I want to know where Mandami fits compared to my own nation's political left-right spectrum, going through his stances and theirs, how do I go about it? (lemmy.ml)

Now I know a country is not the same as a city, but my country, the Netherlands, is small and densily populated, so maybe they're somewhat comparable?

I hear Mandami is considered from extreme-left to what he professes himself as democratic socialist, which to me would mean left-wing. I however keep pushing every US politician one or two positions to the right, but that's just vibes. So I would like to compare his stances to at least five political parties from my country, but where do I start?

Should I post an ask Lemmy on each topic how they compare to Mandami starting with housing? Because I would imagine the stances of each party on just one topic would already make quite a long post.

[edit]

I'll try and make several posts on this subject.

Maybe I am misinterpreting you but what I am hearing you say is: he is doing things that are all very well needed but they aren’t considered leftist because the situation right now is bad z

It’s fine that he is a leftist it’s not an insult and I agree his policies will help the city but these same policies are considered left wing policies and decently extreme left wing policies when it comes to state owned grocery stores.

That doesn’t mean it’s bad but if he tried to run under those same policies in Germany he would absolutely be in the left wing party vs the left of center party
