    That’s the Overton Window, which is only useful for analyzing medians, not for actual political discourse.

      Well, there’s a relatives to relativity. Overton is quite relative while the spectrum is only a bit relative. Per the sources . It’s no use restricting the left against anyone who advocate maintaining capitalism, as there won’t be enough political entities left… in the “left”, thus “right” constitutes nearly no meaning save commonality.

        That’s certainly a liberal perspective, but leftists disagree. The left isn’t that small either, the most populous state in the world is Socialist.

          Whoops, there’s to my implicit bias despite being from said state in question. But among the deeply capitalist countries, where most of us reside, it’s usually true.

            Ah, was referring to the PRC, was unaware of the population demographic shifts, my apologies.

              It’s okay, I assumed the PRC was what you meant. (As a tangent, what do you think of using CPC vs CCP to refer to their party?)

                I use CPC, because that’s the format that is more consistent among international Communist Parties.
