Agree. In my humble understanding, and watching from the sidelines, I personally would consider Sanders a common leftist. Democratic Party, though, is for me centrist --even right-centrist. Republican Party is practically far right for me.
I don't know any far leftist politician in US.
Quite accurated.
You have a point at X-Men as a team, but I still think they're individuals and we can have hints of their different particular positions through their acts, thoughts and words. E.g., which one's prone to use firearms, which one supports death penalty, which one sees salvation through universal and egalitarian education, which one grows rich with transnational corps (I don't care about charitable works), which one looks what happens beyond mutant issues, which one relates more and better with no mutants, which one works the best and which one works the worst as a team, and so on.
PS: Which one collaborates with far right governments or paramilitary organizations...

You know what? I'm just digressing from the topic, so I'm gonna stop here.

I do not digress. I don't support 'force' neither 'suppression', but I've recently witnessed what happens when you deal with ultraintolerant groups, which don't respect human rights, as if they were an acceptable group in terms of politics.
EDIT!!!: This post was in response to previous #50, which has removed its content. Now it has little sense. Also, where I said 'digress' I meant 'dissent'. My bad.

"Cable was right!"
Left-right is a separate spectrum than authoritarian-libertarian, you have far-right authoritarians like fascist and libertarians like American libertarians (though in it's effects the only difference is oppression by the state to maintain the companies power or just by companies) and you have far-left authoritarians like Leninists and Maoists and you have far-left libertarians like anarchists (socialists are on the left libertarian spectrum but in the middle between libertarian and the center and communists are too varied, they are different versions on both sides of the spectrum, and that's only if we consider the socialist/communist division made by European socialist parties, a socialist state is supposed to build towards communism, communism isn't an alternative to capitalism, is the next stage, like capitalism was to feudalims).
Studies have shown that centrists are the group most opposed to democracy, which makes sense since centrism is the maintenance of the status quo and that requires a zealot opposition to the voices of the majority who demands change, all fascists dictators got into power with the support of centrists
