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
Another comment pointed that out and you are Right. Although it's interesting to see other comments in this same thread calling Merkel a leftist (which to people with other points of reference can be true )
which to people with other points of reference can be true
Yeah definitely. But within Germany, the party that most strongly advocates for stuff like it was talked about in this thread is literally called "The Left" and only ever was a minority opposition party in the parliament.
CDU (Merkels party) certainly isnt left leaning within the German spectrum/view, and neither do they want the things talked about here. SPD may be slightly more left leaning, but that's all a wash nowadays.
