To preface this, I used to identify as a lefist until recently (both because of the feminism, and other reasons that I won't get to in this post) and now I consider myself to be a fully independent thinker as I personally believe that neither the right nor the left has the right ideas for the future.

I also want to make it clear that when I'm talking about the global left and the global right I'm referring to the most accepted defnintion of those terms which you would get if you were to google these terms.

However, when I look at the policies and ideas the global left supports that negatively affect men, it becomes pretty clear that they're the worse option for Men's Rights. They perpetuate all of the abuse apologia and denying that men can be victims of violence, it's always the "Men can't be r*ped", "Women are always the victims", "Men don't have to fear for their lives", "it's always a man", "men are the priviliged sex", "it's all men" and all of the other catchphrases. They are the ones who deny that there are any injustices that men face. Most left-wing publications constantly put out articles that make fun of men's issues and attack us (if you scroll throught this sub you can see plenty of examples of these being posted here) and most left-wing parties are openly embracing the same rhetoric.

Most leftist politicians will also not admit that female on male violence is an actual issue. Feminist and women's organisations are all actively denying that women can be violent against men and leftists politicians are all completelly subservient to feminism and will obviously try to appeal to the feminists by adapting policies that only protect women. You also have the trends like the supposed "context" around violence commited by women which is just excusing any of it with "oh she must have been just defending herself" type of excuses without anything to actually back it up and essetially being just the typical "women can do no wrong" which is also something the left supports.

I have also seen some people talking about how it's the right's fault that male-only conscription still exists in the world, but let's be honest the left isn't going to extend conscription to women either considering that no feminist wants that and the left is completely subservient to feminism. Plenty of left-wing media also pushes the idea that it's unfair for women to be drafted because women are supposedly "overburdened" with unpaid housework (while convineintly ignoring that women don't have to do plenty of the masculine tasks) so the idea that leftist policies will somehow solve this is honestly pretty naive.

Also, there are clear examples of left-wing organisations promoting anti-male policies, such as when Iceland tried to make nonconesnsual circumcision illegal but the Anti-Defamation League (which is a very leftist/progressive organisation) essentially bullied the goverment into backing down.

And just the fact that the left will unquestionably support anything that feminism asks for, when obviosuly feminism is a movement for female supremacy and they will all either deny that there are injustices that men face or will play the "it's mens' fault" card.

And at least in Europe specifically, the left also hates the working class (Especially people without uni degrees) and do absolutelly nothing to fix the housing crisis, so supporting them because you want these issues tackled is completelly pointless in my opinion.

I would personally suggest that you would at least look into more independent politicians in your country/state/province/area and try to find the most pro-male ones.

And while there are plenty of issues on the right (especially how many are actually racist and hateful) if you don't have any proper independent candidates who are electorally viable in your area I think that trying to find some of the more reasonable candidates who identify as right-wing but are still anti-racist, support abortion rights and will still listen to people's concerns is worth thinking about.. I personally dislike most of the global right but many right-wingers at least openly admit that feminism is an actual problem and I can see that there is at least some potential of steering these people towards our goals whereas the left is just a cult that wll always support feminism and anyone who would dare to just slightly veer off the approved line of thinking would get instantly villified and probably kicked off their party.

I think plenty of people have the idea that the left wants to liberate everyone from gender roles but all they will ever do is absolve women from any of their responsibilities whereas men will still have to adhere to all of their traditional roles and carry all of the responsibility. Many feminists openly admit to that and will often claim things such as "but women were oppressed for milenia so now they deserve to be freed from their roles whereas men must adhere to their roles to compensate for that" and similar rhetoric.

This is just some food for thought and I understand that this may vary from country to country a lot, However when I see what at least the left in my country stands for I can't support that in any way. Obviously I wish that there would be more candidates who would fully support the Men's Rights Movement but I have to look at the reality and I can see that the current leftist landscape will never actually support us.
