In theory the capitalist “free market” was supposed to mean that customers are free to choose, it was supposed to be a better alternative to the monopolies of mercantilism.

China? Khmer Rouge in Cambodia?
I know the horseshoe theory is problematic, but it’s fact that some nominally “left” groups in practice resemble the “far right”; today’s China specially in practice resembles more Nazism than Communism.

The problem with the US political system is that it’s so far skewed to the right that the moderate right Democrats are called “far left”, and by hearing “far left” people will associate it with Stalin and Mao…
@FenrirIII
That’s more like “center left”.
At least some definition of “Far Left” would be more: “we’re gonna get everyone’s basic needs meet by exterminating entire social groups because they’re impure”. It’s not the only one, but it’s the one that “centrists” would say it’s no different from the “far right”.

Iguaçu Falls, on the border between Brazil and Argentina. Nearby you could also visit Itaipu Dam, formerly largest in the world.
Going a bit into the same Brazilian state of Paraná, there’s also the amazing Vila Velha park, with incredible sandstone formations.
