I think everything West is leftish at the moment.
The Soviet Union went alt right, what could be more natural for the west to go left?
I'm Gen X, it's all a bit too weird for me.
I've resisted right up until this moment embracing this viewpoint, but I think we really have reached a point where every one of the old labels has lost all utility. We're just sort of passing around paper mache cargo cult effigies of things our grandparents took for granted and didn't bother to preserve for us.
Not really
Maybe the Anglos are becoming leftish, but continental Europe is becoming rightish instead
The british governement are doing more and more anti-immigration and anti-LGBT+ laws, so they also becoming rightish
