It shows how much the left-right goalposts have shifted, that even centrist and centre-left policies and positions are seen as "far-left".

    I'm with you on the shifting baseline (towards the right), but to call Die Linke "centrist" or "centre-left"... Let's say: perhaps it's the overcorrection we need.

    I gotta be honest I haven't investigated their policies that deep but they seem like every leftist European party, with moderate takes, not that radical and absolutely not extremist like a "far" nomiker implies
