By todays standards FDR would be considered a hard leftist at least economically, Marxism would be considered the far left, as in way out there, though I'm sure you could find some philosophical strains of Marxism in Sanders beliefs if you look hard enough. He is after all a self declared socialist.
Hard left refers to the economic policies of left wing parties prior to the Thatcher/Reagan era before the third way polices of Blair, Clinton and Schroeder took over, which is generally considered the center left.
It does not refer to the far left policies of the Soviet Union and the Politburo. I already said I like Sander so stop getting so riled up. |
What you're saying is objectively wrong. Bernie is not at anywhere close to extreme left. Even if Bernie were a Socialist (he's not), that doesn't make him a Communist, no matter what Trump would have you believe. He's at most (as pointed at) a soft leftist striking a balance between authoritarianism and libertarianism.
