To give more international context, what in the US is considered "far left" would be something in Europe the Christian Social parties or other Center-Right parties would do. Here in Luxembourg, the Cristian Social People's Party was originally called Rietspartei, meaning Party of the Right...

I wouldn't go that far. I think Sanders (if he were in a European context) would probably be anywhere from the left-wing of the mainstream Social Democratic or Green parties to a common member of the explicitly Democratic Socialist ones like Die Linke. 

The political party he once headed, was pretty much a New-Left revamping of the various Orthodox marxist parties of the early 20th century. This was their logo. 

That's pretty much what is considered "far left" here in the U.S (by non-MAGA, I should qualify.) The actual far-left of course are communists, syndicalists, and anarchists. 

After re-reading my post, I saw the error: I didn't mean all of the US, what I actually wanted to say was MAGA. For those guys, the Far Left starts at the center-right by international standards, as that's roughly where the GOP ends and the Democrats start.

Don't know why I put US there; probably because it was 6am and I was barely awake, just waiting for my turn to shower...
