@Hoss "leftism" in the West has been totally subjugated and controlled since the late 1970s and subverted into supporting establishment interests. It's because leftism was the primary threat to the establishment, historically. And, in perfect American fashion, was possessed and domesticated by the system to further the interests of the system whilst still enabling the adherents to view themselves as being vanguards or something.
America is exceedingly good at the ideological and sociopolitical version of "zombie-ant fungus"ing opposition.
