Every person I mentioned by name is a European. Including the former (and very controversial) leader of Labour in the UK and a former Greek economy minister (anyone who actually bothers to stay informed should remember him, he played a very big role in Europe at one point).

I asked a question that you didn't answer so I made an assumption because in no way I'm reading all that text when the question I asked could have been answered in 1 line. Then you insult me because you didn't answer the question.

Yeah.... Okay. I don't hold an opinion on those people, I'm from Spain. They asked you about eastern leftists and you answered with support for national healthcare, which then I replied that Europe also has that.

It's you who did the separation of western and Easter leftism by national healthcare. Please don't lump all those opinions about those people on me, thanks.

While I admit I could have been a little bit less confrontational (my bad on that), I believe I did provide justified examples around why I have a skeptical attitude towards western leftists.

I cited both major political figures (not only in English-speaking countries) and academics.

I also have to admit that I lied, I did recognize the names but put no effort to remember. In any case, sure, I agree that European prominent leftist political movements are a little bit iffy on the war side. In general they think or say that any violence is bad, and that Ghandi's strategy works every time. I agree that that's a way too idyllic point of view but again, that was not the point I wanted to clarify in this comment chain xD

it was kind of a pedantic point so feel free to disregard it, have a nice day.
