The US is the outlier here though. I don't think any other country's political norms would describe the US Democratic Party as "far-left".

Describing any policy of the dems as "far-left" is just nonsense. It's used as an insult rather than to further actual political discourse.

Let's see

- Decriminalization of theft (now overturned via prop 36 in California) - Wealth redistribution via wealth taxes, unrealized gains taxes etc (Kamala policy proposal) - Support for anarchist movements (support for Jihadist elements, 2020 riots etc)

> Decriminalization of theft

Take all the issue with prosecutorial discretion that you want, but don't pretend that an adjustment in the misdemeanor/felony threshold by $450 means theft is no longer a crime.

maybe I should call it petty theft instead of theft.

Far left is when they appropriate property from the ownership class and hand it over to the workers. Not increasing taxes, lol.
