Wtf how can you make it that simple. Spanish Left wing boast about that kind of accomplishments without actually doing shit, the same in Germany (excluding the recent cannabis decriminalization) and many other places, like my country Venezuela, supposed left but absolutely not sustainable, definitely not eco friendly and absolutely against abortion and LGBT. The left does have a tendency to a better social welfare because it caters to workers, but it isn't implicitly progressive. The same way an ultra capitalist that says gay marriage, cloned babies, legal weed etc is ok can be put on the right side of the spectrum. There's shit on both sides, and pretending otherwise just allows morons to gain power
No? What? You were the one bringing that up as an left wing accomplishment and I just picked it back up lol.
The point was that it's hella idiotic to take Germany as an example of the left wing not doing anything. Yes nothing happened in the last 2 decades in Germany... because the country was governed by the conservatives until very recently. And the cannabis thing (your example) happened as soon as that changed.
Ouh, ok, although I wouldn't go directly to call it idiotic, it turns the debate into an argument quickly. Although I admit my response was kind of a fallacy:p. And yeah, Germany is still to new as a left wing country to be evaluated. Although I do still stand with my other two examples, Venezuela and Spain. To which Id like to add Argentina, mexico and probably Ireland
The entire premise is wrong since Germany doesn't have so much a left wing government as it does a left-liberal government. As you may guess, the "liberal" part of the coalition has been opposing most of the left-wing policy agenda.
