Centralism doesn't exist in Europe either. You've got the left wing party's the right wing party's the ultra nationalist right-wing party's - if you're lucky the right-wing party and the ultra national is right-wing party a different parties, sometimes they're not though.
On that scale centre is right wing. We need some actual communists to balance the political seesaw.
The extremists pretty much all over the world have shifted the conversation so far to the right that there's no room for a centralist party anymore because if they existed they would be opposed to pretty much everything right-wing party's would be doing, and then they may as well just be the left-wing party.
Of course there’s centralism in Europe
What are you talking about lol
That's my point, we don't.
Look at Turkey, you've either got a borderline dictatorship, or you've got a party that want a democracy, there isn't someone in the middle going oh well we should have the best of both worlds.
The right wing have basically pushed their agenda so much that there's no room for anyone in the middle anymore they've stretched the political spectrum so why the middle essentially doesn't exist. There's no shades of grey anymore.
If your first argument is Turkey…
That’s like saying the US public transport available by pointing out that Manhattan exists.
How about this... centrist, left, right... all subjective, even more-so regionally.
Where do I disagree with that?
There’s centrism in Europe and in most cases it will be quite left compared to USA
That is complete bs, my country - Austria - has a center-left and a center-right party and that's exactly what they are. And we do have an actual communist party, btw.
