I think part of the problem with saying you're "far left" is that far left politics are something that are basically impossible under our current Western capitalist society, so many (not all) such people tend to live entirely in theory, rather than action. I would argue, I personally am IN TERMS OF ACTION, almost as far left as a person can go in the society we live in, but because I don't label myself a hard communist or whatever in THEORY, people will call me a liberal 😂😂 (I'm socialist)
