

Yeah, you wouldn't want society to become TOO egalitarian and fair! 🙄
You wanna end up at Scandinavian liberal socialism
Speaking as an actual Scandinavian leftie: nope. Not good enough.
Social Democratic Liberalism (which is what it actually is. Socialism is a very different thing) is still capitalist and thus exploitative at its core.
It's better than most, but it's far from the utopian ideal that people from the American Left tend to think it is.
but not overshoot it to let's create a famine for kicks and kill all people wearing glasses
You're thinking along the wrong axis there. There's a HUGE difference between ultra authoritarian leftism like that of the USSR and Pol Pot's Cambodia, and libertarian (original meaning, not bastardized American definition) leftism.

consider themselves

The Far Right: Purity testing for race and religion.
The Far Left: Purity testing for communist ideals and moral superiority.
Both are shills pushing russian propaganda.
