Maybe I am confused and I didn't understand what you mean, but if you mean "hard-left" in the political sense, I feel I have to disagree. In a lot of western country, the "hard-right" has won: Trump in the US, Johnson in the UK, Orban in Hungary, Bolsonaro in Brazil, ... And in some other country they are maybe the strongest they ever been in recent memory (France, Belgium, arguably even Germany). I cannot think of any "hard-left" president/prime-minister that has won in any country recently. Moderate left maybe, but no hard-left. So if anything, the institutions in power are dragging us to the "hard-right", not really the opposite. Sure, some institutions have always been a left stronghold, but until now, it doesn't seem that they had really any impact in shifting the power balance ...
