Obama as far left, I almost loled! What I see in TV here in the central Europe he seems to be other, little autoritarian, middle-centered future American president.
I don't believe Democratic party in the USA is from the left part of politics, it's rather somewhere in the middle, called "the mud" in first French republic. How is then possible that some social regulations, but people do not have state revenue (right-wingeristic), health care isn't free (even when you have the assurance ... see film John Q, right-wingeristic), there are large third world areas in the USA (right-wingeristic), larger and larger social gap (right-wingeristic), etc. Clinton for example caused dead of millions civilians in wars in Iraq (1st Gulf War), Haiti (Jean-Bertrand Aristide won the elections, but USA funded his americanistic oponents to bloody civil war), Somalia (instead of deescalation USA funded many warlords, Italians were against it, but the end was continue of the civil war), East Timor ( tyran Suharto was supported by the USA and few other western countries), Turkey (from the 1950's, genocide of the Kurds), Sudan (strike against farmacy factory in 1998 as it could be Al Qaida's factory), Yugoslavia... (USA also caused many other bloody wars in Latin America, supported Pinochet and his plot, now they say something against Russia as they have supported Georgian dictator).
One of the reasons why social stream was created is to protect poor people and old people, but one of the reasons why many people hate today's capitalism is:
PPL who cannot get to better work because their bosses are against them - boss don't let capable human to get to better place and prefer his friend or friend of his family or clan member even totally incapable like it's happening in policy, too.
Far left starts with Fico (Slovakia, ppl there like their present-day government - socialistic party and hard core nationalistic parties) and ends with Lukashenko(bonapartistic socialism, many independent politicians with communistic mind), Castro(Fidel Castro was against occupation of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Treaty armies in 1968*) or Chavez.
If you don't like them, you probably don't like many Greek medicine doctors (communists), many old ppl, many workers around the world.
*politics here tried to reach socialism in it's modern form and with friendly face. USSR, East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and USA (NATO) wanted occupation. First five to strenghten socialism as they reached bootlicker form of neo-stalinism (few traitors did it, otherwise WP occupation would failed, we almost won against them in 1968).
USA wanted occupation to show the world communists as imperialistic dogs... but it looks rather like both superpowers have been imperialistic, at least for 300 years (Russians have been always "hard core" nationalists, many of them fascists even during USSR era, Chinese or many Islamic nations - Albanians, Turks, Arabs,..., too).
When US soldiers fear from the mine danger so why US government don't want ban mine production? Why many places around the world are mined for decades? Think about it...
US politicians (Russian too) need to keep their army in condition in war as weapon industry needs money, corporations needs new outlets and people want to feel safely, even they let create Police state and let their armies fight for oil and money in some @55 of the world. And they sometimes kill by the way few hundred civilians (bombing of the Iraq in 2003 or bombing of the Chinvalli in first Olympic day by Georgia)...
And USA is lead by Christianical puritans (governor of the Alaska is mother of mother under age)...
Clerofascism seems to be excessive word, but when fascists ran from Europe to Argentina, Vatican helped them as the weapon against communists...
When clerics were at power, it was bloody era, inquisition, burning of ppl or books, dogmas and somewhere this continues (Thailand missionaries acts as slavers of children to use them to work on opium production).
Right-winger is also somebody who is totally americanistic (Charkozi, Topolánek,Yuschenko,...) bussinessman, eventually russianistic, depends if the country is in NATO+allies or not.
Left-winger(George Brown) is somebody who attends on social laws/problems/etc.
Nationalist(Putin) focuses on his (her) own nation, fascist(maybe somewhere in Africa, radical nationalists - even radical Sionists or r. Palestinians) focuses on his (her) own nation and HATES OTHER NATIONS to death. Nazis focused (luckilly nazism is dead) on Germanical uber-nation and wants kill half of the Earth population, throw a quarter of Earth population in slavery and only small part would rule.
Today far-left is about trying to reach the socialism with market economy (only big corporations would be owned by state, no barons), in the past they were trying to reach the communism (it would work only if all the people were like Jesus Christ). The fact is eastern politicians and personnel had same position as rich people on the West (they had servants, too). Happened just what Platon 2 milleniums before warned. One class was changed by another, but from slaves formed new slavers.
Stalinism is combination of socialism and fascism + political (potential) opponents are 'purified'.
Regime of Pol Pot - everyone must be uneducated peasant or uneducated soldier (even Vietnamese hated him so they sent army to Cambodjia ... ... after few border conflicts)
Military junta regime - military rules! "So hurry to work, dummy!"
Theocracy - pray and follow the <hollow book> ... ... and eventually eliminate all oponents...
Kognitism - a teoretical regime where politicians are scientist, experts, etc. Only capable people can get to power in this regime.
Utopia - utopia... name form the name of island where is communism in pure form, ppl are all friends, war is crime and this book was writen in 1516 by Thomas More and it's utopistic.
Rule of the Greens - populistic restrictions, everywhere are wind powerplants, coal PPs go on wood, sh115, weed and emites polutions from chemical industry, food is expensive, travelling is almost impossible how is expensive, nuclear energy is banned, ecology is totally screwed and ecological catastrophe happens in this regime. Why?
Nuclear energy in today's form produces much less radiation than coal powerplants which go on coal where are some radioactive adulterants, no chemicals (polychlored bifenyls like from Indians cow excrements) are produced, CO2 is collecting to plants and that radioactive waste will be history. Thorium reactors produce waste with half-life 30 years, cannot be used on A-bomb uranium or plutonium production. Collective reactors of the last generation leaves very little waste and it's near to get COLLECTIVE REACTOR with no waste! But Greens insists on coal lobby. BTW, Greenpeace experts are for Nuclear energy as smaller evil, so Greens are against Greenpeace, how ironical...
Lobby - tool of the bussinessmen, aka corruption, have to be banned (but this ban is utopy)
Propaganda = political advertisment (still exists and will exist), shows lies as reality (ecopropaganda - left picture contains few wind powerplants and nice landscape (wind PP are ineffective and dangerous in winter or to cardiacs), right devastated land with city and green lighted hill(in the real that waste is deep under or burnt and vanes cannot produce enough energy for the city and today atomic PP stock their waste in special blocks isolated from everything ) )
Imperialism - 1)state is empire (China x Tibet, Turkey x Kurds, Albanians x Serbs in the historical hearth of Serbia called Kosovo with Serbian majority till 1990's)/
2) monopols (empires, corporations) have the real power and nobody is in their way. This happens in China or India, people work hard more than 12 hours a day for very low pay and have no choice, they can eventually choose another slave work (workers in factories in central Europe had to work almost in same conditions) or health damaging work (often non-ecological too)
