I'd say you're cherry picking the exact examples where a radically left position ultimately became mainstream. That strongly implies that radical left positions are correct, fruitful and destined to become the norm if only given enough time. In reality it's much more of a mixed bag.

Absolutely the fault of leftists. But agree to disagree, this isn't the place.
