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).

Immigration is not leftist, it degrades value of labor. It's liberal policy - in the US this is conflated with left, but elsewhere liberal stands for individualist policies, while left is more or less socialist, the exact opposite.

Certain kinds of leftist are anti-immigration. But anarchists and those in favor of international communism are aggressively (sometimes militantly) opposed to the concept of national borders or any meaningful restrictions on the movements of people.

And were the people making pro immigration policies in the west in favour of "international communism", or liberal capitalism?
