Mostly that works because what the establishment thinks of as left is really centralist. Real leftists would advocate for socialism.
Of course the US goes even further into the insane category by basically just having everyone be right-wing with different flavors.
Only socialism? Fucking LIB! A real Leftist would have advocated for Communism!
The political spectrum is two-dimensional not one-dimensional. Left is a position on just one axes, communism exists on an entirely different vector.
You would not believe how hard the Lemmy Lefties try to gatekeep the word "Left" behind their exact subset of beliefs. Right up to the point where they just ban you from their instance...
The horseshoe is very real.
