But in the US the whole "true left" end ot the spectrum of public
opinion, socialism, is missing, neatly excised by the long pressure of
the Cold War. Now the American right wing is busily propogandizing us
into believing that traditional liberals, who have always been staunchly
pro-capitalist and are more like libertarians than anything else known,
are "leftists".

They'll probably succeed, too.

An observation of my own indeed. Here, this is my wisdom. Go and share
it with the world and be my prophet.
