"Far" left policies today include such horrors as -
1) Free national healthcare
2) Free education
3) Investment in people
4) Better living standards for ordinary workers
... it's more "middle of the road" politics but still way too extreme for some neoliberals.

Just look at the policies of @AOC, they included such "horrors" as banning assault weapons, mobilising against climate change, medicare for all i.e they are really middle of the road unless you're in that fundamentalist / neoliberal / greed is good / god loves a wolf king camp. 
It's the same with Corbyn and the Labour manifesto - labour.org.uk/manifesto/ - more "far" left horrors of investing in people, free education, improving workers rights, a society focused on the many not the few etc.
... and that's the heart of the problem, this message of "for the many not the few" whether UK or US. This requires sharing and there are strong established interests against this i.e. they don't want to share unless that form of "sharing" or "choice" means they end up with more.
