    Honestly many US states are further left then many EU countries and at least try to do some good work for the enviroment.

        Universal health care is not EU wide. Quite a few countries do not have that. Bulgaria sits at 15% uninsured for example. PTO is nice, but it is really just a way of paying out money. In the end it hardly matters. If you earn more on the days you work, then it ends up being roughly the same. Mutual assistance is very very loose. Plenty of EU countries have no problem whatsortever to send refugees to die. Homelessness is much more common in the EU then in the US.

        At the same time the EU has with Hungary a full blown dictatorship. Far right governments are ruling multiple member states already and are systematically removing workers rights. Greece just introduced the 6 day work week and eliminated a lot of worker protections as well.

      Which states is it you are referring to? And which countries? And what is it that you think qualifies as being “further left” in this case?

        I am thinking of states like California, Oregon and Hawaii. As for EU countries I am thinking of Hungary, Italy or Slovakia for example. As for further left that to me means giving more power to the majority of the population. Be that economic or political. Last time I checked none of those US states were activly trying to turn the states themself into dictatorships, which has been very much the case for those EU members.
