That's called social democracy. At its core, being left means being anticapitalist. Social democracy itself does not reject capitalism, though does regulate it strongly (and rightly so).

One reason people may favour social democracy is that it allows for a market economy, but another for opposition is that this still enables bribery through lobbies, as in all forms of capitalism.

And so I myself (being an ancom) wouldn't count social democracy as quite being left. But it's a good introduction for liberals and centrists to eventually get them on board with more thorough democratic socialism.

Minus the stars, it's my life. It's pretty good.

Shows how decrepit capitalism is.

Yeah, I unblocked ya. It's interesting.

Anyway, yeah, $40k is excessive.

I think here it's like € 5k, probably less.

No, it is way up north. A few thousand kilometers more.

I actually love them. Roundabouts have zebra paths on the lanes just before the roundabout themselves.

And unblocked. Interesting. When I blocked you, I couldn't see my own comment made to you anymore, nor your comment. Couldn't find or up-/downvote you.

But for you inversely, it works. Interesting.

For my face and neck I paid like € 1,800. Without insurance, that is.

With insurance I could've paid € 0, but that involves sending your pictures to the insurer. No thanks.

Hmm, I'll test it out with you. I'll block you and 30 min later I'll unblock you. See if you can see me in the meantime.

Or put concisely:

"You get $60, but you lose more than $500 and have to be stuck in traffic for hours!"

Shh, don't tell 'em! Tell them it's highly up to date, and that there's aliens and oil in there...
