that's actually not "left", but instead this facade of liberalism which is really neo-liberalism personified.
Yes, but the so called ''Left'' has become corrupted and infiltrated to the extent it is impossible to distinguish between the true left i.e. standing-up for, increasing access to education and the lot of the industrialized and marginalized working class and this snobbish neo-liberal elite looking to secure their sinecures in the oligarchy for them and their offspring or partners whilst denigrating their traditional constituency as under-educated, over-privileged and unworthy of their new more fashionable constituencies. Or particularly in the UK, sending their kids to the best private schools money can buy, whilst insisting state schools are the way forward for the rest of us in public and debate.
Hence the adage: I didn't leave the Left/insert political party they left me.
Many of these activists and party members are the most snobbish and brand conscious, particularly when it comes to lesser watches like Longines, that simply don't cut the elite brand mustard. Queue ad hominem based on watch brands.
As in the UK, the progressive-Democrats will find the politics of intersectionality-hate, division, perceived intellectual/brand snobbishness and anti-Semitism despite MSM collusion and hyper-support will ultimately lead as with Corbyn's brand and soon The Squad types and their ilk into the dead-end chemical toilet of toxicity and irrelevance.
