I’ve always heard that Democrats in America would be considered a “right leaning” party in Europe, however I’ve wondered about someone who considers themselves progressive, where they would line up on the spectrum in Europe.

For example I want:

  • Universal Healthcare
  • UBI
  • Taxation of the rich
  • Marriage and general equality for LGBTQ+ persons
  • Better public transport and corresponding social services for all people

Is there something I’m missing in my views, or is that generally what left leaning progressives are looking for in Europe?

    I question whether that can occur in a good way. I don’t see human greed going away, better to cage it under heavy control and not get complacent.
