There is nothing wrong with classified as left wing. What is tragic in today's world is that the world's richest capitalists, the ones who have benefitted the most unfettered capitalism, are funding the left simply because it is in their business interests to have a borderless world.
If the left actually implemented their ideology people like Jeff Bezos would be taxed to death.
Apple is another example of hypocrisy. They court the left because that's where their market is. However if they really believed in socialism why did they not repatriate their profits to the USA so the 40% taxes they would have to pay could go towards all the welfare programs they claim to champion. The fact is when it come to the crunch it is their stock price that occupies the position of primary importance.
