Its definitely relative what is considered left vs right in Europe, especially since most countries over there have multiple parties (a good thing). But in general the American Left more closely resembles the "general" European right.

Looking up statistics for which countries are considered more democratic or more liberal, USA is always very far down the lists. Even compared to Italy.

What I mean is social. Take Italy for example. There's been a rise in far right parties across europe
