Our neoliberal parties are further left than Sanders... except for the racism. They're pretty racist.
As someone who dabbles in communism I find it very annoying how the label has been hijacked by authoritarians who skimmed the index of Das Kapital and went "I got the gist of it: impose pseudoscientific nonsense on agriculture and industry under the threat of violence and funnel tax money into the pockets of oligarchs." It breaks my brain just how stupid the leadership in Maoist china and the Soviet Union was. Even for criminal autocrats they were jaw droppingly stupid.
