It's interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been elected leader of the UK Labour Party at the same time as Bernie Sanders is surging in the Democratic nomination race.
The problem, as I see it, is that far left candidates open the door to far right nationalist/populist types (care to name one in this election cycle?) who are a helluva lot scarier.
Lefties probably would not do too much harm and might actually do some good; but one can't say the same for the right wing extremists who always seem to result to wars whenever their "legitimacy" is challenged (Netanyahu?) .
