It doesnt matter whether you call it magic - the political science that we have now classifies and explains our politics to the extent that has been possible.

Being in 'the box' is a problem in the US where being left, leave side socialist or communist has dumb stigmas attached to it, prompting people to claim not being left wing while advocating policies that are called left wing among the 7 billion people in the rest of the world outside the US. That is an American problem. Its those who are in that box who need being 'let out'. Not people like me who live in places where such delirium does not afflict people.
