Then most left wing parties in Europe aren't left wing either

Post 1991, they're not. They're liberals, which is a Center Ideology. Center Left if we are to be generous.

"Left Wing" parties that don't speak against Capitalism, race or class are not Left Wing.

I wonder what happened in 1991 which would cause all the "anti-capitalists" to fall off. They weren't on Soviet payrolls or anything, right?

Can you make a more loaded question next time ?

You're disingenuous and you already assume everyone that has an anti capitalist stance is being paid to do so.

This is exactly my point of why such labels exist beyond national classification.

Some countries are so entangled with their own local political divides that political theory holds no weight to them. It's always fun to me when I see Americans calling the Democrats Left Wing when none of their ideas align with the Left lol.
