This is a ridiculous comment. I don't know if you've noticed but a lot of what's happening in the entire western world politically is a result of the backlash against wokeness and leftist economics.

Without wokeness there is no Trump, and the far right in Europe would still be marginal.

Edit - it's funny, just yesterday I was listening to a podcast where Peter Thiel was lamenting the lack of introspection on the left. Lots of comments proving it correct.

What big leftist economics policies have been enacted in the West recently?

Massive expansionist post-Covid fiscal policy and QE that created the inflationary crisis. Mass immigration (yes immigration is an economic policy).

What nonsense is this? The St. Louis Federal Reserve documented most inflation was due to profit seeking (gouging), not QE—that’s right wing libertarian drivel.

Profit seeking is normal behaviour. The economic system normally keeps it in check through competition. If it's not kept in check it's because of the economic conditions.
