The way I see it, between left and far left the direction is roughly the same, that’s the means and end point that differ (i.e. revolution or not and how far we go into sharing resources). This is an important difference and they should thus not be mixed.

That’s not far left IMO, that’s just left. This is a recurring problem we have in France too, where medias call “far left” parties that are just left. This is a slippery slope, the one on which Overton window slips towards the (far) right…

I miss my granpa’s cooking. His “daube de boeuf” (a dish where beef morsels are slowly cooked in a red wine based sauce) was delicious and he would always make that simple but lovely dessert for me with a fresh fruit salad and gâteau de semoule. I miss him !

Don’t forget beans on toast, mint sauce and having to eat Brussels sprouts every year for Christmas.
